             A photo can be taken, and shared in different ways, such as printed films or digitally by phone or computer.  Over time there were a variety of different cameras that required different gauges for each specific camera used.  The 35mm color film was the first to be recognized as the international standard gauge.  Today it is the most commonly used gauge for still photography and motion pictures.  

Overtime the 35mm film was modified to enhance its capabilities now including both sound and color.   Compared to black and white films, color films were more real life to viewers’ eyes.   Color film has allowed people to visualize the original image captured in a more direct way.   Our world is full of color and color film allowed us to capture this.  Different colors in a photograph can also help the center of your focus to stand out against its background versus black and white film, producing different shades which can tend to blend together.  

Today’s technology now allows for photographs to be captured in a more convenient way; by disposable cameras, digital cameras and cell phones.  This allows photographers to capture images on the go.  My experience with photography is you usually have to capture the moment as soon as it arises because it doesn’t last long.  Personally, I always carry my Iphone and it takes great pictures and also allows me to view these images again, without having to pay for film printouts.  Sharing photos by sending digital images using the computer or my phone is also more convenient and it is free, versus developing pictures and then printing extra copies to  share.
