Remember that era of nondigital cameras when we needed a film roll to capture a picture. The roll allowed only 30 pictures that could be captured. So, people were very selective in the shots they took. Unlike, the present scenario where the digital cameras allow us to take multiple shots of the same picture without costing anything.
Another difference was in teh ability to see teh captured image. The films needed to be developed and that was a costly affair. Unlike these days, when we get to see the image within a second.
I would consider digital photography as the biggest invention of science.

I don’t miss those times. One wrong move and all your photos are gone.
I would have a hard time coming back to those times. Technology has made us spoiled.
I agree. IT is really hard to adjust with the old times now
I am glad those days are past, I have a tub of photos made from paper, but I have one tiny section online willed with thousands.
That must be something you will always cherish
We still have an unopened roll of film in the fridge that I think will still work.
Really… wow. Do you still have the camera as well?
I still shoot with great pleasure on film.
I have fully functioning cameras for over 80 years and the pictures are really good quality.
Separately, this is how you quickly learn to capture the moment and make sense of each shot. However, you’re limited to 9, 12, 24 or 36 frames, which makes you think, not just push the trigger!
Really…80 years is a long time. How did you manage to keep them working till now
Amazing how advanced technology has become.
true… these thoughts can leave us mesmerized sometimes
Some photographers will still not use digital cameras on the grounds that the quality is not as good as can be obtained on roll-film.
I will not agree to this. The digital ones are always far better.
That depends on what you are doing. I was at a wedding where the chief photographer invited the guests to make contributions to the official wedding album, but only if they did not use digital. He was a professional who knew what he was talking about.
