Pixels, Bytes, and Resolution
Digital images consist of tiny dots called pixels, each containing information about its color. The prefix "mega-" indicates "million," so a ten megapixel camera uses up to ten million pixels to store each image that it captures.
Don’t confuse mega-bytes with mega-pixels. A mega-byte is how we measure the size of a file. Mega-pixels are used to measure the density of the dots on an image (and consequently determine the quality of the photo).
“Resolution” is often given in sizes like this:
- 800x600
- 1024x768
- 3200x2400
There’s a direct correlation between resolution and mega-pixels. To figure out the amount of megapixels for a resolution of 800x600, here is the formula:
Multiply 800 x 600 and then divide by 1,000,000 = .48
So, an 800x600 resolution image can be taken with a .5 mexapixel camera (rounding up).
If you shoot with a 12.4 mexapixel camera, the maximum resolution is 4288x2848.

Street Photography for the Novice
Street Photography for the Novice
Street photography is a fantastic idea in theory, but when I first took a crack at taking pictures on the streets of Downtown Seattle, I got nothing. I walked around for an hour, spotting great photo ops, holding my camera tight against my chest, waiting for someone to either yell at me for taking their picture or steal my camera. It took a couple of years to get up the nerve to start taking pictures and now I always take my camera into the city. Here are 10 tips that helped me get over my street photography shyness.
