disocvery of color
One of the earliest events in the history of photography is when Newton discovers that white light consists of various colors. -
first camera
Joseph Nicephore Niepce made the first photographic image with a camera obscura. -
2nd generation dry plates
Dry plates were better than the previous idea of wet plates based on the greater speed and quality. This also brought on the new invention of a shutter to get better pictures. This version was the start of something great to come and a big step up from the first box camera. It also was the first style to be able to be carried around easier. -
3rd generation film
George Eastman came up with the idea of photography with film. He first used paper film before changing to celluloid. He called his first camera the Kodak and it featured fixed-focus and single shutter speed. Each camera could take 100 pictures before new film was needed. He produced box and folding style cameras. He later invented the Brownie which gave the concept of the snapshot. This brought the idea for many different styles to come. -
the end of film era
1928-1950's - The cameras of this time were made from focusing on what the people wanted. The cameras were made more for professional style that took higher resolution photos and could also zoom in much more than cameras could before. The cameras then were a great and good change from the original box camera. -
compact camera
This camera included a sleek style and used 35 mm film and there was a compact camera that was able to create high quality enlarged photos (the installation of zoom). The model and design of this generation was used throughout the history of the camera. -
the first instant camera
The instant camera is a type of camera that generates a developed film image. The most popular types to use self-developing film were formerly made by Polaroid Corporation.
The invention of modern instant cameras is generally credited to American scientist Edwin Land, who unveiled the first commercial instant camera, the Land Camera, in 1948 -
fist digital camera
The first digital filmless electronic camera was made in 1972. Instead of film and paper, it used digital pixilation to capture images. Digital photography was a lot easier and faster than film photography and a lot simpler to use. Digital photography is cheaper than using film because you don't have to keep buying film when you can just upload the pictures on the computer. The camera greatly changed over time and changed for the better. -
