Tracing the Roots of Photography London
Are you a
photographer or you aspiring to be one? These days, it's rather easy to back
your technical skills with research. The Internet can make many things happen
for you. You can even use it to connect to some of the country's most famous
photographers. You can even be very specific when searching for information.
For example, if you're planning to learn wedding photography, you can simply
type in the search box keywords such as " Portland wedding photographers
". But before you go too technical with your search, you may want to know
just how or where this hobby of yours, which you may even be considering to do
professionally, originated.
You probably think you know arab
wedding photography inside out, but did you ever have an idea how it came
about? The word, photography, was derived from the Greek words photos, meaning
"light" and graphein meaning "to draw". It was first used
by a scientist named Sir John F. W. Herschel in 1839. In the 19th century, an
Arab scientist by the name of Ibn al-Haithem, known in the west as Alhazen and
considered father of modern optics, attempted to discover the rate of light and
how it passed through objects. He eventually invented the very first pinhole
camera, also known as the camera obscura, with an explanation on why the images
were upside down. The first photographic image made with a camera obscura was
by Frenchman Joseph Nicephore Niepce on a summer day in 1827. Niepce's
heliographs were the prototype for the modern photograph that was driven by
letting light draw the picture.
Another Frenchman, Louise Daguerre, soon experimented on capturing an image,
but it took him another dozen year before he was able to reduce the exposure
time to less than half a minute and keep the image from disappearing. For the
birth of modern photography In 1829, Louise Daguerre formed a partnership with
Joseph Nicephore Niepce to improve the process Joseph had developed. After a
long year of experimentation and Niepce's death in the year 1839, Daguerre
developed an easier and more effective way of photography and named it after
him - daguerreotype.
