Film and digital cameras

In today's modern world, we are all about technology and everything is digital. We can almost do anything and everything using computers. Back in the 1880s, it was a little different. When photography first took off, they used film cameras. Instead of everything being digital, you have to use a type of film paper. I don't know a lot about film cameras... but, I do have one and am learning how to use it. It is good to know not only how to use a digital, but also film.
Once the digital cameras came out around the 1970s, it made the photographic world a lot more simple. Instead of processing the film, you could just download it to your computer. This also helped the photographic design take off as well. People could take photography to a whole new level. They all complimented each other.  Photography has advanced so much since the 1970s... and proceeds to grow in new possibilities opening up to technology.

I'm in photography and I really like it, I like using the older cameras better though.

I'm in photography this semester. I dont like it all, but making the home made cameras were pretty cool.

I remember when we were younger kids they still had the film cameras. I personally like digital cause you can look at your pictures before you print them.

We just used digital cameras in photography and I really liked how the film turned out but it took a long time to develop. I also have a digital camera and I can't wait until a get a better lense.

For the average photographer, I think digital is great. However, I think professional photographers should be able to take pictures both ways.
