Wow! Thanks for the participation everybody! I never thought I'd get so many great shots out of a thread like this. Well done. I guess I should go dig up some more. I'm not sure how to phrase this question so I'll just blunder into it... I know that we can still take black and white pictures of things even today BUT, it's not really typical. About what time frame did the changeover from black and white to color occur?
Googled...
The first real color picture was taken in 1861 by a guy named James Ckerk Maxwell. But a color plate was introduced in 1907. In 1936, Kodachrome was the first multilayered color film. During WWII, color pictures were valuable, so all color pictures were classified. In 1960, Poloroid developes(no pun intended) instant color film and Kodak releases the Kodak Instamatic.Thats probably about the time that black and white was starting to get replaced by color. But, I remember those color slides, probably taken with a Kodak .Though, I have seen color slides of pics taken earler than 1960. Of course, except for those "One Time Use Cameras", film is being replaced by digital today.
