Unit 9 photography timeline
- 1. Unit 9: Photography Timeline
- 2. 1727 - The discovery that silver nitrate changes Johann Heinrich Schulz discovered that a substance called silver nitrate would change colour when exposed to light. This paved the way for the first pictures to be taken and processed.
- 3. 1814 - The camera obscura is developed Joseph Niepce developed the camera obscura and took the first photo with it. It wasn't ideal, though, because it took 8 hours of light exposure to make a picture, and the picture faded with time.
- 4. 1837 - The Daguerreotype was invented Louis Daguerre invented a new way to take pictures. It only needed 30 minutes of light exposure, and the image didn't fade with time. Louis Daguerre devised the daguerreotype, the first successful form of permanent photography.
- 5. 1841 - Making multiple copies possible William Henry Talbot developed the c. This made it possible to make multiple copies of the same picture. With the negative image, Fox Talbot realised he could repeat the process of printing from the negative. Consequently, his process could make any number of positive prints, unlike the Daguerreotypes. He called this the 'calotype' and patented the process in 1841. The following year was rewarded with a medal from the Royal Society for his work.
- 6. 1851 - Taking pictures gets easier Taking pictures gets easier With the new Collodion process, cameras only needed a few seconds of light exposure to make a picture. The collodion process is an early photographic process, invented by Frederick Scott Archer. It was introduced in the 1850s and by the end of that decade it had almost entirely replaced the first practical photographic process, the daguerreotype.
- 7. 1871 - Film is made easier to handle Up until this time pictures had to be developed immediately after being taken. Richard Leach Maddox invented the gelatin dry plate silver bromide process, which made it possible to take a picture and develop it later.
- 8. 1888 - The invention of the roll-film camera George Eastman invented the first roll-film camera.
- 9. 1948 - The Polaroid camera is marketed The Polaroid allowed people to take a photo and have it developed immediately, right from the camera.
- 10. 1963 - Colored film is introduced Polaroid came out with the first colored film.
- 11. 1980 - The first consumer camcorder is released Sony put out the first consumer camcorder, allowing people to record their memories in real time.
- 12. 1984 -The first digital camera is marketed Canon put out the first digital camera for the public, which was later improved by Pixar.
- 13. 1990 - The first camera phones (1990's) The camera phone technology was first used in Japan, but it quickly spread around the world.
- 14. 2001 - The Easy Share camera comes into play Kodak put out their Easy Share digital camera, which made it easy to snap pictures and download them to the computer.
