Here are some differences between analog and digital photography. We are going to mention three of them below:

1. Digital photography generates immediately a visible photo while Analog photography demands the photographs to develop chemically ( chemical process ).

2. For Digital photography, with having a digital camera, all we need is a storage card to record and keep the pictures but in contrast, analog cameras utilize physical films to capture the photos.

 3. A good darkroom photo lab will easily scan the film photos but in digital photography, editing with the make use of computers and photo editing software is the main need.

He helped people to take photos easier. In fact, in a way more convenient and as a consequence photography has become accessible to the public.

Eastman Kodak believed that goods should possess their own identity, without any association with anything else or any attachment. He launched the first Kodak camera in 1888. A few years later, he changed the company name to Eastman Kodak. In 1900, Eastman introduced the first Brownie camera with the target on children. The Brownie facilitated the photography for amateurs and let the middle-class ones take their desired snapshots.

What about analog photography in the present time? Are we still experiencing it?

Nowadays different smartphone applications and computer software have put effort to emulate the effects. They introduced different filters and layers to produce the analog pictures. These developers make the photography incident different from the recent one. As the matter of fact, nothing is more deliberate than the original and real ones.

Beyond shadow of a doubt, for a spectacular analog picture, photographers must concentrate on the object and pay attention more to take a good picture. For example, the rolls of 35mm film are able to capture a limited number of images with every shot counts. In addition, artistic effects could be produced in analog photography naturally. For instance, light leaks overexposures, vignettes that are perfectly more authentic and attractive ones. Although there are a lot of benefits for digital photo taking, experiencing analog photography has some wonderful features as well.
