Howzabout this, everyone: the first ever photo you remember taking, ever. This would likely mean a few scanned-in entries, and yeah I know there is no way to verify that it was someone's first ever pic. Unless there is a time/date stamp in the corner.
Still, I think it would be fun. And yes, I do have the shots from the first ever shoot I remember doing. Took my little Kodak 110 to the stable one Saturday morning and took pictures of all my favourite horses and ponies. I was probably 10 at the time. |

| I can't think of what would be my first ever photo, but I still like the idea. |

Unfortunately, I don't have any of my old photographs.

I still have a few from about 43 years ago. I will see what I can find in the next few days. I also still have a few from the first roll of film from my first SLR in 1976. I think that I copied them to digital, so if I can find that I will post it too.

But you could probably scan it, or if need be take a photo of the photo. Just use a tripod and you'll be fine.
But that I am hoping is also part of the idea...I like extreme POVs, and the very first photo I ever remember taking reflects this! |

Sounds like a great side challenge... I remember the film side challenge, and this could be something similar to that, with a bit more emphasis on the nostalgic and less on the experimental.
ETA: Some images from when digital cameras were just coming out would be cool too, if that's what you were using when you were first starting out.

I remember have a kodak 126 instamatic when I was 8-9 yrs old. We were pretty poor and film was hard to come by....developing the pics could take MONTHS ! However, I remember shooting action shots...my little bro jumping off the ground etc.
One shot, I guess my first portrait was of my Aunt. I think I remember seeing it somewhere in the past 10 yrs (shot was taken in '71-'72). My aunt was leaving to go catch the bus and I stopped her. If I remember, it was pretty good ! |

Hmmm, maybe I can did up some photos when I visit the parental manse this summer. I'm not sure about absolute first photo, but I remember my first camera (also an Instamatic) and shooting my first roll of film in the side yard. I shot the whole roll very quickly, possibly in one afternoon. I remember my surprise when my mom told me not to waste film because there were costs to develop the film, too!

| Yeah, it wasn't long before my allowance began going more and more towards getting film developed (and getting those cheap blue plastic 4x6 folders) from Black's! |

I took this in High school. The scan turned out slightly different from the way the pic actually looks. I also developed this one.

Mine would be with a Brownie ... more than 50 years ago. In those days ... we barely had film. Photoshop wasn't even a gleam in Thomas Knoll's eye. In fact, Thomas Knoll wasn't even a gleam in his parents' eyes. |

I might be able to find a shot or two that might or might not be the first I ever took. I can't remember for sure. Like  snaffles most of my early efforts were of horses - my father used to grumble about me 'wasting' film on them. |

| I have the neg but not anything to scan it with right now..... A 127 neg of a dog on a motor bike from probably 1974 I would guess (might be 75). It's pretty rough around the edges and not exactly a well exposed crisp image :-) but hey... I have pretty much every neg I have ever taken (not sure why but always collected then in a tin box) - not sure what to do with 2kg of 110 negs but hey I have them. |

I took this about 3 years ago... This is the photo I took that got me hooked if that counts. If only I was as lucky now as I was then! :D
I took this with my mothers little film camera that sadly broke about 24 hours after this shot was taken, (we had a bit of a spill at dinner the next night).

I couldn't find the horse shots that I remember so well, but this shot of my brother, Roger, and our cocker spaniel, Peter, is from the same era (about 1962). It was in an album, so I'm not sure why it is so badly scratched and cracked.
 After I did the best I could at restoration. Not exactly tack sharp but better than all scratched. |
