He viewed the crescent shape of a partially eclipsed sun projected on the ground through the holes in a sieve and through the gaps between the leaves of a plane tree.In the 4th century, Greek scholar Theon of Alexandria observed that "candlelight passing through a pinhole will create an illuminated spot on a screen that is directly in line with the aperture and the center of the candle." -
Niepce succeeded in taking the first permanent photograph in the history of photography, a method he called "solar etching". Due to the long exposure, traces of sunlight were left on both sides, and this is believed to be the world's first photo "Outside the Window", which is preserved in a French museum. Niepce, who called his method "solar etching," predated Daguerre photography by more than a decade. -
1839-1841
In just two years, two completely different camera technologies have been invented successively.
Daguerreotype and The negative-positive process -
The wet-collodion process is an early photographic technique invented by Englishman Frederick Scott Archer in 1851. The wet collodion process used in the darkroom with piece of glass, and collodion. Then made light-sensitive with further chemicals. Before the plate could dry, placed it in the camera and exposed.
-
George Eastman invented a dry, transparent, flexible photographic film roll. The film was designed for use in his newly designed Kodak cameras. This camera and film combination is easy to operate and can be used by anyone.
-
The Leica 1(A) was the first commercially available 35mm camera. The Leica, designed by Oscar Barnack, was sold to the public in 1925. -
The first color cinematography was to use the additive color system. These early systems used black and white film to capture and project two or more component images through different color filters. In 1935, Kodachrome was launched, and in 1936, Agfacolor was launched. They are mainly used for amateur home movies and "slideshows". -
An instant camera is a camera that uses auto-developing film to produce a chemically developed photo shortly after the photo is taken. When a photo is taken, a "negative" is rolled up in front of the camera lens and stays there for a moment. When a photo is taken, the camera's shutter opens, letting in light patterns that reflect the captured image. Polaroid was the first to patent a consumer-friendly instant camera and film, and other manufacturers followed suit. -
Agfa Automatic 66 is the first aperture priority camera his the market. The Automatic 66 camera was manufactured by the Agfa company in Munich German in circa 1956. This camera featured a coupled rangefinder and built-in selenium light meter. It also featured a film speed selector and a meter, which includes an indicator to prevent over or under exposures in the auto mode. -
Canon AF, the world's first autofocus camera prototype. it's introduced at the Photokina trade show in Germany. -
The transition of photography from an analog medium that relied on chemically developed photosensitive emulsions to one that used digital technology for image capture and storage began in the late 1980s, with the introduction of the first consumer digital cameras and the first version of the 1990s. Adobe Photoshop. -
Until 2001, the 9/11 terrorist attacks - mostly filmed with film cameras. But by the end of 2010, nearly all newspapers and magazines had transitioned to digital workflows, and photographers had begun using professional digital cameras, because digital images could be transferred and edited faster. -
