Picture Frames and Photos

Author: Josie Lee

Picture frames are normally made of hard or soft wood. Other
materials--such as polystyrene or aluminum--are used as well.
Picture frames may be of any texture or color, but gilding is
popular on older frames. Depending on the subject matter of
photos, picture frames can have elaborate mouldings. Picture
frames may contain a glass pane or a plastic glass substitute,
like Plexiglas--this protects the photos. Glass may be treated
with assorted coatings, the most traditional being UV filters.
Glazings such as Optium, Denglas and Museum glass have a coating
that makes the glass partly non-reflective and basically
invisible under ideal lighting situations.

Picture frames are containers added to photos in order to
enhance, protect and display photos. Some individuals even
possess digital picture frames. The photo frame displays digital
photos without the arduous need to print the photographs.
Currently, digital photography unavoidably display the photos
directly from the memory card of a camera--although a few styles
may also provide internal storage to the memory. Some models can
even load photos over the Internet from an RSS feed, by e-mail
and photo-sharing websites like Picasa or Flickr. Most digital
picture frames display photos as a slideshow. Digital photo
frames can even play movie clips which are recorded in a
camera's movie mode (MP3 audio or MPG files).

The process of recording photos by means of capturing the light
on a medium that's light-sensitive,--sensor or film--photography
is light patterns emitted from certain objects to expose a
sensitive chemical (electronic medium) during a timed exposure.
This is normally accomplished via a photographic lens in a
camera, which also stores the resulting information
electronically or with chemicals.

Since traditional photography burdened most photographers
working at remote locales without the easy access to processing
facilities, Kodak unveiled the new, sophisticated DCS 100, the
very first commercial digital camera in 1990. Thus, commercial
digital photography came to life. The high cost precluded uses
other than professional photography and photojournalism. The
primary contrast between chemical and digital photography is
that analog photography does indeed resist manipulation since it
entails film, photographic paper and optics. Digital photography
is undeniably a highly manipulative medium, as it is quickly
replacing film photography in professional and consumer markets.

Fortunately for the savvy consumer, most picture frames are
simple and elegant to match with practically any furniture and
appliance. Photos can come in picture frames that are available
in gold, silver or sometimes even platinum colors, with a wide
3' frame borders. This gives most picture frames the look of
style and contemporary appeal, coupled with beauty and elegance
to maximum expression. Most picture frames are manufactured and
handcrafted for photos of weddings, birthdays, family gatherings
and anniversaries.
