How long did it take to take a picture with the first cameras?

Answer 1

This depends on what you mean by the first photo. Many people came up with impermanent photos using a camera abscura.The first photo of known permanance took all afternoon,this is thought to be indicated by the fact that there are no shadows and the seen is lit in a way that there would have been shadows, in places where there should be ,had it been a faster shot. Also,the chemicals used are slow to react.The medium was bismith of judea and lavender oil,it was taken in the begining of the 19th century.

Answer 2

Call me a nit-picker, but the camera obscura was not really a camera in the sense that it was not invented for the purpose of making photographs, and cameras don't develop pictures. If you're asking how long it took to make the first permanent exposure, it was about 8 hours.

That being said, the camera obscura was used to make the first permanent photographic image (an image taken in nature). The first permanent image was a reproduction of an engraving and was a heliograph, not a true photograph.
