Divitale recommends getting expert help in assembling the appropriate digital capture system. Find someone who can advise you on what to buy, where to buy it, and who can oversee putting it all together. Divitale, Ames, and Stephens say they are constantly learning new things to do with their digital cameras and software, the creative experimentation process never ends. While traditional photography may get a run for its money, most people don't believe it will go away in the foreseeable future.
