To produce the highest quality image, it is important to eliminate from the stack sub-frames that are of lower quality than the rest. Sub-frames can be inferior due to changing focus, dew, tracking errors, flexure, mirror flop, wind, vibration, clouds, and many other things. With CCDInspector, you'll be able to quickly select the best frames of the batch by measuring the quality of each of the images.

  • Digital Versus Film for Travel Photography, 2009 I Began Using 35Mm Film in 1978 and Switched to Digital Cameras After 2004
    Digital versus Film for Travel Photography, 2009 I began using 35mm film in 1978 and switched to digital cameras after 2004. This article explains why. by Tom Dempsey, creator of PhotoSeek.com October 21, 2011 Summary A. Advantages of Digital 1. Slow Film Work Flow 2. Fast Digital Work Flow 3. Compact versus SLR B. Disadvantages C. Film versus Digital Camera Table 2007 Summary The instant feedback of a digital camera will improve your photography much more quickly than a film camera. Digital cameras have overcome the disadvantages of earlier models and have surpassed 35mm film. Digital cameras offer new capabilities beyond film, such as instant image feedback, an informative histogram of light values, white balance control, and powerful RAW file adjustments which can recover highlights & shadows after shooting. Some photographers prefer film for long exposures, for extra quality in poster-sized prints (requiring expensive professional scan), and for other artistic reasons. But just two years of using portable digital cameras convinced me to forgo film. Publishable pictures can come from almost any Trees reflect in Tidal River, at Wilson's Promontory National Park, Australia. camera. Good photography comes from you, not from the camera.

Lightweight digital cameras for travel improved quickly from 2003 to 2009: o In spring 2007, my Nikon D40X SLR camera was mounted with the Nikkor 18-200mm VR lens, together weighing 38 ounces.

  • DOHM Seminars Were Held at the National Library, Various Institutions Across Australia and Overseas
    This page has been intentionally left blank Digitisation of Heritage Materials While most large cultural institutions are capable of setting up digitisation programs of their own, many smaller organisations or groups struggle with covering significant initial costs and trying to acquire the knowledge required to run a successful digitisation project. Obviously, commercial solutions are available but they tend to be expensive and aimed at the upper end of the market organisations that can afford to purchase professional equipment, software and expertise. Recognising these difficulties, the National Library explored possible alternatives and in due course developed a basic training program in digital copying and archiving of still images. The objective of the program is to provide participants with practical skills to capture, manage, preserve and provide access to digital images. The course's aim is to teach best digitisation techniques and practices using least expensive options currently available. We believe that recent advances in technology permit successfully running of digitisation projects on a very tight budget. Initially, a very successful pilot training course was held at the National Library of Australia (Canberra, Australia), in June 2007. It included a full day of theory and another full day of hands-on modules. The Library provided all materials and digitisation equipment. Since then, multiple DOHM seminars were held at the National Library, various institutions across Australia and overseas. DOHM contact details: Andrew
