ORIGIN OF PHOTOGRAPHY
Though I am not a professional photographer, however, the interest in it itself has brought me to this stage that today I am posting a blog of my own on this subject. There maybe instances in which I might have missed few important points on this hugely acclaimed topic, hence, I would appreciate if people who read this blog will provide their valued inputs to correct me. All inputs are widely welcomed and appreciated. And am sure will help me gain further knowledge on this vast subject.
Although no one knows for sure when a camera-type device was first discovered, the camera obscura became popular among Renaissance artists who used it to trace the image projected by light shining through a tiny hole. The word photography was first used in the year 1839 - the year the invention of the photographic process was made public. During the prior decades, a number of light-sensitive materials were tested to capture the image from the camera obscura, but the first successful permanent photograph is usually credited to Louis Daguerre. That picture, captured on a silver-coated sheet of copper, using his 'positive image' Daguerreotype process, is entitled The Artist's Studio and is dated 1837. It was fragile & difficult to reproduce. By the time the details of this process were made public, in 1839, other artists and scientists had discovered additional photographic imaging techniques. William Henry Fox Talbot's Calotype process used light-sensitive paper and produced a 'negative image' that could be used to create positive prints. By 1840, when techniques had improved and exposure times were shortened, Portrait photography became fashionable. Since that time, photography has become an important tool in many fields, with sophisticated techniques and equipment continuing to evolve.
