Digital photography is photography that uses digital cameras to capture

images. Digital cameras don’t have film like standard cameras but use
photosensitive sensors which convert intensity of the light into electric
impulses that are then store them in digital memory devices as RGB color
space or as raw data. Steven Sasson invented the first self-contained
digital camera at Eastman Kodak in 1975. It weighed 8 pounds (3.6 kg)
and had only 100 × 100 resolution (0.01 megapixels). The image was
recorded onto a cassette tape and this process took 23 seconds. His
camera took images in black-and-white

What is the difference between a black and white photograph
made in 1960 and a grey-scaled photograph made in 2010?
Explain your answer and give an example of each.

A black and white photo is shot in two colours, black and white. Greyscale photos have the
ability to use every shade between white and black creating many different shades of grey in
a photo.

The difference nowadays is that our black and white photos are most commonly a filter
changing all colours to either black or white, While in 1960 it would have been shot in native
black and white.
