History of photography

When we think about photography it takes us decades and centuries behind. After a century when photography became a well known fact, the professionals and experts took in charge of photography in a more professional way. However, in the recent trends photography is not necessarily done by experts to click good images, thanks to the digital camera that has aided to capture stills by ourselves and that too with a professional result. Primarily photography started in 1820s which was the period when the first photographs were permanently captured which was possible due to scientific developments. Scientist-Albertus Magnus and Georges Fabricius in the 13th and 16th century revealed silver chloride and silver nitrates respectively that were sensitive to light. In the recent times, silver chlorate is used to make photographic paper as it is sensitive to photons and exposes a suppressed image initially and after photo reduction the actual film is developed. In the year 1825, a French inventor, Nicephore Niepce, invented the foremost photograph, an image was captured in ancient version of camera, which was a long and a tough method and took almost eight hours of exposure to direct sunlight, to develop into a true picture. After that, the silver compounds, like those invented by Magnus and Fabricus, were used by Niepce along with the research of Johann Heinrich Schultz, in 1972, which proved that a combination of chalk and silver compounds become dark on exposure to sunlight which helped Niepce to be successful in his invention of photography. This discovery has led to a flourishing photography which is being carried on till now. Louis Daguerre and Niepce worked together and brought the photo reduction process in the year 1883, after which Niepce died of a severe heart attack leaving the whole work on Daguerre's shoulders who further made two main discoveries in the field of photography called Daguerreotype. Alike daguerreotype, in 1832 a French-Brazilian painter along with the well-known creator Hercules Florence came out with Photographie, now popularlwell known as Photography. This is mostly like Polaroid photos that are used now-a-days. In the year 1840, Fox Talbot took a huge jump and advanced photography which was further polished by an astronomer, John Hershel. Then came George Eastman who advanced Talbot's innovation and development, George Eastman's development is used in today's chemical cameras'. Hippolyte Bayard also had a chief involvement in rising photography, but due to his late declarartion does not share the credit to photography. The daguerreotype gathered too much of recognition in the entire industrial revolution, as the people demanded photographs for themselves. Photographs became greatly well-known and most needed, but due to the limitation of daguerreotype like these photos were difficult to copy and were quiet fragile, George Eastman helped it out, in 1884, by using dry gel on paper. This became a convenient and reasonable way of photography. In the year 1888, Kodak camera came in the market which was released by Eastman with the slogan “You push the button, we do the rest”. This was a chief progress which fascinated the whole market, and with Kodak Brownie, in 1909, just a layman could capture pictures for you. Recently, the recent inventions has familiarized digital photography, but now what you enjoy the most of photography, which is the honest efforts and efforts of intelligent scientists in the past.
