    The document provides a history of photography from its earliest beginnings in 1826 with Joseph Nicéphore Niépce taking the earliest known photograph, through developments like the calotype process in 1841, wet collodion process in 1851, and color photography in 1861. Major innovations that advanced the technology included George Eastman introducing roll film and the Kodak camera in 1888, Edwin Land inventing Polaroid instant photography in 1948, and Steve Sasson creating the first digital camera in 1975. The most modern camera described was a 45.4MP Nikon DSLR from 2017.

    Some of the key takeaways are that the earliest known photograph was taken in 1826 by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce and photography has evolved greatly over time from early techniques like calotypes and daguerreotypes to modern digital cameras.

    Early photography techniques evolved from the first photograph taken in 1826 by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce to techniques like calotypes invented by William Henry Fox Talbot in 1841, the wet collodion process invented in 1851, and daguerreotypes. These early processes used paper or glass plates coated with light-sensitive chemicals.

    Some important photographic inventions/processes included calotypes, the wet collodion process, daguerreotypes, color photography, dry plate photography, Kodak roll film cameras, Kodachrome film, and Polaroid instant photography. These were invented by people like William Henry Fox Talbot, Frederick Scott Archer, Louis Daguerre, Edwin Land, and George Eastman.

    The History of Photography

    By Trinity Edwards and Taylor Johnson


    Earliest Known Photograph - 1826
    The earliest known surviving photograph was taken by a man named Joseph
    Nicphore Nipce. He took a photograph of a view from an upstairs window in
    France.
    Photography Term - 1830
    phrases, acronyms and strings of numbers or number-letter combinations used to
    identify photographic hardware or techniques can be daunting to the uninitiated
    neophyte photographer.
    Calotype - 1841
    Calotype is an early photographic process that was created by a man named
    William Henry Fox Talbot. This creation of photography is used with paper that is
    coated with a type of silver, called silver iodide. This allowed the camera to adjust
    to the exposure of light.
    Wet Collodion Process - 1851
    early photographic technique invented by Englishman Frederick Scott Archer in
    1851. The process involved adding a soluble iodide to a solution of collodion
    (cellulose nitrate) and coating a glass plate with the mixture.
    Daguerreotype - 1860
    To make the image, a daguerreotypist would polish a sheet of silver-plated copper
    to a mirror finish, treat it with fumes that made its surface light sensitive, expose it
    in a camera for as long as was judged to be necessary.
    Color Photography - 1861
    color photography wherein three primary colors (as blue-violet, green, and red in
    the additive process or magenta, yellow, and blue-green in the subtractive
    process) are used to produce the color of the subject photographed.
    Dry Plate Photography - 1871
    Dry Plate is also known as the gelatin process. It is an better type of photographic
    plate. In 1871 it was invented by Dr. Richard L. Maddox, and in 1879 the first dry
    plate factory was introduced.
    Kodak Roll Film Camera - 1888
    George Eastman invented roll film and in 1888, introduced the Kodak camera that
    showed how to use the film. His first camera, the Kodak, was sold in 1888 and
    consisted of a box camera with 100 exposures.
    Kodachrome - 1935
    In 1935 Leopold Godowsky, Jr., and Leopold Mannes, two American musicians
    working with the Kodak Research Laboratories, initiated the modern era of colour
    photography with their invention of Kodachrome film.
    Polaroid Instant Photography - 1948
    Edwin H. Land was the inventor of instant photography.The instant camera is a
    type of camera which uses self-developing film to create a chemically developed
    print shortly after taking the picture.
    First Digital Camera - 1975
    The first digital camera was created in December 1975 by Steve Sasson, an
    engineer at Eastman Kodak.
