Chapter 3. Beyond the Still Image

Digital photography is more than just traditional still images because it lets you take your images places you could never take them before. It's almost as if we have entered an era where if you can imagine it, you can capture or create it. Technology lets you explore your artistic visions in new and entertaining ways. You can create images that show 3D depth and extreme widths and explore animation in the form of animated GIFs, morphing, and flipbooks. These possibilities can be combined with your digital camera's ability to capture short video clips, sounds, and sequences of images—perhaps even time-lapse and night vision photography.
