Camera History


The camera was invented by Joseph Nicephore Niepce, a retired French army officer, who made the world�s first true photograph of a scene. The camera was invented in 1826 in St-Loup-de-Varennes, France.

Niepce�s camera 'Obscura' consisted of two wooden boxes, one carrying a lens and the other a ground-glass screen. The boxes were connected by bellows so that the distance between the lend and screen could be varied. Also he invented an iris diaphragm which could be adjusted to vary the size of the aperture and thus sharpen the image. Also by using a sheet of paper which had been sensitized with silver chloride as the negative.

The invention of the camera has developed dramatically over the years. Such development are making the camera portable (developed first by Friedrich Risner, German mathematician), improvement in the films, electronic flash (invented in 1931 by Harold E Edgeron, American photographer), colour photograph(taken in 1861 by English photographer Tomas Sutton, also invented the single-lens reflex camera) and many more.
