idea of camera made
(dste not exact) The earliest photographs were not taken with Alexander Wolcott's invention. Joseph Nicephore Niepce used a sliding wooden box to take photographs in 1826. Charles and Vincent Chevalier in Paris created this early predecessor of Mr. Wolcott's invention. This sliding box could capture images by using a mixture of silver and chalk exposed under a light source. Johann Heinrich Schultz discovered this silver and chalk method in 1724. -
its coming into view...
(date not exact) Louis Jacque Daguerre and Joseph Nicephore Niepce discovered the daguerreotype process in 1836. Daguerreotypes are photos created using a particular photographic method. Coating a copper plate with silver, then treating it with iodine vapor created daguerreotype photos. This made the plate sensitive to light. After the photo was taken, exposing it to mercury vapor and ordinary table salt developed the image. -
somec editting needs to be done
Before Mr. Wolcott's invention, there were primitive cameras that could capture images. Problems ranged from images that faded to the length of time it took for the images to develop. The following are some of the inventions that led to the eventual creation of Mr. Wolcott's 1840 camera. -
the camera is starting to come
The first camera invented was made by Alexander Wolcott. His camera design was patented on May 8, 1840. His invention made it possible for candid photos to be taken and not fade away with time. Mr. Wolcott also has the distinction of opening the earliest photography shop (known as a daguerran parlor) in New York. -
its getting there
(date not exact) Henry Fox Talbot discovered the calotype process in 1841. The calotype photo used paper coated with silver iodide. After the paper was exposed to a light source, excess silver iodide is washed away when the pure silver is oxidized with an application of gallo-nitrate. The resulting silver oxide is black, making the image visible. -
later in 1841 it is created
The first camera invented by Mr. Wolcott in 1841 received U.S. patent number 1,582. This camera could take candid photos and Mr. Wolcott used the daguerreotype process to reproduce the images on paper. It incorporated all of the previous discoveries made with regards to the creation of a box that uses light to reflect images and the development of images on paper. -
its getting better
Cameras and the photographic process continued to develop in rapid succession after the first camera invented. The dry plate process in 1855 made it possible for photographers to take candid photos quickly. -
more editing done
In 1885, Kodak developed paper film. -
its even better
Celluloid film followed in 1889. By the turn of the century, the Kodak Brownie camera had been invented, making it possible for the average person to take candid photos of friends and family. This ushered in a new era of photography that continually evolves, even today with digital cameras. -
ITS GETITNG BETTER AND BETTER
NEW CAMERAS ARE COMING OUT ALMOST ALL THE TIME!!! IT WILL SOON BE VERY DIFFICULT TO GRAPH ALL THE TIMES THE CAMERA UPGRADED!
