Welcome
The term "Framed" refers to the act of enclosing or presenting something within a frame, which is a common practice in photography to enhance the visual appeal of an image. "Shot" relates to capturing a photograph, often used to describe the act of taking a picture. Together, "The Framed Shot" suggests a focus on both the artistic presentation of photographs and the moments captured, implying a professional and curated approach to photography. The name evokes a sense of artistry and attention to detail in the photography business.
Floppy Disk
Floppy disc camera storage refers to early digital cameras, such as the Sony Mavica line, that used 3.5-inch floppy disks to save images, providing a simple, cable-free way to transfer photos to a computer by inserting the disk directly into a PC's floppy drive. These cameras stored digital images by magnetically encoding them onto a circular platter inside the floppy disk media. The primary storage medium was the 3.5-inch floppy disk, a removable magnetic disk that could hold a small amount of data, typically around 1.44 MB. Due to the limited capacity of the floppy disks, these cameras could only store a small number of images at a low resolution, such as 20 JPEG images per disk at 640 x 480 resolution. The main advantage was the ability to easily transfer photos to a computer without needing cables or special software by removing the disk and inserting it into a compatible drive on a PC or Mac. As digital camera technology advanced, these cameras evolved. Some later models, like the CD Mavica series, moved to 8 cm CD-R/CD-RW discs, and some "floppy-disk" Mavicas became compatible with Sony Memory Sticks via adapters. Despite their drawbacks, floppy disk cameras offered some advantages, such as inexpensive storage and easy transfer of images to computers that typically had built-in floppy drives at the time. Floppies served both as the "film" for recording the image and the "negatives" for archiving the shots. The ease of use made them popular, especially for sharing images via email or on the web. However, the bulky size of the cameras due to the floppy disk drives and the proneness of disks to failure contrasted with the emerging solid-state memory technology. Floppy disks have since been replaced by higher capacity and faster storage methods like USB flash drives, memory cards, and optical discs.
