The History Of Photography Came About Belief.

The History Of Photography came about the camera obscura latin for the (dark chamber) invented by iraqi scientist "alhazen" c.(1011-1021) to trace shapes and lines and sketch scenery on the walls. The camera invention started around c.(1500-1900) and was made commercial for professionals to capture images in all its glory and belief in its power to communicate and bring about change... All cameras work with light of the visible spectrum the first person to make a permanent image was Joseph Nicephore Niepce, a French Physicist who he exposed a light sensitive metal plate and a engraving process to make the image permanent. A Photograph he made in (1826) still exists today...
French inventor Louis M. J. Daguerre, partner of Niepce invented the Daguerreotype in (1830) the developed image process using mecury vapour would make the image permanent fixed with common salt, and in (1839) it became the first popular form of photography...

In (1839) William H. F. Talbot from britain invented the first negative/positive system that was called photography suggested by his friend Sir John F.W. Herschel using hypo sodium thiosulfate as a fixing agent, the improved process used light sensitive paper coated with silver salt nitrate, the calotype process was later named the talbottype for its improved clearer picture...
In (1851) British Photographer Fredrick Scott Archer, introduced the Wet-Plate process coated in a wet liquid called "collodion" then dipped in silver salts staying moist through the exposure while developing the picture. One of the greatest advances of photography came in (1871) with the invention of the dry plate process. Glass plates coated with alternating albumen and colloldion chemical or emulsion, replaced with dry gelatin and without harming the silver salts, No longer would you have to carry around the chemical dark room, you could take a picture and develope the photograph at a later stage...

In the late(1870's) scientist improved the light sensitivity and the gelatin emulsion of the photograph and in (1900) the camera and photography became commercial using different printing techniques. Wet plate process deguertype improved calotype, dry plate process glass pewter plates coated with layers of albumen or collodion or a silver bromide to form a gelatin emulsion. By c.(1879-1900) more than 14 firms were manufacturing "dry plates". Gelatin dry plates were evenly coated by machine and consistent in quality and could be stored for weeks or months before exposure and development...

By c.(1900-1935) George eastman invents flexible based paper a photographic film roll camera called kodak celluloid film for the first mass market camera called the "box brownie". The first 35mm still camera developed. The film can be processed into a negative carrier and resized rendring light on a sensitive light based paper and dipped in developer, stop, fix, wash, baths, watching the image form and reveal right befor your eyes. General Electric invents the first modern flash bulb and the first light meter with photo-electric cell and Eastman of kodak markets kodachrome film...
