Who was the first person to create paper negatives in a camera obscura?

The "camera obscura" (dark chamber) was a technique for projecting an image into a darkened space or container, using a pinhole and later a lens. The technique was known to scholars of ancient Greece, Arabia, India, and China, as early as the 5th century BC.


Why did joesph niepce invent photography?

He couldn't draw. Seriously. When Niepce was alive, a popular artist's tool was the "camera obscura." If you know what a pinhole camera is, you're one step ahead of the game here. Instead of using film, the camera obscura had a sheet of really thin paper in it. An image appeared on the paper; to make it permanent you traced it with a pencil. Niepce didn't have a steady-enough hand to make good tracings, so he invented a way to make the camera do the work for him.


What is the process of getting an image onto paper using a film camera?

How did Joseph Nicephore Niece invent the camera?

The world's earliest known image created exclusively by the action of light was Joseph-Nicéphore Niepce's 1827 photograph of a tree, barn and building. Known as "The View from the Window at La Gras", the image was captured using a Camera Obscura, a device generally credited to Ibn al-Haytham (965-1039 AD). To create the photograph, Niepce focused an inverted image onto a light-sensitized pewter plate coated with a type of asphalt known as Bitumen of Judea. According to some estimates, this photograph required something between several hours and several days to expose.

Who was the first man to invent a camera?

It partly depends on what you mean by camera; the first camera obscura (a room sized pinhole camera) was invented by Ibn al-Haytham in the 10th century. The first photograph was taken in 1826 by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce using a box camera.


How made the first camera?

There was no identifiable first maker of a camera, unless you specify photographic camera, for which the answer would be Nicephore Niepce, in 1816. The camera obscura (dark chamber) was first described in detail in the early 11th century by an Arab scholar named Alhazen (Hassan Ibn Alhaitham or Hassan Ibn Hassan), as a device for safely viewing solar eclipses. The earliest record of a suggestion for a portable camera obscura dates to 1606 (Friedrich Reisner), and Athanasius Kircher illustrated a portable camera obscura in his Ars Magna in 1646. A smaller camera obscura is described by Kaspar Schott in 1657, and an example built by him. Johann Zahn described a number of very small portable cameras in 1685, by which date the device is considered to have been ready and waiting for the invention of photography (see Gernsheim). The first camera obscura put to photographic use was made in 1816 by Joseph Nicephore Niepce, who took the first negatives on sensitized paper, but was unable to fix the images. The first permanent photo was made using a camera in 1826 by Niepce.

Can you open the back of your film camera while using a roll of film or will it damage the film?

No, you must wait until the roll is finished, because you cannot expose film to sunlight.

Is it possible to be a photographer if you don't use a camera?

Yes (of course, whatever you use will effectively become a camera, but I digress). Basically, a camera is a light-tight box with a hole in it that allows light to enter the box in such a way that it strikes a film cell and leaves an emulsion or impression of light that, when developed, makes a picture. You can look up "pin hole cameras" on Wikipedia or Google and find out how the process of taking pictures without a proper camera has been going on for a very long time.
