CAMERA TIMELINE
Brooke Marquer
The main discovery which was the first of importance was made by Johann Heinrich Schulze, a professor of anatomy at the University of Altdorf who was well known for what he did. He had mixed powdered chalk into a solution of nitric acid in an attempt to officially make a phosphorescent material (the aluminous stone" of the alchemist, Baldwin) and was amazed at the fact that he had to discover that the mixture turned dark violet in sunlight. He traced the discoloration to a contaminant in the acid, silver, and finally proved to everyone that silver compounds were visibly changed by the action of light rather than heat or exposure to air, as had been previously suggested. Schulze made numerous stencil prints on the sensitive contents of his bottles, but apparently he never applied the solutions to paper or made any attempt to try to record natural photos.

1727
THE CAMERA OBSCURA IS DEVELOPED 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.
was a French inventor, who first ever invented a camera now usually credited as the inventor of photography and a pioneer in that field Niépce developed heliography, a technique he used to create the world's oldest surviving product of a photographic process: a print made from a photoengraved printing plate in 1825.[In 1826 or 1827, he used a primitive camera to produce the oldest surviving photograph of a real-world scene.
1814
THE DAGUERREOTYPE WAS INVENTED
LOUIS DAGUERRE
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. It was a box wooden
Camera which he had invented for the fun of it turned out it actually
worked the camera had a whole cut through into it.
1837
MAKING MULTIPLE COPIES POSSIBLE 1841
William Henry Talbot developed the Calotype process. This made it possible to make multiple copies of the same picture, he basically was a very clever man who helped things worked that we need theses days.
1841
TAKING PICTURES GETS EASIER
With the new Collodion process, cameras only needed a few seconds of light exposure to make a picture because you will still be able to see the photos and there will be a bit of light exposed so it will make the photo stand out because the sun has hit it. Made in 1851
FILM IS MADE EASIER TO HANDLE
Up until this time pictures had to be developed because of certain reason defaults ect, 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.
1871
THE INVENTION OF THE ROLL-FILM CAMERA George Eastman invented the first roll-film camera 1888 a film roll is
something that you can look pictures up on or take some your self and be inventive.
THE POLAROID CAMERA IS MARKETED EDWIN H. LAND The Polaroid allowed people to take a photo and have it developed
immediately, right from the camera and you could grab it by your own hands with ink already in it
1948
COLOURED FILM IS INTRODUCED 1963 Polaroid came out with the first coloured film. Which means the first films
are no longer in black and white.
THE FIRST CONSUMER CAMCORDER IS RELEASED Sony put out the first consumer camcorder, allowing people to record their
memories in real time. 1980
THE FIRST DIGITAL CAMERA IS DEVELOPED 1974 The Sasson Company built the first digital camera.
THE FIRST DIGITAL CAMERA IS MARKETED 1984 Canon put out the first digital camera for the public, which was later
improved by Pixar
THE EASY SHARE CAMERA COMES INTO PLAY Kodak put out their Easy Share digital camera, which made it easy to snap
pictures and download them to the computer.
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.
