Niépce create the world's oldest surviving product of a photographic process: a print made from a photoengraved printing plate in 1825. In 1826 or 1827. The oldest surviving photograph of a real-world scene. Among Niépce's other inventions was the Pyréolophore, the world's first internal combustion engine, which he conceived, created, and developed with his older brother Claude.]]> 2016-09-30 12:50:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jpaulyt00/pnuvrrpf0ct/wish/127504246 jpaulyt00 https://padlet.com/jpaulyt00/pnuvrrpf0ct/wish/127506487 2016-09-30 12:58:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jpaulyt00/pnuvrrpf0ct/wish/127506487 Camera obscura  jpaulyt00 https://padlet.com/jpaulyt00/pnuvrrpf0ct/wish/127509827 Camera obscura (Latin for "dark room"), sometimes referred to as "pinhole image", is the natural optical phenomenon that occurs when an image of a scene at the other side of a screen (or for instance a wall) is projected through a small hole in that screen as an inverted image (left to right and upside down) on a surface opposite to the opening. The surroundings of the projected image have to be relatively dark for the image to be clear, so many historical experiments were done in literally dark rooms.]]> 2016-09-30 13:08:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jpaulyt00/pnuvrrpf0ct/wish/127509827 jpaulyt00 https://padlet.com/jpaulyt00/pnuvrrpf0ct/wish/127510203 Photography is the science, art, application and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film.]]> 2016-09-30 13:09:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jpaulyt00/pnuvrrpf0ct/wish/127510203 Thomas Wedgwood jpaulyt00 https://padlet.com/jpaulyt00/pnuvrrpf0ct/wish/127511019 Thomas Wedgwood (14 May 1771 – 10 July 1805), son of Josiah Wedgwood, the potter, is most widely known as an early experimenter in the field of photography.

He is the first person known to have thought of creating permanent pictures by capturingcamera images on material coated with a light-sensitive chemical. His practical experiments yielded only shadow image photograms that were not light-fast, but his conceptual breakthrough and partial success have led some historians to call him "the first photographer".]]> 2016-09-30 13:11:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jpaulyt00/pnuvrrpf0ct/wish/127511019 Daguerreotype Process jpaulyt00 https://padlet.com/jpaulyt00/pnuvrrpf0ct/wish/127811906 Daguerreotype (French: daguerréotype) process, ordaguerreotypy, was the first publicly announced photographic process, and for nearly twenty years, it was the one most commonly used. It was invented by Louis-Jaques-Mandé Daguerre and introduced worldwide in 1839.[4][5][6] By 1860, new processes which were less expensive and produced more easily viewed images had almost completely replaced it. During the past few decades, there has been a small-scale revival of daguerreotypy among photographers interested in making artistic use of early photographic processes.]]> 2016-10-03 09:17:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jpaulyt00/pnuvrrpf0ct/wish/127811906 The Salt Print jpaulyt00 https://padlet.com/jpaulyt00/pnuvrrpf0ct/wish/127812474 The salt print was the dominant paper-based photographic process for producing positive prints during the period from 1839 through approximately 1860.

The salted paper technique was created in the mid-1830s by English scientist and inventor Henry Fox Talbot. He made what he called "sensitive paper" for "photogenic drawing" by wetting a sheet of writing paper with a weak solution of ordinary table salt (sodium chloride), blotting and drying it, then brushing one side with a strong solution of silver nitrate. This produced a tenacious coating of silver chloride in an especially light-sensitive chemical condition. The paper darkened where it was exposed to light. When the darkening was judged to be sufficient, the exposure was ended and the result was stabilized by applying a strong solution of salt, which altered the chemical balance and made the paper only slightly sensitive to additional exposure. In 1839, washing with a solution of sodium thiosulfate ("hypo") was found to be the most effective way to make the results truly light-fast.

After efforts to interest private investors proved fruitless, Daguerre went public with his invention in 1839. At a joint meeting of the French Academy of Sciences and the Académie des Beaux Arts on 7 January of that year, the invention was announced and described in general terms, but all specific details were withheld. ]]> 2016-10-03 09:47:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jpaulyt00/pnuvrrpf0ct/wish/127816891 Negative (photography) jpaulyt00 https://padlet.com/jpaulyt00/pnuvrrpf0ct/wish/127817675 In photography, a negative is an image, usually on a strip or sheet of transparent plastic film, in which the lightest areas of the photographed subject appear darkest and the darkest areas appear lightest. This reversed order occurs because of the extremely light-sensitive chemicals a camera film must use to capture an image quickly enough for ordinary picture-taking, which are darkened, rather than bleached, by exposure to light and subsequentphotographic processing.]]> 2016-10-03 09:51:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jpaulyt00/pnuvrrpf0ct/wish/127817675 About William Henry Fox Talbot  jpaulyt00 https://padlet.com/jpaulyt00/pnuvrrpf0ct/wish/127819328 William Henry Fox Talbot (11 February 1800 – 17 September 1877) was a British scientist, inventor and photography pioneer who invented the salted paper and calotype processes, precursors to photographic processes of the later 19th and 20th centuries. His work in the 1840s on photomechanical reproduction led to the creation of the photoglyphic engraving process, the precursor to photogravure. He was the holder of a controversial patent which affected the early development of commercial photography in Britain. He was also a noted photographer who contributed to the development of photography as an artistic medium. He published The Pencil of Nature (1844–46), which was illustrated with original salted paper prints from his calotype negatives, and made some important early photographs of Oxford, Paris, Reading, and York.]]> 2016-10-03 10:00:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jpaulyt00/pnuvrrpf0ct/wish/127819328 Black and White images jpaulyt00 https://padlet.com/jpaulyt00/pnuvrrpf0ct/wish/127819770
Black and white, often abbreviated B/W or B&W, and hyphenated black-and-white when used as an adjective, is any of several monochrome forms in visual arts.

Black-and-white images are not usually starkly contrasted black and white. They combine black and white in a continuum producing a range of shades of gray. Further, many monochrome prints in still photography, especially those produced earlier in its development, were in sepia (mainly for archival stability), which yielded richer, subtler shading than reproductions in plain black-and-white.

First, "iodised paper" was made by brushing one side of a sheet of high-quality writing paper with a solution of silver nitrate, drying it, dipping it in a solution of potassium iodide, then drying it again. At this stage, the balance of the chemicals was such that the paper was practically insensitive to light and could be stored indefinitely. When wanted for use, the side initially brushed with silver nitrate was now brushed with a "gallo-nitrate of silver" solution consisting of silver nitrate, acetic acid and gallic acid, then lightly blotted and exposed in the camera. Development was effected by brushing on more of the "gallo-nitrate of silver" solution while gently warming the paper. When development was complete, the calotype was rinsed, blotted, then either stabilized by washing it in a solution of potassium bromide, which converted the remaining silver iodide into silver bromide in a condition such that it would only slightly discolour when exposed to light, or "fixed" in a hot solution of sodium thiosulphate, then known as hyposulphite of sodaand commonly called "hypo", which dissolved the silver iodide and allowed it to be entirely washed out, leaving only the silver particles of the developed image and making the calotype completely insensitive to light.]]> 2016-10-03 10:14:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jpaulyt00/pnuvrrpf0ct/wish/127822053 History of Canon  jpaulyt00 https://padlet.com/jpaulyt00/pnuvrrpf0ct/wish/127822566
