This list of funny photography puns is a picture perfect way to spend some quality time with your photography loving family.

Whether it's camera puns, picture puns, or photo puns, there's guaranteed to be a photography pun in here to make any budding photographer laugh!

Before you get started, here are some fun facts about photography: in 1826 Nicéphore Niépce captured and fixed the first photo with a camera obscura (which means dark room), in only eight hours! The first flash photographs were taken with actual little explosions caused to light up the scene (the true photobomb!).

The first colour photograph was taken in 1861 but it wasn't until 1907 that the Lumière Brothers developed and popularised an effective way to use colour photography.

Digital photography, meaning photography without the use of physical strips of film, was developed in the middle of the twentieth century, and the first consumer digital camera was sold by Apple in 1994. It could only record eight photos, and you could not preview any of them!

Photography has come a long way since these times. The first photo published on the web was posted by Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the internet, in 1992.

Nowadays, we take more photos in the space of two minutes than the whole of humanity did in the eighteenth century!

We can even take amazing photographs with our mobile phones, reducing the need for small digital cameras to be a photography expert.

Most people don't tend to print photos anymore, as you can take them, send them and view them on a single mobile device! However, printing photos and creating a photo album can be a really cute and thoughtful gift idea to commemorate an event or a person (particularly for a photography fan) for example.

Professional photography, however, requires lots of equipment and know-how: you need different cameras, tripods, flashes, projectors and lenses. A photographer can adjust the lighting, the exposure, the contrast, the brightness, the shutter speed and many other factors to make a photo look as good as possible!

Digital cameras have dozens of settings and modes to create amazing photography.

Most cameras and phones offer the option to do panorama photography, which allows you to create a beautiful view of landscapes and your surroundings. Because it's a process that takes several seconds, the start and the end points of a panorama photograph are captured at different points in time!

Now you're an expert on all things photography, it's time for some funny photography puns and camera puns!

If you're in need of more entertainment, you should take a look at these cracking computer jokes or these airplane jokes that are miles ahead!
