    The document outlines the history of camera technology from 500 BCE to the present day. It describes early camera obscura tools used by artists, the first photograph taken by Joseph Niepce in 1827, Louis Daguerre's popularization of the daguerreotype process in 1839, and George Eastman's 1888 introduction of roll film and easy-to-use Kodak cameras. It then discusses the rise of 35mm film formats for both still cameras and motion pictures in the early 1900s and the transition to digital photography beginning in the 1970s. The timeline shows the evolution of the camera from obscura to digital and the increasing accessibility of photography over time.

    ‘THE EVOLUTION OF CAMERA’

    PRINCE NICDAO BS CRIM 2

    Camera Obscura: 500 BCE -


    1600 CE (IBN AL-HAYTHAM)

    The camera obscura was a tool used by some artists that allowed them to
    easily draw or paint realistic landscapes and rendering of architecture.

    Early Optics: 1400s - 1700s

    Near the start of the 16th Century, the amazing artist, scientist, and inventor
    Leonardo da Vinci sketched out diagrams and wrote instructions about the
    camera obscura. In these papers, he included not
    just pinholes but also simple glass lenses.

    First Photograph:
    1827(Joseph Niepce)
    It was just one in a series of experiments, but View from the Window at Le Gras is the
    earliest surviving photograph. Nicéphore Niépce used a sheet of metal with a film of
    chemicals spread on it.

    Daguerreotype: 1839(Louis Daguerre) round


    this time, the word photography began to be used to describe this new industry. From
    1839 on, the popular metal plate process known as daguerreotype opened up this mix of
    art and technology to the masses.

    Enter the Camera: 1841


    Photographers of this era generally used cameras designed
    and made by themselves or skilled craftsmen, adapting lenses made by optical
    manufacturers to use photographically.
    KODAK: 1888(George westman

    George Eastman of Rochester, New York had an idea. Use this new roll film, build a
    simple, easy-to-use camera, and market it as a fun use product. In the history of
    photography, Eastman was a master of marketing photography to the masses. “You
    push the button, we do the rest.”

    35mm Film and the Leica: 1913


    One of the more common formats of roll
    film was 135 format, also called 35mm. This format was used primarily for
    motion pictures, but it also started getting spooled into small cartridges
    for miniature still cameras, as they were
    called then.

    35mm SLRs: 1957 & 1959 (Karl Nüchterlein)


    While many film and camera formats exist, 35mm
    became one of the most popular formats in our history of
    photography.
    Digital Reigns Supreme: 1975 – PresentT
    The history of photography timeline continues progressing
    through to the present day with digital imaging taking front stage for most
    photographers. Digital is a fantastic medium for photography because of all
    of the varied formats, storage and display options, and ease of transferring
    images.

    History of Photography Timeline Continues: Present Day


    Even though a lot of attention is given to 35mm format cameras,
    film or digital, many other formats exist. We can also look at the
    introduction of video recording for motion pictures.

    One of the most interesting aspects of the timeline of


    photography is the modern smartphone. Just think, in our pocket
    we can carry a camera that records still images and video. We
    can then transfer these photos and movies virtually
    instantaneously to almost anywhere in the world.
