The history of photography

The first permanent photograph was an image produced in 1826 by the French inventor Joseph. Nicéphore Niepce. The image was created on a zinc plate coated with asphalt Syrian. Its production required an eight-hour exposure on a sunny day. Bitumen hardens upon exposure to light. The uncured material can be washed away lavender oil, obtained in this way can be painted negative lithographic and imprinted on paper to print.

This was the first camera.

Scheme according to which the camera operates.

In 1839, Louis Jacques Daguerre, assistant Joseph discovered that exposing the silver first to iodine vapors before exposure, and then after shooting for mercury vapor, can obtain a latent image, which is negative but before calling. The image is fixed by dipping in a solution of salt.

Jacques has announced that by using silver and copper plates invented a process called daguerreotype. The French government bought the patent and immediately made it public domain.

Photos taken this method.

Many still improve the art of taking pictures, but only in 1861 was able to do a color photography. It was taken by the Scottish physicist - James Clerk Maxwell.

The first world's color photo shows a tartan ribbon. It was taken at the request of Maxwell by his assistant – Sutton'a

In Poland only in 1909 emerged color photographs. One of the most famous pictures from that period of time is a photo showing the florists on the market in Kraków.

The earliest color photos could capture only stationary objects - made of ordinary cameras sequentially through the filters in primary colors. The three resulting black-and-white negatives were used as material for color printing. Then there was the camera with translucent mirror system giving at once three such negatives, which allowed then to make images of moving objects.

Nowadays, more and more can be seen as a great role in our lives plays a photograph. Almost all of us have access to a camera, camcorder or telephone mobile, where you can take a picture, move to the internet and share it with others.
