Presentation Transcript

  1. Photography

  2. History • The first successful picture was produced in June/July 1827 by Joseph Niépce • Combined the “camera obscura” • With photochemistry • The term "Photography" was first used by Sir John Herschel , in 1839

  3. Camera Obscura

  4. Deguerrotype • Niepce partnered with DeGuerre • Deguerrotype announced to the public in 1839 • The Deguerrotype was a positive image on a metal plate • One off – no copies • Expensive and long exposure times

  5. Deguerrotype of Niepce

  6. Calotype • Invented by Henry Talbot Fox in 1839 • Technique employed was very similar to that still in use today • Negative exposed in the camera, developed in a dark room, and then printed on paper

  7. Calotype (negative) and print

  8. Glass negative processes • 1848 - Albumen - used egg whites to bind salts to glass plate • 1851 – collodian process – glass plate but much shorter exposure time • Wet collodian process preserved the plates but lengthened exposure time

  9. Gelatin • 1871 - Richard Maddox discovered a way to use gelatin • Used instead of glass as the medium for the photographic plate • Dry plate process • Eliminated the need for portable dark room

  10. Celluloid • First used as photographic medium in the 1860s by John Carbutt • Widely attributed to George Eastman • Eastman introduced flexible “roll film” in 1884 • Eastman introduced the box camera • Called it the “KODAK” • A nonsense word that has no meaning • “You push the button, we do the rest” • Introduced the “Brownie” in 1900

  11. The Brownie $1

  12. Optical Center Focal plane Angle of Acceptance Focal Length In film cameras, 50 millimeter focal length approximates our eyes’ field of vision, or angle of acceptance Depth of Field

  13. Angle of acceptance • Determined by focal length • Long focal length (>50) = “telephoto” • Short focal length (<50) = “wide angle” • Focal length may introduce distortions

  14. Depth of Field • The area where objects will appear to be in focus

  15. Factors Affecting DOF • Focal Length of lens • Longer focal length = shallow DOF • Lens opening • Larger aperture = shallow DOF • Distance to Subject • Closer to subject = shallow DOF • Shutter Speed • Slower shutter speed = shallow DOF

  16. Factors Affecting DOF • Lens opening and shutter speed are determined by light levels • Low light = larger aperture • Low light = slower shutter speed

  17. Distance to subject too great

  18. Position of camera/subject

  19. Retouch
