The brief meaning of photography

Referred to as camera, it is to use a camera to image the negative, print the negative into a single photo, and keep them one by one for permanent preservation. But the image of the photo is static and silent, just to let people watch its characters and artistic conception, and then understand its meaning.

Today, the earliest existing photos in the world can be traced back to 1827, which was taken by the Frenchman Joseph Nipps. As early as 2000 years ago, our people discovered the phenomenon of pinhole imaging. During the European Renaissance, black box devices for imaging appeared. Later, people discovered silver nitrate and other substances with photosensitive properties.

1826, French craftsman Nipps melted an asphalt and coated it on a metal plate. After being exposed in the black box, he got a street view photo. 1837, Frenchman Daguerre invented "silver disk photography".

1839, the French government bought the patent right of this invention, which was officially announced on August 19 of the same year, so this day was designated as the birth date of photography. It took 20 to 30 minutes to take a photo in this way at that time.

185 1 year, the Englishman Archer invented "wet photography", which shortened portrait photography to only a few seconds, thus becoming the beginning of modern photography. 1787 Daguerre was born in the northern French town of Comey. When he was young, he was an artist. When he was about thirty-five, he designed a western-style mirror to show a panoramic picture with special lighting effects. While doing this work, he became interested in a landscape device that can automatically reproduce the world without brushes and pigments-in other words, a camera. Previously, Daguerre tried to invent a usable camera, but failed.

He met Joseph Nissefer Nepsey at 1827. He has been trying to invent the camera, and in a sense he has succeeded. Two years later, they became partners.

1833 Niepce died, but Daguerre continued his efforts. 1837, he successfully invented a practical photography called Daguerre photography.

1August 839 19, Daguerre announced his technology to the world, but he didn't get the patent right. However, the French government offered a lifelong gift to the sons of Daguerre and Nipps as a reward. The announcement of Daguerre's invention caused a great sensation among the public. Daguerre became a generation of heroes, enjoying all the splendor. At the same time, Daguerre photography was quickly and widely used.

Daguerre himself retired soon and died in his hometown near Paris in 185 1.
