Humorous Infographic Shows How Digital Photography Changed the Way We Take Photos

by 8 Comments

Back in the days of film you would think twice, at least, before snapping a photo. You’d then wait patiently (or impatiently) until you used the entire spool to have it developed.

The digital photography revolutionized our entire photo-taking process, from the thought invested prior to clicking, to how many of the photos we actually bother to develop (or edit) to what we do with the photos later on.

This infographic by Truth Facts is a humorous, though kinda true, presentation how photography today compares to film photography.

Thanks to digital technology, more people own cameras these days than ever before. They also take more photos than ever before since it is so simple, free and you have a camera of some sort with you at practically anytime.

Between dedicated digital cameras, smartphones, tablets, etc the amount of photos that are captured and never looked at again is staggering.

Look at the photos on your own smartphone. How many of them were actually ever used or looked at after the moment?

  • Back in the days you would wait days to make fire to prepare food. Other human creatures would use this fire to burn down anything around or else.

    “Humoristic” – you gotta be kidding me! That’s humorous!

  • I remember reading about National Geographic photographers, when in the field would shoot 200-300 rolls of film for a dozen usable photos. Shoot-many-choose-few has always been the case, just in the past you had to have deep pockets, and today it’s accessible to everyone.

      True, i remember when i was little and would go on vacation with my parents with 2, maybe 3 rolls of film for 2-3-4 weeks of vacation. Then, when we got our first digital camera and got back from a vacation of 3 weeks with 500+ photos we were all amazed of this witchcraft. now, with my dslr, i got almost 8k photos in 1.5 years….that’s a lot (for me at least)..

  • Still have tons and tons of 35mm films 😀
