HISTORICAL EVENTS

OVERVIEW : The history of photography has roots in remote antiquity and discovery by
many personalities or scientist with the principle of the Camera Obscura and the
observation that some substances are visibly altered by exposure to light.

OBJECTIVES: The students will be able to understand the birth of photography

PROCEDURE: Write the specific contributions of all the following personalities in the boxes
provided below:

NAMES CONTRIBUTIONS
Hassan bin al Haitham invented a working model of camera
obscura that worked on the principles of
light. This camera constructed the projection
of objects when light from objects entered in
the hole of the camera. The entered light
then projected the inverted image of the
actual object inside the camera.
Aristotle He viewed the crescent shape of a partially eclipsed
sun projected on the ground through the holes in a
sieve and through the gaps between the leaves of a
plane tree. In the 4th century BC, Aristotle noted that "
sunlight travelling through small openings between the
leaves of a tree, the holes of a sieve, the openings
wickerwork, and even interlaced fingers will create
circular patches of light on the ground." Euclid's Optics
(c. 300 BC) mentioned the camera obscura as a
demonstration that light travels in straight lines

Leonardo da Vinci
worked with was the camera
obscura, a darkened room much
like is shown above, which aided
drawing people and scenes
accurately when they were in bright
sunlight.

Girolamo Cardano
was one of the first (1550) to write
about the use of the biconvex lens as
an improvement in relation to the
camera obscura.
Giovanni Battista dela Porta an Italian scholar, wrote an essay on how to use
camera obscura to make the drawing process
easier. He projected the image of people
outside the camera obscura on the canvas
inside of it (camera obscura was a rather big
room in this case) and then drew over the image
or tried to copy it.

Daniel Barbaro advocated the use of the camera obscura as


an aid to drawing and perspective. The
camera obscura (Latin for 'dark room')
consisted of a box or room with a hole in one
end. Light enters the hole, and an inverted
image is seen on the opposite wall or side.

Johann Heinrich Schulze Drawing on his understanding of the camera


obscura, as well as the discovery by German
natural philosopher Johann Heinrich Schulze
(1687-1744) that silver salts are light sensitive,
he began experimenting by coating paper with
silver nitrate, then placing it in a camera
obscura and exposing it to the Sun's rays.

Joseph Nicephore Niepce started new research on an idea of


recording an image onto sensitised paper
using a camera obscura. Niepce first
experiment was to position at the back of a
camera obscura sheet of silver salts
coated paper, known to blacken with
daylight.
Louis Jacques Daguerre as an aid to painting in perspective, which led him
to think about ways to keep the image still. In
1826 he discovered the work of Joseph Niépce,
who was working on a technique for stabilizing
images captured with the camera obscura.

William Henry Fox Talbot who helped create and pioneer


photography. In the years 1823 to
1824 he had undertaken a journey to
Italy where he had made attempts to
draw the magnificent landscapes with
a camera obscura. He was not happy
with the results.
Sir John F.W Herschel
The word photography was first coined by
scientist Sir John F.W. Herschel in 1839.
The word comes from two Greek words
meaning “light” (photo) and “to draw”
(graphein).

James Clark Maxwell A revealing experiment introduced the camera obscura


in studies of the half-moon shape of the sun's image
during eclipses which he observed on the wall opposite
a small hole made in the window shutters.
William Abney who used his pinhole camera to
photograph his Egyptian archaeological
digs.
George Eastman
A pinhole camera (also referred to as
a camera obscura) is a simple
camera without a lens and with a
single small aperture – effectively a
light-proof box with a small hole in
one side.
Edwin H. Land was the innovative inventor responsible for
conceiving of and perfecting instant photography.
Known simply as Polaroid, the system
revolutionized traditional photography by
compressing darkroom processes into an integrated
film unit and producing a final photograph in the
seconds following the click of a camera shutter.

REFLECTION:

Among the personalities mentioned, whom do you think really gave a big contribution in
police photography? Why?

In my perspective, George Eastman had the greatest impact on photography. Accessibility to

the masses is nearly always the most significant achievement in any new creation since the
product may finally be obtained at a reasonable cost, enhancing its popularity and insuring

long-term manufacturing.
