First camera the world ever saw
Joseph Nicephore Niepce used a sliding wooden box to take photographs in 1826. Charles and Vincent Chevalier in Paris created this early predecessor of Mr. Wolcott's invention. This sliding box could capture images by using a mixture of silver and chalk exposed under a light source. Johann Heinrich Schultz discovered this silver and chalk method in 1724 http://photography.lovetoknow.com/First_Camera_Invented -
finaly a photo was taken
Joseph Niepce developed the camera obscura and took the first photo with it. It wasn't ideal, though, because it took 8 hours of light exposure to make a picture, and the picture faded with time http://www.softschools.com/timelines/camera_timeline/32 -
somthing revolutionary happened !!!!!!!
Louis Daguerre invented a new way to take pictures. It only needed 30 minutes of light exposure, and the image didn't fade with time. http://www.softschools.com/timelines/camera_timeline/32/ -
Taking pictures gets easier
With the new Collodion process, cameras only needed a few seconds of light exposure to make a pictures http://www.softschools.com/timelines/camera_timeline/32/ -
Film is made easier to handle
Up until this time pictures had to be developed immediately after being taken. Richard Leach Maddox invented the gelatin dry plate silver bromide process, which made it possible to take a picture and develop it later. http://www.softschools.com/timelines/camera_timeline/32/ -
Palaroid camera is marketed
The Polaroid allowed people to take a photo and have it developed immediately, right from the camera. http://www.softschools.com/timelines/camera_timeline/32/ -
The first consumer camcord is marketed
Sony put out the first consumer camcorder, allowing people to record their memories in real time. http://www.softschools.com/timelines/camera_timeline/32/ -
Wireless cameras are developed !
Kodak put out cameras that didn't have to be connected to a computer in order to download and share the pictures. http://www.softschools.com/timelines/camera_timeline/32/
