Photography is a fantastic hobby, the only trouble is that, for some reason or another, it has always been a lot easier to take photos than to get them out on display. In times gone by, it really was very common to find rolls and rolls of undeveloped films squireled away in drawers. They would often lie there so long that they deteriorated to the point where the color reproduction was very poor when you eventually got them back from the lab.
The alternative of course was the Polaroid. It was really quite exciting watching the picture come to life in front of your eyes. Trouble is the film was quite expensive and you didn't get a negative, though for some that uniqueness was all part of the charm.
Thanks to the advent of digital photography things are a little different today. Most modern photographers will have their work stored electronically on memory sticks, or possibly on the hard drive of their computer. Nevertheless, the end result is all too often the same - their digital photos are every bit as inaccessible as the reels of film tucked away in the kitchen drawer.
Digital picture frames shouldn't really be thought of as some high tech gadget. You should simply consider them to be a very easy and effective way for you to get your photos on display with the absolute minimum of fuss and expense.
It's really easy to load up your snapshots into digital frames. There's no need to wait for them to be returned from the processing lab and there are no printing or processing costs associated with their use. They offer functions such as slide shows, background music using mp3 files, some of them can show short videos and - should you become bored with your current selection of photos on display - then it's a simple matter to change them.
Currently there are frames available to suit all budgets. They now start as less than $10 for a small frame - typicall one and a half inches square - on a key chain, and you can go up to frame sizes of 12 or 15 inches - some even larger ones now exist - that may set you back a couple of hundred dollars. Whatever type of frame you opt for, the key thing is to get your photos out on display where they can be enjoyed and appreciated. - 30452
