Photo manipulation software enables the home photographer to improve or completely alter their pictures while a huge variety of storage options await anybody that wants to transfer their pictures from the memory card or memory stick of their camera. The budding home photographer can even have their favourite photographs converted into high quality canvas prints that can be hung on any wall of the home or office, or given as the perfect personal gift to celebrate any event or occasion.

Digitisation has had a massive impact on the field of photography, our perception of the media and the nature of practice within the field. Artists like Andreas Gursky have embraced digital manipulation to create iconic work, however is this at the cost of a belief in the “truth” of photography? Digitalisation has made the work of a photographer easier and cheaper, and could be seen to have made photography available to everyone.

Panning is a great technique to use if you want to create special effects in traditional photography fashion. You can make interesting images in the camera, without digital manipulation or photoshop filters. Like previous articles on creative lighting, you will be using similar techniques and settings on your digital SLR.

There is a huge range of filters that can be used with black and white photography, but there are few common ones that you may want to keep in your camera kit for all occasions. This article is mainly written for film users but can also be useful for DSLR users when shooting black and white. Of course the Yellow-Green is not valid with digital photography and manipulation may also be done in the camera or with your photo editing software.
