Have you ever gotten pictures developed? Or all your pictures digital?

It's a bit late but my Halloween pics finally got developed!

The first digital cameras started gaining popularity in the 1990s when I was almost 40, and camera phones came out around 20 years ago. I've taken lots of digital photos since then and stored them on my laptop. But before then, I took tons photos on film.

I always took a camera when backpacking or vacationing. I have a cabinet full of slides and negatives. Sometimes I used a 110 camera and sometimes a small 35mm. In 1989, I bought a good camera and lens when I went to Europe for a month.

I met my wife in 1994. She's a photographer, among other things. She specialized in portraits but also did very creative things with still lifes, landscapes and architecture. I learned a lot from her. For instance, professional photographers get their film developed by professional photo labs who can do things like dodging and burning, cropping, adjusting exposure, etc., things that amateurs never heard of.

I think she bought her first digital camera shortly after we got married in 1996. But there was controversy among professional photographers back then about the art of photographing with film versus digital. They felt that using film required more skill and produced superior photos.

When my wife learned Photoshop, she transitioned to digital.

All my pictures now are digital. We mostly use phones but also sometimes use our Nikon 5000.

But, yes, back in the "old" days, Id get photographs developed all the time. That was the only way. I personally didn't go digital until the mid 1990s but even then I was using film until the mid 2000s.

Frankly, I miss film. Digital is awesome but there are times when I want film.

I stopped developing pictures once I got electronic methods to store my images but my mom sometimes makes family photo books with our vacation images. She uses electronic software to make it and the images are laminated and professional book quality.

I don't trust developers. But I do have some polaroids

[God_of_Thunder]

Digital cameras didn't really become commonplace until I graduated from high school, so all of the pictures I took prior to that were developed, by necessity.

It was the only option, aside from instant Polaroids, back then.

I used to before digital cameras were invented. I remember my camera auto rewinding then taking it out, putting it into a film canister, then going to Walmart and filling out my information on the film folder packet, putting the canister into the film packet, sealing it and handing it to the film lab and waiting a week. Getting a call the pics are ready. Go down there, finding out if they were good or schitty. If crappy, refuse the bad ones and pay for the good ones 🙂👍

I grew up "old school" and have a lot of print photos & negatives.

Of course, I didn't allow myself to get left behind.

I'm very much into the digital era, too.

[CoolCatMar1]

Yes the photo on my profile is developed. From the camera. But it is the way it was since it was took. Hasn't been retouched or anything. My boyfriend took it haha

[DJB72]

I literally have a suitcase of 35mm negatives of photos from my pre-digital cameras and I still prefer chemical if I'm taking landscapes that need blowing up

[abc3643]

Well, we didn't get our first digital camera until I was 42, so, yes, I've had many of my pictures developed.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Growing up I would drop off my film to be developed & now I have a digital camera.

I used to develop my own pix. I could only do black and white but they came out good Your pictures look pretty good.

[LiamJHayden]

Digital. My grandma had thousands of regular photos and those I have had digitized, just in case. Also makes sharing them with her friends a lot easier.

[XXblack88]

I've done both. Digital cameras weren't really a thing until I was A preteen or teen.

[Ms_Facesitter]

A portrait drawing while on vacation but that's it :)

[Likes2drive]

I used to years ago but now everything is digital so if I need it printed I just go to the drugstore. I would have to send it out and takes awhile

[jamesgoldman]

Sure as a kid I had a number of disposable cameras, let's just say I wasn't Rankin

[msc545]

I have had them developed, and I have also processed my own film, selected certain negatives, and printed them using a photo enlarger.

[nawtee_me]

Both, all of my younger pics were all developed while lately they are all digital. We’re you a cheerleader or is that a costume?

[Anonymous]

In the old days, yes of course. That's the way it was. When digital came along I converted all my photographs to digital and never use analogue again.

[Stevefiveo]

Looking good. I didn't know anyone developed film anymore. I went digital about 20 years ago.

[motownplayer2000]

I don’t develop pictures unless I do them myself. It’s a waste of money, time and paper.

[HaveNoName]

"Developed" ? What exactly to you consider as "developed" ?

[Guanfei]

Some, but I hate taking pics, so I only have a few, most of them have been deleted.

[eagle1951]

oh heck yes. use to be the only way to do it

[bean2k21]
