Digital Photography is a form of photography that uses an array of light sensitive sensors to capture the image focused by the lens, as opposed to an exposure on light sensitive film. Photographs were made by exposing light sensitive
photographic film, and used chemical
photographic processing to develop and stabilize the image. By contrast,
digital photographs can be displayed, printed, stored, manipulated, transmitted, and archived using digital and
computer techniques, without chemical processing. Digital photography is one of several forms of
digital imaging. Digital images are also created by non-photographic equipment such as
computer tomography scanners and
radio telescopes. Digital images can also be made by
scanning conventional photographic images.
