The History of Photography
Most people today have experience taking pictures and many have developed more of an interest in it than most. Some of these people have even managed to take this hobby and turn it into a business, making money full or part time. You can make a substantial income as a professional photographer, but with all things in order to see a return on your investment, you need to invest in the tools of the trade and the proper resources to enhance your photographic abilities to their full potential.
Maybe you imagined you were an ace photographer for the newspaper when you were small, or maybe you just liked to take pictures and arrange them just so in your favorite scrap book. It's easy to see why someone would fall in love with photography, with the ability to frame and capture the myriad of life's emotions, personalities and moments. If you have ever imagined yourself doing this full time, then you are one of many who have dreamed of having this wonderful and creative career.
Photography can be split into two distinct processes: optical and chemical. Originally, the dark room was the corner stone of photography. It was originally termed Camera Obscurra and dates back to photography's origins. As a matter of fact, there are examples of a dark room in Leonardo da Vinci's work, even in 1519.
In the beginning, photography was slow to gain popularity. There was fierce rivalry with traditional artists of the time and a growing fear that photography would replace these artists. Of course, that did not happen and photography has become a valuable resource for all manner of artists today.
Modern photography is admittedly high-tech, but traditional photography was definitely not. It wasn't very long ago that the endless variety of gadgets and accessories available for modern cameras didn't even exist. There are so many specialty lenses, remote flash systems, filters and on board editing software varieties available that it is feasible that you could shoot any possible situation.
The term, photography itself is a rather old word and dates back to 1839, when Sir John Herschel coined it using the Greek words Photos (light) and Graphien (to draw) to describe the new image capturing process. When spoken together, "to draw in light", the term was the perfect description for the newly developed process. Today, the term is rooted in our modern-day vocabulary.
While it may not have advanced rapidly until fairly recently, photography has been in existence since 1827, when the first photograph, taken by Joseph Niepce a French Inventor, to a whopping 8 hours to capture on film.
Not long after coining the phrase, Herschel then teamed up with Frenchman Louis Daguerr, who, himself, was dabbling with the new process of capturing images. Daguerre was experimenting with different types of photographic processes. Upon Herschel's death in 1833 of a stroke, all of his research was left to Daguerre. He continued on without his partner, and further developed the work that Herschel had begun, even improving on the technology that his partner had originally created.
While experimenting, Daguerre managed to reduce the time needed to expose the photographs to under thirty minutes, which was very impressive for the time. He continued to improve on his process and was later joined in research by Niepce's son who documented the process in a manual he produced. He call the process that Daguerre had developed Daguerreotype, which they eventually sold to the French government. Daguerre's method became so popular that it landed in New York City and the rest is history.
Even as wildly popular as it was, Daguerreotypes were still very limited. Expensive to produce, the images that resulted were impossible to duplicate. Eventually, Calotype photography was created to overcome these issues in Daguerreotypes. Calotype photography was invented by William Fox Talbot, who also invented the first negative in 1835. He worked continually to improve his process and by 1844 he went so far as to use it to publish a photo book which had the effect of changing the history of photography forever, birthing the modern photography that we know today.

Night Photography $34.95 Night photographers have one big thing in common: a true love of the dark. Rather than looking at night photography as an extension of daytime shooting with added complications, they embrace the unique challenges of nocturnal photography for the tremendous wealth of creative opportunities it offers. That's just what this book does. But if the idea of setting out into the deep, dark night with just your camera (and maybe a cup of coffee) gets your creative juices flowing, dive right in. Lance Keimig, one of the premier experts on night photography, has put together a comprehensive reference that will show you ways to capture images you never thought possible. If you have some experience with photography and have always wanted to try shooting at night, you'll learn the basics for film or digital shooting. If you're already a seasoned pro, you'll learn to use sophisticated techniques such as light painting and drawing, stacking images to create long star trails, and more. A chapter on the history of night photography describes the materials and processes that made night photography possible, and introduces the photographers who have defined night photography as an artistic medium. A chapter on how to use popular software packages such as Lightroom and Photoshop specifically with night time shots shows you how to make the final adjustments to your nocturnal creations. In this book you'll find history, theory, and lots of practical instruction on technique, all illustrated with clear, concise examples, diagrams and charts that reinforce the text, and inspiring color and black and white images from the author and other luminaries in the field, including Scott Martin, Dan Burkholder, Tom Paiva, Troy Paiva, Christian Waeber, Jens Warnecke and Cenci Goepel, with Foreword by Steve Harper. *Includes the most complete information available for learning the art of light painting *Covers both film and digital shooting *Stunning color and black and white images from some of the world's most well-known night photographers provide creative examples of the techniques discussed within the chapters |
