francis_dantuono Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 What is the first photo you're sure you took? Post here if you have it easily accessible. I may have taken pictures before this, but these are the earliest I know for sure. These pictures were taken by me in the summer of 1995 and I was about 4 1/2 years old: Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet http://i.imgur.com/a6U5spV.jpg They were taken with a Sigma Point & Shoot camera.

Charles_Webster Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I no longer have the photo, but my first photo was of the Mississippi River from an excursion riverboat in St. Louis MO, in 1956. Taken using a Brownie Six-Sixteen box camera on 616 Verichrome (ortho) film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochen_S Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 My parents in front of some weather shelter for hikers (I think). Late 70s, with my mother's Agfa 110 camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidTriplett Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 B&W Polaroid of my two younger brothers, taken with my first camera, probably a Colorpack III model, but I can't be sure. Age 9 (ish), circa 1969-70. I still have it in an album somewhere, likely in a mis-labeled moving box...o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karim Ghantous Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I don't have access to it, but my first roll of film I ever took was in 1985 in Cincinnati. The camera was a Kodak Instamatic 126. I took one frame of a sunset. My mum said that it wouldn't work. But she was wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjmurray Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Somewhere there are some photos I took when I was nine years old on a trip to California with my grandparents in 1959. There are some images of Disneyland, and Salt Lake City. I was using a Brownie Box camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethe_fisher Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 My first shots were of my grandparents' Christmas tree in either 1973 or 1974, having just received a Kodak Instamatic (age 5 or 6). I think there's a print around somewhere, but I don't have enough time to go searching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_gardner6 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Taken with a 126 Instamatic when I was about 5 or so. I don't recall what the first image was, but at some point I used the same camera to get shots at the first Star Trek convention I ever attended, including Nichelle Nichols hugging my very young cousin.

William Kahn Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 The first shots I remember taking were in 1952 at age 12. They were taken in Japan, shortly after my mother and I joined my father after he'd been rotated out of Korea. I thought the prints were gone forever, until I found some of them among my parents' papers after they passed on several years ago. Here's one of them, shot with a 127 pocket camera... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gup Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) I took my first shots with this camera in May 1963, on a trip to England to meet my relatives. I was 7 years old. The small prints still exist of London's popular tourist sites. Edited July 14, 2017 by Gup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georg_s1 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 35 years ago: I was 10 years old, got a used TLR and two rolls of Orwo NP20 for my birthday. First subject/shot was my bicycle. Have the image (a glossy print of about 9x9cm) somewhere, just not ready for display ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
