The modern age we live in has made everything accessible to us, even taking the best photos. Younger and younger generations do not know that it has not always been just a click and there is an ideal picture. Most don't even remember the movie that was being developed in the red room, and not even the disappointment when we "shoot" the whole movie on the summer, and when it develops we realize that the images are blurry or faded. When looking at pictures, we rarely really think about them and the curiosities they hide. Here's a chance.
George Estman, the founder of the famous Kodak, committed suicide at the age of 77, in 1932. He was in great pain because of spinal problems, so he left a farewell letter saying: "My job is done - why wait?"
The first image ever taken from the air came from the lens of Gaspar Felix Tournachon, a French photographer. He was a passionate balloon flyer, so he probably came up with the idea of taking a picture in the air.
The oldest photograph of the man was recorded in Paris in 1838. The man in the picture is polishing his shoes.
The saddest picture in the world is certainly the one on which the vulture stands not far from a starving child in Sudan, made by a Kevin Carter reporter from Johannesburg.
Facebook (Facebook) is a social network with over 240 billion images. According to the cross-section made in August 2014, it was reported that about 350 million photos are added to this social network every day.
Dilish Pareh is the name of an Indian who holds the absolute world record for collecting antique cameras. Since 1977, this man has collected 4,425 antiques, the oldest of which is a 1906 camera.
History of photography:
The basic principles of photography are based on the laws of nature, above all on the law of the propagation of light. The Brunswick plate of 1589 reads: Light and lenses What benefit do they give to the sight and the wit?
It has been obvious to people since ancient times that images are being recorded on polished surfaces, such as still water, but they have not been able to retain them. In ancient Greece, Aristotle investigated the optical law of the passage of light through a small opening.
Painters used an obscure camera before drawing a photograph to draw the contours of a scene. When drawing portraits, the person was placed outside in the sun, and they were drawing a projected image in a darkened room with a small opening. At the eclipse of the sun in 1999, the Belgraders projected a half-moon image of the partially eclipsed sun on the asphalt through a pipe that had a small hole in the upper end.
In 1568, Daniel Barbaro concluded that the image could be sharpened by adding a complex of lenses of various sizes. For centuries, researchers have been trying to find light-sensitive matter to capture the scene immediately or after a chemical reaction. In 1663, Robert Boyle found that silver chloride darkened when exposed to light. In 1782, Jean Senebia proved that silver chloride does not react the same to different wavelengths of the solar spectrum. While it responded to the blue of the spectrum after 15 seconds of exposure, it only reacted to the red after 20 minutes. He also found that some resins, after exposure to light, lose their solubility in vegetable oils, hardening, which was later elaborated by Nisefor Nieps.
From the mid-nineteenth century to the present day, technologies have evolved through processes called: heliotipy, daguerreotype, calotype, gelatin, silver, photogravure, photogenic imaging, autochromic plates, color EP2 and RA4 processes, polaroid process, digital photography…
