Your FIRST picture (everyone can play)

[klew]

What was the very first image snapped when you got your digital camera? I reckon some of them might be less than perfect, but if you're the type to keep every image (or at least the first one), you can post them here (with a story if you have one).

Took this at a gathering (not really a party) at a friends' house, they're playing Wii boxing. I believe I had everything on automatic settings and no flash (hence the blur, which kind of works with the controller motions) to see how it handles.

Edit to add: this is from my second camera, I may not have the first image from my first digital camera, but I think it was of my sister at the dinner table.

I don't think this is my VERY VERY VERY VERY first shot, but I do know it is one of the very very very very first shots. It was taken just after I got my camera; I'd had it for less than an hour, I guess.



That's my (now) 17 year old sister after less than her usual 13 hours of beauty sleep. lol

I don't have my very first shot with my dslr - I took a picture of all the stuff on my window sill. lol

I do have the very first one I took with my digital P&S though (I was stunned by the quality of the photo compared to my film camera!)



I can still remember my excitement over being able to see her whiskers clearly in the picture. lol

This is probably not the FIRST one i ever took, but it's one of the very first taken with my first ever digital camera, christmas day of 2005. It's a picture of my younger brother Giocanni napping on the couch and his faithful Charlie standing by... i think i may have been playing around with the B&W feature for the first time... not too shabby

btw, i'm having a little trouble with the sizing of the image, so it looks very small... it's my first dps picture post!!

I had to dig for this one... Oldest image from my "newest" camera I could find was number 144. Go figure, like filemanager above, I had an easy target!



Wow, that was 20,000 shots ago!

April 19, 2002... Canon ixus 300 [this was my first larger than 1mp digital camera!] I had a few before this, but this was my first pic when I got the ixus...

This seems to be it. It's the first on my flickr, at least. I'll check my archives...

This was the first "picture" I took when I got my D80. Evidently there is a feature that lets you take two shots on top of each other that I accidently activated when I thought I was taking two separate pictures. While the shot was an accident it is quite interesting:

Here is a link to the set.

My new camera was delivered on Nov 28, 2007 by the sweet little man in "Brown". It was a gift from my family, but my mom (pictured above) was the one who actually did the purchasing of it. She is also the one who insisted I open it before Christmas. So, I opened it, put the lens on it and pushed the button. She was my first target and she hated getting her picture taken. I think I took one or two of her a day almost for the next 5 weeks...she died on Jan 14, 2008 of cancer. Thank you for the opportunity to share all that by asking for the picture and story

I don't have the first picture anymore, In fact I don't have any pictures from the first year that I had my camera. We had a hard drive fail and they were all lost. My hubby is a computer guy, he recovers systems and saves peoples files all the time, he couldn't save my pictures.

I want to cry everytime I think about it because among those lost pictures was the day my son moved away from home for the first time. Off to college at 17. I can't even think about all the pictures that are gone. (lesson learned, now my hubby backs up my pictures for me every now and again)

I did look at the pictures that have been put on the new computer and of all things the oldest (first picture) is of the dog! I don't think I even took this one, I think my daughter did.
