Photography means writing with light. There is basically very little difference between analogue and digital photography. Analogue photography uses a camera and a roll of light-sensitive film, whereas digital photography replaces the light-sensitive film with a sensor that records light signals on a memory card. This gives digital photography the advantage that the photographer can view, check and edit the result that has been recorded.
