    Technology of Photography Claudia Jacques de Moraes Cardoso Based on Alex Sirota http://iosart.com/photography-art-or-science Camera Obscura Camera Obscura, Georg Friedrich Brander (1713 - 1785), 1769 Light Sensitive Materials • After the camera obscura had been invented and it’s use widely popularized, many dreamt of capturing the images obtained by the camera obscura permanently. • For hundreds of years before photography was invented, people had been aware that some colors are bleached in the sun, but they had made little distinction between heat, air and light. • In 1727, Johann Heinrich Schulze (1687-1744), a German scientist found that silver salts darkened when exposed to sunlight and published results that distinguished between the action of light and heat upon silver salts. • Even after this discovery, a method was needed to halt the chemical reaction so the image wouldn’t darken completely. A Simplified Schematic Representation of the Silver Halide Process First Permanent Picture Joseph Nicephore Niepce (1765-1833), a French inventor, was experimenting with camera obscura and silver chloride. • In 1826, he turned to bitumen of Judea, a kind of asphalt that hardened when exposed to light. • Niepce dissolved the bitumen in lavender oil and coated a sheet of pewter with the mixture. • He placed the sheet in the camera and exposed it for eight hours aimed through an open window at his courtyard. • The light forming the image on the plate hardened the bitumen in bright areas and left it soft and soluble in the dark areas. • Niepce then washed the plate with lavender oil, which removed the still-soft bitumen that hadn’t been struck by light, leaving a permanent image.

    ADMIRAL MORISON'S ROUTE FROM WATLINGS/SAN SALVADOR TO THE RAGGEDS 1 Admiral Morison's description of Columbus's landing at and departure from the island he named San Salvador is found in pp. 315-331 of volume I of his two volume Admiral of the Ocean Sea, Boston, 1942. Morison's reconnaissance of San Salvador was carried out on board the Mary Otis in early June 1940. The Admiral fixes Columbus's first landing at Fernandez/Long Bay on the west coast of Watlings/San Salvador. On Watlings/San Salvador Island in the 1980s, Charles Hoffman excavated a substantial Lucayan settlement, contemporaneous with the first landing, close to the coast of Long Bay, where advocates of this island suppose Columbus first disembarked. Dr. Hoffman describes the Long Bay site as lying “between 100 and 200 meters from the beach of Long Bay.” The site is suspected to “cover quite a few hectares” and may “involve a linear distance of some 7 km.” By Columbus’s account, it was not until the second day after he anchored that he first saw a native village. In view of the apparent size and proximity to Long Bay of the San Salvador settlement, it does not fit Columbus’s description of settlements containing no more than fifteen houses. 14 [27] October: According to Morison, Columbus's fleet proceeds southwest from Fernandez or Long Bay, in the late afternoon. At a distance of 15 miles [on pg. 331, note 4, Morison changes this to 10 miles], the fleet spies the six hills of Rum Cay which quickly merge into a single island.
