History of the camera

1. History of the camera Mustache Film Lab.

2. Camera Obscura • The camera's history, an Arab scientist Ibn = Haithem 's "Book of Optics" (1021) device projects an image onto a screen outside scenery or a pinhole lens camera obscura to describe much of can be traced. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Camera_obscura_box.jpg

3. First shot • The first fixed photo, using a sliding wooden box type camera made ​​by Charles and Vincent Chevalier in Paris, Joseph Niepce fake fall through, taken in 1827 or 1826. Niepce is based on the discovery by Johann Heinrich Schultz in 1724 that will shed light on black and silver and chalk mixture, a computer board asphalt the first pictures by exposing to light the plate coated with pitch taken. Cures to hit the pitch where the light is not part of the cure was later dissolved. This is the beginning of photography.

4. Daguerreotype • Louis Jacques MandeDaguerrewas invented by 1839 and August 19 in the Institute of France and was presented at the world's first practical photographic technique , and the wet plate photographsuntil the technique is established, the most popular photos technique. And silver-plated copper plate with a photosensitive material for use as in Japanese, also known as the daguerreotype.

5. Daguerreotype • The most significant feature of the daguerreotype is a photographic technique that it is to obtain a direct positive image. • Daguerreotype, in order to meet the demands of the middle class who want a portrait of the time of the Industrial Revolution, widespread enthusiasm in the 1840s in Europe.

6. Dry plate • In 1871 Richard Leach Maddox that photographic plates invented, photographers can now be used for existing products. The cameras first hand just enough to become smaller or even be able to hide. From a camera phone camera to the field, has increased dramatically different design. • Exposure time was reduced by improvements in the sensitivity, the shutter is needed. The first shutter was independent of the camera accessories, that were generally built into the camera until 1900.

7. Kodak and the birth of film • The use of photographic film was pioneered by George Eastman, who started manufacturing paper film in 1885 before switching to celluloid in 1889. His first camera, which he called the "Kodak," was first offered for sale in 1888. It was a very simple box camera with a fixed-focus lens and single shutter speed, which along with its relatively low price appealed to the average consumer. The Kodak came pre-loaded with enough film for 100 exposures and needed to be sent back to the factory for processing and reloading when the roll was finished. By the end of the 19th century Eastman had expanded his lineup to several models including both box and folding cameras.

8. 35mm • Oskar Barnack, who was in charge of research and development at Leitz, decided to investigate using 35 mm cine film for still cameras while attempting to build a compact camera capable of making high-quality enlargements. He built his prototype 35 mm camera (Ur-Leica) around 1913, though further development was delayed for several years by World War I. Leitz test-marketed the design between 1923 and 1924, receiving enough positive feedback that the camera was put into production as the Leica I (for Leitz camera) in 1925. The Leica's immediate popularity spawned a number of competitors, most notably the Contax (introduced in 1932), and cemented the position of 35 mm as the format of choice for high-end compact cameras.

9. Instant cameras • While conventional cameras were becoming more refined and sophisticated, an entirely new type of camera appeared on the market in 1948. This was the Polaroid Model 95, the world's first viable instant-picture camera. Known as a Land Camera after its inventor, Edwin Land, the Model 95 used a patented chemical process to produce finished positive prints from the exposed negatives in under a minute. The Land Camera caught on despite its relatively high price and the Polaroid lineup had expanded to dozens of models by the 1960s. The first Polaroid camera aimed at the popular market, the Model 20 Swinger of 1965, was a huge success and remains one of the top-selling cameras of all time.

10. Digital cameras • Digital cameras differ from their analog predecessors primarily in that they do not use film, but capture and save photographs on digital memory cards or internal storage instead. Their low operating costs have relegated chemical cameras to niche markets. Digital cameras now include wireless communication capabilities (for example Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) to transfer, print or share photos, and are commonly found on mobile phones.
