Digital Memory
Does Your Memory Let You Down?
It’s a well worn joke that our memory gets poorer as we get older, but in photography terms things are actually getting better every day.
One of the initial downsides to digital photography – certainly a negative point for professional photographers – was the limitation of digital memory. Storage isn’t the only issue; many photographers use fast mode to take rapid shots in succession, requiring capability of high speed transfer of image to file.
Thankfully technology has kept pace with demand and now it’s possible to buy not only a digital camera memory card with incredible memory capacity, but also something that’s able to keep up with the demands of fast action photography.
For amateur and professional photographers alike, the problems of storing images – particularly high resolution pictures – can be a constant issue. For photographers on location, running out of memory is the same disaster as running out of film was 10 years ago. Images need to be stored somewhere until they can be downloaded on to a computer for analysis and optimisation and this is where secure digital, or SD cards and SD-HC cards (high capacity) come in.
A large number of photographers store their images on SD memory cards, buying more cards as and when they need them. Others store their pictures on their computer. However, graphics use up a large amount of computer memory so a popular solution these days is to use USB key drives to free up computer hard drive space.
One particular memory card manufacturer with an excellent reputation is Kingston. Their SD cards and USB key drives are available in a wide range of capacities and formats. Whether you need instant storage whilst out on a shoot, or somewhere to download images for storage, Kingston offer reliable, convenient storage for all types of purposes.
Kingston’s Elite Pro range of CompactFlash memory cards are highly recommended for taking fast action shots, such as fast action sporting events. Whilst not all photographers shoot this genre, those that do using Kingston’s Elite Pro cards find their limitations are purely physical: just how long can you keep your finger pressing the shutter button?
The problem of being ‘locked out’ of functionality by your camera as it struggles to transfer images from buffer to memory is never an issue with these excellent memory cards. Memory capacity currently extends to a massive 16GB, so there’s no need to hold back on shooting high resolution fast images at any time.
