PHOTOGRAPHY TIMELINE
- 1727-Johann Heinrich Schulze discovered that silver nitrate darkened upon exposure to light.
- 1794-First Panorama opens, the forerunner of the movie house invented by Robert Barker.
- 1814-Joseph Niepce achieves first photographic image with camera obscure - however, the image required eight hours of light exposure and later faded.
- 1837-Louis Daguerre's first daguerreotype-the first image that was fixed and did not fade and needed under thirty minutes of light exposure.
- 1841-William Henry Talbot patents the calotype process -- the first negative-positive process making possible the first multiple copies.
- 1913/1914-First 35mm still camera developed.
- 1927-General Electric invents the modern flash bulb.
- 1932-First light meter with photoelectric cell introduced.
- 1935-Eastman Kodak markets Kodachrome film.
- 1963-Polaroid introduces instant color film.
- 1968-Photograph of the Earth from the moon.
- 1973-Polaroid introduces one-step instant photography with the SX-70 camera
- 1985-Pixar introduces digital imaging processor.
- 1990-Eastman Kodak announces Photo CD as a digital image storage medium.
CAMERA OBSCURA -(1660-1670) a darkened boxlike device in which images of external objects,received through an aperture, as with a convex lens, are exhibited in their natural colors on a surface arranged to receive them: used for sketching, exhibition purposes, etc.
DAGUERREOTYPE- an obsolete photographic process, invented in 1839, in which a picture made on a silver surface sensitized with iodine which was exposed to mercury vapour.
TALBOT TYPE- an early negative-positive photographic process, patented by WilliamHenry Talbot in 1841, in which a paper negative is produced and then used to make a positive contact print in sunlight.
