The first photographic process — heliography — was invented around 1824 by Nicéphore Niépce. Images were obtained with bitumen of Judea spread on a silver plate after an exposure time of several days.
In 1829, Niépce associated Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre to his research.
In 1832, they put the last touches, using a residue of lavender oil distillation, by means of a second process producing images in a one day exposure time.

A natural phenomenon, known as camera obscura or pinhole image, can project a (reversed) image through a small opening onto an opposite surface. This principle may have been known and used in prehistoric times. The earliest known written record of the camera obscura is to be found in Chinese writings called Mozi, dated to the 4th century BCE. Until the 16th century the camera obscura was mainly used to study optics and astronomy, especially to safely watch solar eclipses without damaging the eyes. In the later half of the 16th century some technical improvements were developed: a (biconvex) lens in the opening (first described by Gerolamo Cardano in 1550) and a diaphragm restricting the aperture (Daniel Barbaro in 1568) gave a brighter and sharper image. In 1558 Giambattista della Porta advised using the camera obscura as a drawing aid in his popular and influential books. Della Porta's advice was widely adopted by artists and since the 17th century portable versions of the camera obscura were commonly used - first as a tent, later as boxes. The box type camera obscura was the basis for the earliest photographic cameras when photography was developed in the early 19th century.]]> 2018-10-01 11:20:23 UTC https://padlet.com/coolbreezeblows/6ui60s2p5fzw/wish/287529166 coolbreezeblows https://padlet.com/coolbreezeblows/6ui60s2p5fzw/wish/287529364 In 1833, Niépce died, and Daguerre invented, in 1838, on his own the daguerreotype, the first process including a development stage. A silver plate coated with a very thin silver iodide layer was exposed in a camera obscura, then exposed to mercury vapors that induced the apparition of the invisible latent image that had been formed during the exposure to light. This development was in fact such an amplification of the effect of light that the exposure time was hardly more than 30 minutes. Fixing was done by immersing the plate in sea salted water.]]> 2018-10-01 11:21:04 UTC https://padlet.com/coolbreezeblows/6ui60s2p5fzw/wish/287529364 coolbreezeblows https://padlet.com/coolbreezeblows/6ui60s2p5fzw/wish/287529663
The history of photography has roots in remote antiquity with the discovery of two critical principles, that of the camera obscura image projection and the fact that some substances are visibly altered by exposure to light, as discovered by observation. Apart from a very uncertain process used on the Turin Shroud there are no artifacts or descriptions that indicate that anyone even imagined capturing images with light sensitive materials before the 18th century. Around 1717 Johann Heinrich Schulze captured cut-out letters on a bottle of a light-sensitive slurry, but he apparently never thought of making the results durable. Around 1800 Thomas Wedgwood made the first reliably documented, although unsuccessful attempt at capturing camera images in permanent form. His experiments did produce detailed photograms, but Wedgwood and his associate Humphry Davy found no way to fix these images.


In the mid-1820s, Nicéphore Niépce first managed to fix an image that was captured with a camera, but at least eight hours or even several days of exposure in the camera were required and the earliest results were very crude. Niépce's associate Louis Daguerre went on to develop the daguerreotype process, the first publicly announced and commercially viable photographic process. The daguerreotype required only minutes of exposure in the camera, and produced clear, finely detailed results. The details were introduced as a gift to the world in 1839, a date generally accepted as the birth year of practical photography.[1][2] The metal-based daguerreotype process soon had some competition from the paper-based calotype negative and salt print processes invented by William Henry Fox Talbot. Subsequent innovations made photography easier and more versatile. New materials reduced the required camera exposure time from minutes to seconds, and eventually to a small fraction of a second; new photographic media were more economical, sensitive or convenient, including roll films for casual use by amateurs. In the mid-20th century, developments made it possible for amateurs to take pictures in natural color as well as in black-and-white.


The commercial introduction of computer-based electronic digital cameras in the 1990s soon revolutionized photography. During the first decade of the 21st century, traditional film-based photochemical methods were increasingly marginalized as the practical advantages of the new technology became widely appreciated and the image quality of moderately priced digital cameras was continually improved. Especially since cameras became a standard feature on smartphones, taking pictures (and instantly publishing them online) has become an ubiquitous everyday practice around the world.

  • 1961: Eugene F. Lally of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory began working on a way to use a mosaic photo sensor to capture digital images.

  • 1969: Was particularly important in the history of digital photography because George Smith and Willard Boyle of Bell Laboratories developed the CCD (charge-coupled-device) and demonstrated it on October 17, 1969. This CCD image sensor is the heart the digital camera development because it is the solid-state device that converts light into electric signals. This major breakthrough in 1969 provided the key piece of technology to begin the digital photography revolution. CCD image sensors are still widely used today. While today’s CCD image sensors often have 12-14 megapixels the first one in 1969 was only 100 x 100 pixels. From 1969 to 1978 CCD technology continued to be developed and in 1978 Bell Laboratories successfully created an image sensor with 500 x 500 pixel array.

  • 1970: George Smith and Willard Boyle of Bell Laboratories built the first solid-state video camera.

  • 1972: A Texas Instrument employee, Willis Adcock patented a film-less camera however the technology was still not available to make it a viable concept.

  • 1973: Fairchild Imaging produced the first commercial CCD imager. This 10,000 pixel sensor (100 x 100 pixels) would become the foundation for the rapidly developing world of digital imaging.

  • 1975: Eastman Kodak engineer Steven Sasson patented a prototype digital camera using the recently invented Fairchild CCD image sensor and a lens from a Kodak movie camera. This camera was about the size of a large toaster and weighed almost nine pounds. The black and white digital image was stored on a cassette tape and in order to view the images the Kodak engineers had to develop a special screen. It was able to capture a .01 megapixel image (10,000 pixels) and took 23 seconds to record an image to the tape.

  • 1975: Bell Laboratories demonstrated the first CCD video camera with enough resolution to use for broadcast television. The CCD technology first developed by Bell Labs is found in all kinds of digital imaging devices today, including High-Definition television and video cameras. Other common technology that use CCD imagers are: web cameras, medical scopes, fax machines, copy machines, image scanners, digital cameras and bar code readers.

  • 1975: Another milestone in the history of digital photography was when Bryce Bayer invented the Bayer Color Filter Array that enabled a single CCD or CMOS image sensor to capture color images. Without this filter capturing color images would require three separate sensors attached to a color beam splitter which would be both large and expensive. Bayer Color Filter Arrays are used in almost every digital camera made today.

  • 1977: Konica introduces the point-and-shoot Konica C35 AF the first mass-produced camera with autofocus.

  • 1978: Leica demonstrates the first SLR with fully operational autofocus at the Photokina photography show.

  • 1981: The first true working digital camera was built by the University of Calgary Canada ASI Science Team. Their All-Sky camera was designed to photograph auroras and used one of the 100 x 100 pixel Fairchild CCD image sensors.

  • 1981: Sony Electronics introduced the Mavica (Magnetic Video Camera), a video camera which recorded images on a floppy disk. This early electronic camera had a resolution of 720,000 pixels (.72 megapixels) and was able to store up to 50 images on a single 2.0” video floppy disk. Described as having beginning “a new era in photography” the Sony Mavica was a single lens reflex camera with three interchangeable lenses capable of capturing images to the floppy disk and displaying them back on a TV. While an important milestone in the history of digital photography this was essentially a video camera that took still images and not a true digital camera. Nevertheless the development of this camera is a very important event along the digital photography timeline.

  • 1981: The Pentax ME-F becomes the first autofocus 35mm SLR. It uses in body focus sensor coupled with a motorized lens.

  • 1985: Fuji makes the ES-1 a SVC (still video camera) with a 640 x480 pixel CCD imager. This camera was an SLR with a 50-150mm manual zoom.


  • 1985: Minolta releases the Minolta Maxxum 7000 the first 35mm This camera as well as all Minolota AF SLR's to follow incorporated both the autofocus sensor and the drive motor in the camera body.

  • 1986: Canon began manufacturing and distributing digital cameras with the release of the RC-701 a SVC (still video camera) that had four interchangeable lenses and sold for about $3,000.

  • 1986: Kodak introduced a 1.4 megapixel sensor making it the first megapixel sensor small enough to fit in a handheld camera. This sensor was used in the Videk Megaplus camera designed for scientific and industrial use. These cameras sold between $10,000 and $40,000 and were essentially the first camera with enough resolution to produce a 5x7 photo quality print.

  • 1988: Fuji developed the DS-1P which is considered to be the first fully digital consumer camera to be sold. This camera recorded images digitally on a 16MB internal memory card and had 16mm F/5.6 lens with shutter speeds from 1/60/ to 1/200 of a second.Nikon_D90Nikon_D90

  • 1988: Sony introduces the MVC-C1 the first consumer model of their MAVICA line of electronic still video cameras. This MAVICA was described as “a still video camera that records pictures magnetically without the use of film.” Like other MAVICA models this was not a true digital camera but was a very important step in the evolution of digital cameras.

  • 1988: Digital Darkroom was released becoming the first image editing software for the Macintosh computer. 1988 saw another key event in the history of digital photography when the first JPEG and MPEG standards were set. These standards set in place a universal format which allowed images (JPEG) and video (MPEG) to be stored in a compressed format.

    Shutter speed exists because of something known as your camera shutter – which, simply put, is a curtain in front of the camera sensor that stays closed until the camera fires. When the camera fires, the shutter opens and fully exposes the camera sensor to the light that has passed through your lens. After the sensor is done collecting the light, the shutter closes immediately, stopping the light from hitting the sensor. The button that fires the camera is also called “shutter” or “shutter button,” because it triggers the shutter to open and close.



    In photography and digital photography the shutter speed is the unit of measurement which determines how long shutter remains open as the picture is taken. The slower the shutter speed, the longer the exposure time. The shutter speed and aperture together control the total amount of light reaching the sensor.]]>     2018-10-11 12:03:32 UTC https://padlet.com/coolbreezeblows/6ui60s2p5fzw/wish/291666046     coolbreezeblows https://padlet.com/coolbreezeblows/6ui60s2p5fzw/wish/291666160 Shutter speed can have a dramatic impact on the appearance and quality of photographs, especially when moving objects are involved. ...

The shutter speed is also principally responsible for controlling the amount of blur in a picture.

    What are ISO camera settings and what does ISO mean? ISO stands forInternational Standards Organisation. It refers to the industry norm for sensitivity of emulsion based film, with: 100 ISO being not so sensitive (and the standard ISO used by most people) to: 1600 ISO which is extremely sensitive to light.



    ISO in Digital Photography. In Digital Photography ISO measures the sensitivity of the image sensor. The same principles apply as in film photography – the lower the number the less sensitive your camera is to light and the finer the grain.
