History of Photography History of Photography http://www.scuc.txed.net/webpages/treed/index.cfm?subpage=65096 How has photography changed the way we do things? 1727 Professor J. Schulze mixes chalk, nitric acid, and silver in a flask; notices darkening on side of flask exposed to sunlight. Accidental creation of the first photo-sensitive compound. 1801 Thomas Young suggested that the human eye contains three types of color sensitive receptors. One sensitive to blue light, one to green and one to red. Varying signals from these receptors produce, in our brain, any visible color. When green, red and blue overlap the combination is white light. J. Nicephore Niepce 1826 - produced the first successful permanent image (Heliograph) Used material that hardened on exposure to light Required 8 hours to expose View from Niepce’s Window at Le Gras. Daguerreotype 1829 - Niepce and Louis Daguerre went into partnership 1837 - The Daguerreotype was formed Latent images could be formed into visible images and then fixed The images were very fragile, and laterally reversed (like looking into a mirror) While the daguerreotype made commercial photography possible, its end product was a single photo. For patrons wanting copies of their portraits, a second sitting was necessary. Daguerreotype Earliest known image of the Capitol Building. Taken around 1846. This daguerreotype of the east front of the Capitol Building shows the original copper-topped wooden dome. 1839 Sir John Herschel first used the term “Photography” The word is derived from the Greek words for light and writing The photographic process became public 1839 This photo gives the impression of empty streets because of the long exposure The once exception is when a man stopped to have his shoes shined. Although they remain anonymous, they may be the first people to every have been photographed. 1842 The first modern news picture appeared in “The Illustrated London News.” 1844 The first book to contain photographs was “The Pencil of Nature” by William Fox Talbot About 150 copies were made between 1844-1846 Matthew Brady 1860 - Brady takes a photographic portrait of Abraham Lincoln in New York 1861-1865 – Brady and staff expose over 7000 negatives while covering the American Civil War 1865 Photographs and photographic negatives are added to protected works under copyright George Eastman 1884 - George Eastman invented flexible, paper-based photographic film 1888 - Eastman founded the Eastman Kodak Company by introducing the first mass developing and processing service and the first simplified camera system for the general public, The Kodak Number 1. Contained a 20-foot roll of paper, enough for 100 2.5-inch diameter circular pictures. 1889 Improved Kodak camera with roll of film instead of paper first transparent roll film Film Speed In 1890 the first independent system to give emulsions speed numbers was developed. This essentially led to the current ISO numbers on film boxes today Brownie In 1900, the Brownie becomes the first mass- marketed camera. 1912 Speed Graphic Camera introduced Became dominant “press” camera for decades 1913 First 35mm still camera was developed Ansel Adams, 1902-1984 In 1916 Ansel Adams received his first camera It was a Kodak Brownie Box Camera "There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer." ~ Ansel Adams Ansel Adams, 1902-1984 Nikon 1917 - Nippon Kogaku K.K., which will eventually become Nikon, established in Tokyo. First Nikon camera: The Nikon 1 1920s Photojournalism was born in the 1920s when the printing technology was mature enough to support mass production. What is the difference between Photography and Photojournalism? New Additions 1925 - First flashbulb invented in Germany by Dr. Paul Vierkotter Previously open flash powders were used 1934 - Fuji Photo Film founded. By 1938, Fuji is making cameras and lenses in addition to film. 1935 - Kodachrome is sold The world’s first slide film 1939 Cover of Picture Post 1947 Dr. Edwin Land invented an “instant” picture process, first called Polaroid Land. The special camera sandwiched the exposed negative with a receiving positive paper and spread the processing chemicals between the two. After processing these were peeled apart. 1948 Cover of Life 1951 The first video tape recorder (VTR) captured live images from television cameras by converting the information into electrical impulses and saving the information onto magnetic tape. 1963 The Polaroid Corporation’s research team invented the first instant color picture material. 1964 Built in electronic flash first appears on the Voigtlander Vitrona 1968 Photograph of the Earth from the moon 110-format In 1972 110-format cameras introduced by Kodak with a 13x17mm frame 1978 The first camera with autofocus, Konica C35AF, was introduced. 1980s A system called DX coding was introduced for 35mm films. The cassettes have an auto- sensing code printed on them which enable certain cameras to automatically set the film speed. This information can also be used by processing laboratories. 1981 Sony released the Sony Mavica electronic still camera The camera was the first commercial electronic camera Images were recorded onto a mini disc and then put into a video reader that was connected to a television monitor or color printer 1985 Pixar introduces digital imaging processor Minolta markets the world's first autofocus SLR system (called "Maxxum" in the US) 1987 Kodak and Fuji introduced novel disposable cameras, the Kodak Fling and the Fuji Quicksnap. Both were sold in foil wrappers ready loaded with film. The complete camera was given to the film processor after exposure. 1990 Adobe Photoshop 1.0 is introduced for Apple Macintosh computers also Eastman Kodak announced Photo CD as a digital image storage medium 1992 JPEG is described in a paper for IEEE for the first time 1993 Adobe Photoshop is made available for MS-Windows computers Digital SLR camera beginnings 1991- Introduced Kodak DCS-100, first digital SLR, a modified Nikon F3 1.3 MP 2000 - Canon introduced the EOS D30, the first digital SLR for the consumer market. 3.25 MP 2000 Sharp and J-Phone introduced first camera phone in Japan How did the invention of the camera phone change photography? 2002 2003 More than 80% of Canon and Nikon’s sales are digital 2004 Sales of new point-and-shoot cameras are 90% digital. Nikon completely stops production of new point-and-shoot 35mm cameras Kodak ceases production of film cameras One year later, in 2005, Kodak announced it would discontinue production of its black and white photographic printing papers 2006 Samsung announces first 10 megapixel camera phone Nikon stops production of film cameras and lenses 2007 Eastman Kodak implodes several buildings on their Rochester, NY campus formerly used for film & photographic paper production Canon announces plans to build an additional 55 billion-yen ($585 MM) factory to double production of CMOS sensors used in digital cameras Apple unveiled its first iPhone 2009 First official U.S. Presidential picture taken with a digital camera Kodak announces it will dis- continue Kodachrome film after 74 years of production Nikon integrates a digital pro- jector with a 12 MP camera 2010 Instagram was launched and distributed through the Apple App Store. .

  • Digital Holography Using a Laser Pointer and Consumer Digital Camera Report Date: June 22Nd, 2004
    Digital Holography using a Laser Pointer and Consumer Digital Camera Report date: June 22nd, 2004 by David Garber, M.E. undergraduate, Johns Hopkins University, [email protected] Available online at http://pegasus.me.jhu.edu/~lefd/shc/LPholo/lphindex.htm Acknowledgements Faculty sponsor: Prof. Joseph Katz, [email protected] Project idea and direction: Dr. Edwin Malkiel, [email protected] Digital holography reconstruction: Jian Sheng, [email protected] Abstract The point of this project was to examine the feasibility of low-cost holography. Can viable holograms be recorded using an ordinary diode laser pointer and a consumer digital camera? How much does it cost? What are the major difficulties? I set up an in-line holographic system and recorded both still images and movies using a $600 Fujifilm Finepix S602Z digital camera and a $10 laser pointer by Lazerpro. Reconstruction of the stills shows clearly that successful holograms can be created with a low-cost optical setup. The movies did not reconstruct, due to compression and very low image resolution. Garber 2 Theoretical Background What is a hologram? The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a hologram as, “a three-dimensional image reproduced from a pattern of interference produced by a split coherent beam of radiation (as a laser).” Holograms can produce a three-dimensional image, but it is more helpful for our purposes to think of a hologram as a photograph that can be refocused at any depth. So while a photograph taken of two people standing far apart would have one in focus and one blurry, a hologram taken of the same scene could be reconstructed to bring either person into focus.

ABSTRACT This study examines the perceived credibility of professional photojournalism in context to the usage of User-Generated Content (UGC) when compared across digital news and social media platforms, by individual news consumers in the United States employing a Q methodology experiment. The literature review studies source credibility as the theoretical framework through which to begin; however, using an inductive design, the data may indicate additional patterns and themes. Credibility as a news concept has been studied in terms of print media, broadcast and cable television, social media, and inline news, both individually and between genres. Very few studies involve audience perceptions of credibility, and even fewer are concerned with visual images. Using online Q methodology software, this experiment was given to 100 random participants who sorted a total of 40 images labeled with photographer and platform information. The data revealed that audiences do discern the source of the image, in both the platform and the photographer, but also take into consideration the category of news image in their perception of the credibility of an image.

Each publication has a set of rules, sometimes written, sometimes unwritten, that governs what that publication considers to be a truthful and faithful representation of images to the public. These rules cover a wide range of topics such as how a photographer should act while taking pictures, what he or she can and can’t photograph, and whether and how an image can be altered in the darkroom or on the computer.

  • Holography Split-Beam Transmission Hologram
    Physics 331A Experiment 8 HOLOGRAPHY Revised 16 May 2005. When a hologram is made, a coherent beam of light is divided so that one beam (the reference beam) falls directly onto a piece of photographic film and another beam (the object beam) is formed from the light that is scattered by an object and falls onto the same piece of film. When the two beams are recombined in this way, they make an interference pattern which is recorded on the film. If the film is illuminated with coherent light, the light will be diffracted as if by a diffraction grating, giving rise to a diffraction pattern containing the zeroth and first orders. The first order reproduces the full wavefront of the light scattered from the original object and gives a 3D virtual image of the object for the light transmitted through the film and a 3D real image for the light reflected from the film. The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the properties of holograms by 1) making a transmission hologram of actual objects and observing its optical characteristics, and 2) making a diffraction grating by combining two beams of light in order to examine the holographic process in its simplest form.

  • Session Outline: History of the Daguerreotype
    Fundamentals of the Conservation of Photographs SESSION: History of the Daguerreotype INSTRUCTOR: Grant B. Romer SESSION OUTLINE ABSTRACT The daguerreotype process evolved out of the collaboration of Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre (1787- 1851) and Nicephore Niepce, which began in 1827. During their experiments to invent a commercially viable system of photography a number of photographic processes were evolved which contributed elements that led to the daguerreotype. Following Niepce’s death in 1833, Daguerre continued experimentation and discovered in 1835 the basic principle of the process. Later, investigation of the process by prominent scientists led to important understandings and improvements. By 1843 the process had reached technical perfection and remained the commercially dominant system of photography in the world until the mid-1850’s. The image quality of the fine daguerreotype set the photographic standard and the photographic industry was established around it. The standardized daguerreotype process after 1843 entailed seven essential steps: plate polishing, sensitization, camera exposure, development, fixation, gilding, and drying. The daguerreotype process is explored more fully in the Technical Note: Daguerreotype. The daguerreotype image is seen as a positive to full effect through a combination of the reflection the plate surface and the scattering of light by the imaging particles. Housings exist in great variety of style, usually following the fashion of miniature portrait presentation. The daguerreotype plate is extremely vulnerable to mechanical damage and the deteriorating influences of atmospheric pollutants. Hence, highly colored and obscuring corrosion films are commonly found on daguerreotypes. Many daguerreotypes have been damaged or destroyed by uninformed attempts to wipe these films away.

    . • lr _; rj / EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY A Brief History In 1875, the art of photography was about a half a century old. It was still a cumbersome chore practiced primarily by studio professionals and a few ardent amateurs who were challenged by the difficulties of making photographs. About 1877, George Eastman, a young bank clerk in Roch­ ester, New York, began to plan for a vacation in the Caribbean. A friend suggested that he would do well to take along a photographic outfit and record his travels. The "outfit," Eastman discovered, was really a cartload of equipment that included a lighttight tent, among many other items. Indeed, field pho­ tography required an individual who was part chemist, part tradesman, and part contortionist, for with "wet" plates there was preparation immediately before exposure, and develop­ ment immediately thereafter-wherever one might be . Eastman decided that something was very inadequate about this system. Giving up his proposed trip, he began to study photography. At that juncture, a fascinating sequence of events began. They led to the formation of Eastman Kodak Company. George Eastman made A New Idea ... this self-portrait with Before long, Eastman read of a new kind of photographic an experimental film. plate that had appeared in Europe and England. This was the dry plate-a plate that could be prepared and put aside for later use, thereby eliminating the necessity for tents and field­ processing paraphernalia. The idea appealed to him. Working at night in his mother's kitchen, he began to experiment with the making of dry plates.

  • Digital Camera Functions All Photography Is Based on the Same
    Digital Camera Functions All photography is based on the same optical principle of viewing objects with our eyes. In both cases, light is reflected off of an object and passes through a lens, which focuses the light rays, onto the light sensitive retina, in the case of eyesight, or onto film or an image sensor the case of traditional or digital photography. The shutter is a curtain that is placed between the lens and the camera that briefly opens to let light hit the film in conventional photography or the image sensor in digital photography. The shutter speed refers to how long the curtain stays open to let light in. The higher the number, the shorter the time, and consequently, the less light gets in. So, a shutter speed of 1/60th of a second lets in half the amount of light than a speed of 1/30th of a second. For most normal pictures, shutter speeds range from 1/30th of a second to 1/100th of a second. A faster shutter speed, such as 1/500th of a second or 1/1000th of a second, would be used to take a picture of a fast moving object such as a race car; while a slow shutter speed would be used to take pictures in low-light situations, such as when taking pictures of the moon at night. Remember that the longer the shutter stays open, the more chance the image will be blurred because a person cannot usually hold a camera still for very long. A tripod or other support mechanism should almost always be used to stabilize the camera when slow shutter speeds are used.

    Information capacity: a measure of potential image quality of a digital camera Frédéric Cao 1, Frédéric Guichard, Hervé Hornung DxO Labs, 3 rue Nationale, 92100 Boulogne Billancourt, FRANCE ABSTRACT The aim of the paper is to define an objective measurement for evaluating the performance of a digital camera. The challenge is to mix different flaws involving geometry (as distortion or lateral chromatic aberrations), light (as luminance and color shading), or statistical phenomena (as noise). We introduce the concept of information capacity that accounts for all the main defects than can be observed in digital images, and that can be due either to the optics or to the sensor. The information capacity describes the potential of the camera to produce good images. In particular, digital processing can correct some flaws (like distortion). Our definition of information takes possible correction into account and the fact that processing can neither retrieve lost information nor create some. This paper extends some of our previous work where the information capacity was only defined for RAW sensors. The concept is extended for cameras with optical defects as distortion, lateral and longitudinal chromatic aberration or lens shading. Keywords: digital photography, image quality evaluation, optical aberration, information capacity, camera performance database 1. INTRODUCTION The evaluation of a digital camera is a key factor for customers, whether they are vendors or final customers. It relies on many different factors as the presence or not of some functionalities, ergonomic, price, or image quality. Each separate criterion is itself quite complex to evaluate, and depends on many different factors. The case of image quality is a good illustration of this topic.
