Changes in technology have an effect on many different eras relative to these changes. Those who remember the introduction of digital photography know how far this technology has come and how it has impacted several different areas including that of cell phone features. One of the major changes in digital photography is that of cost and ease of use. In its early days it was not unusual to pay $300 or more for a digital camera that was rather difficult to use and would connect only to a special digital photo printer. Today one can sometimes find a fairly decent digital camera for around $150. With the introduction of photo quality printers, it is no longer necessary to have a special printer for your digital camera.
When digital cameras first became available many people could not afford or chose not to invest in special printers but preferred to remove their memory cards and take them to the local store for processing. Many stores at the time charged under $.30 a print with sales sometimes lowering the price to $.10 a print. Even those who had photo quality printers at home jumped at these prices since the price of using expensive printer ink would far exceed the price of paying for the professional printing. This was before it became easy to share photos using sources such PhotoBucket and other similar sites. The sharing of photographs online with family and friends has made it easier, cheaper and more convenient for everyone to share digital photographs.
Changes in technology in the 21st century make it cheaper and easier to take digital photographs including changes in cell phone technology that even include memory cards in some models. We can certainly expect to see many more changes over the years in both still and video photographer as technology continues to change and make digital photographer cheaper, more reliable and of higher quality. It is likely that within even the next five years the current digital photography technology will see some major improvements.
Slimline cameras have replaced the larger and bulkier ones that were first introduced, so we can only surmise that the future will show digital cameras no bigger than a cell phone. The biggest changes are likely to come within the area of video digital photography which has seen more innovations than that of still photography. Video technology is constantly changing especially relative to camera size and price.

Let me start by saying this: it's very difficult to sell photographs. That being said, the easiest way to get started is to do a blog. You can post images there and describe what's in the pictures and how you did the shots. Also, PBase is an online photo gallery where you can sign up and start uploading images. There is some amazing stuff there – definitely worth looking at even if you don't sign up. Then, there are online stock agencies. I would suggest Alamy because it's relatively easy to get started. Then, finally, check into a local photo club. Clubs often have competitions in different categories, and these things are a good learning opportunity. You can see what others are doing and you can learn from judges comments. Sometimes, you may get to exhibit photos with the club for sale at local municipal buildings, etc. Good luck!

Great vidio’s! I’m a newbie and am learning a lot that I didn’t know. Thank you!

Great tutorials, thanks.
I also recommend the book “Light Science and Magic”, just days after I got it my lighting started improving by leaps and bounds. I love how it doens’t just show a bunch of setups. Nope, you have to read and _understand_ the theory it teaches, then you can come up with your own setups based on knowledge about light.

LOL. Thanks, I’m glad someone appreciates the humor. The animations are Monty Python inspired. I think I’d just finished watching The Holy Grail for the millionth time before I edited this video.
