Introduction to photography

Bernard

The first camera was based on the law of the physical world. You basically had a very dark room with a covered widow . On the window was a small hole , letting light pass through, which formed the inverted outside image on the wall.

The very First

The addition of a convex lens and mirror improved ease of use and picture quality.16th century

Johannes Kelper, a German astronomer, gave the early camera its name, and upgraded the dark room to a portable tent. Early 17th century

Camera Obscura

Frenchman Joseph Nicephore Niepce successfully made the first picture using a polished pewter plate that had been made light sensitive with bitumen of Judea. The picture took 8-10h of exposure in the sun, after which the unexposed parts of the plate were dissolved in the oil of turpentine. Joseph then continued his experiments using the camera obscura, and was able to create the first photograph that did not fade.

1826

Heliography

Used copper plates coated in silver Iodine as film.

Used fumes from warmed mercury to develop pictures

Took the first picture of a human because the light exposure time was so much shorter than heliography’s.

1839, the Daguerreotype camera was revealed to the world.
