Evolution Of Photography From The 16th Century To The Present

Evolution of photography from the 16th century to the present

Introduction

As we know since the seventeenth century with Leonardo da Vinci we could know about the dark chamber, as was used and for the ends with photography to what we know today, we have been able to observe the evolution of this and its cameras, reducing in size, and above all, the speed at which a photograph takes to be taken, time in which this image taken from reality can be visualized, which is so sought to capture and show;We can see that through time we have created a camera that can capture the reality that we see or want to show, more agile cameras and with characteristics that we can adjust to capture a great photograph.

Developing

We have Da Vinci a painter, Italian inventor whom we all know for his incredible works of art, with his most important paintings "La Mona Lisa", "The Last Supper;What some did not know is that he was one of the first characters to use the dark chamber, it was a large box well sealed, with enough size to enter a person, the box had a hole where the passage ofThe exterior and on the opposite wall could be visualized the image of outside, but inverted, the discovery that Da Vinci began to traced and painting the image that was generated from the exterior on the wall was so great. Thus he took a lot in finishing the image and telling that the plasma image was not equal to that of reality, all his annotations on the dark chamber can be found in his manuscript.

According to Vinci in a section "Treaty of Painting": "An experiment that shows how objects transmit images or drills that are intercepted inside the eye in crystalline humor. This is demonstrated when a very obscure images of very illuminated objects penetrate a small circular hole. If you receive those images on a white paper located inside the room and very close to such a hole, you will see on paper those objects with their bable shapes and colors, although, because of the intersection, at a smaller size and head down. If these images come from a place illuminated by the sun, they will seem like painted in the role that must be subtle and seen from the reverse. The hole will open on a very thin iron plate. (…) This is the case inside the pupil!”(Da Vinci).

It is in 1826 that the Frenchman Nicépohre Niépce was able to take the first photograph without being handmade or traced, it was possibleLight exposure through a dark camera that Niépce placed in the window of his house. This photograph is known as the first in history to be taken and preserved until these times.

He began to see a great interest in Niépce by Louis Daguerre, since Daguerre was fascinated to discover how to set an image almost at the same time as Niépce;Daguerre was looking for Niépce in search of how he did to fix the image of the photograph he had taken, but Niépce refrained from telling him the "secret" of him, since he feared he would steal his idea. Daguerre and Niépce signed an agreement and made a company in which they worked together to be able to set an image for longer and that can be obtained with a shorter time of exposure to light. Unfortunately Niépce died in 1833, what Daguerre took him to sign a new agreement with Isedee or a son of the deceased partner of Daguerre. Those years of searching for different procedures led Daguerre to keep most credits when creating the daguerreotype that consisted of exposing the image in silver plates, since this material was sensitive to light, thus giving a direct positive, it was whenDaguerre began with his project by making portraits to people, reducing the exposure time to 15 minutes. The photograph obtained was very sensitive to light, so it should be framed with a piece of glass so that the portrait does not spoil, it was when Daguerre became known almost everywhere for his invention.

In the history of photography we found William Talbot without being aware of what was elaborated by Daguerre and Niépce, he had created photographs with negative and positive thing that was done for the first time, he made him coating paper with silver nitrate in whichHe was able to obtain a negative, I call his calotipo discovery, which Talbot used it to photograph landscapes or other objects and not only portraits as the daguerreotype did, the calotipo was very well used and was cheaper and what was most fascinated was thatYou could reproduce more than one, since it was a negative that could go to positive, unlike daguerreotype, since this was only a direct positive. This procedure had less exposure time and could be obtained in 15 minutes.

The first digital camera was created in 1975 thanks to the engineer Steve Sasson, worker of the first existing photography company Kodak, was a bit larger and heavy than those we know today, had an efficiency to take a photo and be reflected in23 seconds, these first models in digital cameras allowed to take photographs in black and white and clear in much less time as with spoken cameras, this invention began a great step to what we know today the digital camera, Réflex cameras;We can take photographs in less than 5 seconds, and from any device, since we now have high -end cell phones that can take a digital photograph instantly and be saved in a short time this is a great advantage that we currently have when taking aPhotography. The digital cameras and Réflex that we currently have allow usmoment.

conclusion

We can conclude that with the passage of time it has been observed how technology has helped photography, to make great inventors to take their time to continue perfecting and providing each era to take it to define it with just one photograph, we have started with the dark camera A very large apparatus and which was very delayed to capture an image that did not define reality, we have been able to capture it into silver and paper plates without fixing them even perfectly and taking into account that it could take 8 hours to 15 to 15 Minutes of exposure to the light that took a long time is to be taken, we can observe that the first digital cameras allowed us instant in an easy way anywhere and at any time of the day, with this we conclude that the digital cameras allows a photograph in a shorter time than dark camera that were used in antiquity.
