The Early History Of Photography
The camera obscura was the first camera invented by an Arabian scientist Alzahen. Renaissance artists used it. A camera obscura is a dark box that projects light through a small hole, covered by a convex lens onto a screen inside.
Johann Heinrich Schultz discovered that silver nitrate darkened upon exposure to light. Other artists believed that silver nitrate darkened upon heat however it didn't. Schultz under took his experiment in about 1717.
Joseph Nicephore Niepce was a french inventor, he developed heliography. A technique he used to create the world's oldest surviving product of a photographic process. This was a print made from a photoengraved printing plate in 1825.
Henry Fox Talbot was an English scientist, inventor and photography pioneer who invented the salted pepper and calotype processes(the invention was using paper coated with silver iodine,thiswas how he made successful photographs).His work in the 1840s led to the creation of the photoglyphic engraving process.He was a significant part in photography.
Louis Daguerre was a french photographer and artist, well known for inventing the daggereotype photography process. This was the first publicly available process for nearly 20 years and became the most well used. Daguerre became almost known as the farther of photography
George Eastman was an American man who founded the Eastman Kodak company that were popular for roll film. Roll film was the basis from the invention of motion picture film stock in 1888. This was used by many famous people.

Camera Obscura Steps to creating a camera obscura: 1. Tape down both ends of the cardboard box that have flaps. 2. Cut a 2cm square on one side of a cardboard box. 3. Create a large hole on the other side of the box open so that you can stick your tracing paper over it. 4. Tape down your tracing paper using masking tape. 5. Get your lens and place it over the small 2 centre metre hole 6. And now you are ready to use your camera obscura by holding it up to the light! |
www: My camera obscura worked well and i made a successful drawing out of it.
EBI: i create more images using the obscura to show how it works.

The SLR camera
An SLR camera is a single-lens reflex camera that usually uses a mirror and prism system, that allows the photographer to look through the lens and see exactly what will be captured. The viewed image can be differnt from the final image.The camera settings on the SLR camera are Manuel, Aperture priority, shutter priority and programme mode. These photos above were taken on a DSLR (digital single-lens reflex camera).An SLR camera has film which captures a limited amount of photos where as a DSLR doesn't and captures photos on a SD card/memory card.
www: All my images are what was asked of me to do and show different shots you can take on a SLR camera well.
EBI: i could use a different reflection shot however, i like the image with me in as a good example. Also i could got to more interesting locations.

Shutter Speed
Shutter speed is the length of time when the film or digital sensor inside the camera is exposed to light, also when the cameras shutter is open while taking a photograph. Shutter speed is measured in seconds or fractions of seconds, the bigger the denominator, the faster the speed.
A fast shutter speed means that the shutter is only open for a short period of time; a slow shutter speed means the shutter is open for longer. For example the images below!

www: In my work there is a clear understanding of what different shutter speeds do to images.
Ebi: again add more of my images so the person viewing my work can see my understanding of shutter speed.

Aperture
Aperture is a hole or an opening through which light travels into the camera body. Aperture also effects how much of your image is in focus or the 'depth of field'. As your draw closer or move further from your subject. This gives you control of the depth of field in the photograph.
Aperture is calibrated in f/stops and is generally written as numbers such as 1.4,2,2.8,4,5.6,8,11 and 16. The lower f/stops give more exposure because they represent smaller apertures.

www: I portrayed aperture well and got many demonstrations of different aperture.

philippe halsman jumping photography
philippe Halsman was born in Riga to a jewish couple and he later studied electrical engineering. In september 1928 Halsman was accused of his fathers murder while on a hiking trip to Austrian tyrol. After a trial based circumstance he was sentenced to 4 years in prison. His friends and family worked hard for his release and even tried getting support from european intellectuals such as Albert Eisenstein and many others. Halsman spent 2 years in prison and went on to having his prison letters published and turned into a book in 1930 when he was pardoned by the president of Austria and released in October.
Halsman left Austria for France and bega working for fashion magazines such as vogue and soon gained a reputation as one of the best portrait photographers in France. When France was invaded by Germany Halsman fled to Marseille. He eventually managed to obtain a U.S visa aided by a close family friend Albert Eisenstein.
In 1051 Halsman was commissioned by NBC to photograph various popular comedians like Milton Berle and Bob Hope. While capturing comedians doing their acts he also caught them in mid-air which later went on to inspire many later jump pictures of celebrities like the duke and duchess of windsor and Marilyn Monroe. Halsman created a philosophy of jumping photography which he later called jumpology. He then published another book in 1059 called philippe Halsman jump book which contained a discussion of jumpology and 178 photographs of celebrity jumpers.
