Study Notes
Early Photography
- Italian scientist Angelo Sala discovered silver nitrate darkened in sunlight in the 17th century.
- German professor Johann Heinrich Schulze in 1712 demonstrated darkening of silver chloride by light in experiments.
- This showed light could darken silver compounds, a crucial step in photographic development.
Thomas Wedgwood's Experiments
- English scientist Thomas Wedgwood (around 1800) experimented with recording images using camera obscura.
- His efforts to capture images were unsuccessful in producing permanent prints.
- He focused on making negative images, a significant step in the progress of photography.
Humphrey Davy's Work
- English scientist Humphrey Davy continued with silver chloride experiments.
- Similar to Schulze, his results using silver chloride weren't permanent.
Nicéphore Niépce's Breakthrough
- French lithographer Nicéphore Niépce (around 1824) successfully created a relatively permanent image.
- He used a camera obscura and a pewter plate coated with asphalt to produce his first image. This is the Heliogravure process.
- This process is similar to lithography.
1826 - Further Development
- Nicéphore Niépce, in 1826, experimented further, attempting to produce a print.
