THE DISCOVERY THAT SILVER NITRATE CHANGES
Date: 1727
Johann Heinrich Schulz discovered that a substance called silver nitrate would change colour when exposed to light. This paved the way for the first pictures to be taken and processed.
THE CAMERA OBSCURA IS DEVELOPED
Date: 1814
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.
THE DAGUERREOTYPE WAS INVENTED
Date:1837
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.
MAKING MULTIPLE COPIES POSSIBLE
Date:1841
William Henry Talbot developed the Calotype process. This made it possible to make multiple copies of the same picture.
TAKING PICTURES GETS EASIER
Date: 1851With the new Collodion process, cameras only needed a few seconds of light exposure to make a picture.
FILM IS MADE EASIER TO HANDLE
Date: 1871Up 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.
THE INVENTION OF THE ROLL-FILM CAMERA
Date: 1888George Eastman invented the first roll-film camera.
THE POLAROID CAMERA IS MARKETED
Date: 1948The Polaroid allowed people to take a photo and have it developed immediately, right from the camera.
COLOURED FILM IS INTRODUCED
Date: 1963Polaroid came out with the first coloured film.
THE FIRST DIGITAL CAMERA IS DEVELOPED
Date:1974The Sasson Company built the first digital camera.
Date:1980Sony put out the first consumer camcorder, allowing people to record their memories in real time.
THE FIRST DIGITAL CAMERA IS MARKETED
Date: 1984Canon put out the first digital camera for the public, which was later improved by Pixar.
THE FIRST CAMERA PHONES
Date: 1990The camera phone technology was first used in Japan, but it quickly spread around the world.
THE EASY SHARE CAMERA COMES INTO PLAY
Date: 2001Kodak put out their Easy Share digital camera, which made it easy to snap pictures and download them to the computer.
WIRELESS CAMERAS ARE DEVELOPED
Date: 2012Kodak put out cameras that didn't have to be connected to a computer in order to download and share the pictures.
