CHAPTER 1 Flashcards
A Chinese Philosopher who is mentioned in the first surviving principles behind the pinhole camera or camera obscura
Mozi “Mo - ti”
He was the one who succeeded in recording the principle that light entering through a small hole produces an inverted image or figure
Aristotle
He used the darkened room in observing the solar eclipse by entering a darkroom with a pinhole opening to avoid harming the eye
Alhazen “Ibn Al-Haytham”
He wrote a book entitled “La Practica Della Perspettiva” on the perspective of architects and artists.
Daniele Matteo Alvise Barbaro (1568)
He wrote a book entitled “La Practica Della Perspettiva” on the perspective of architects and artists.
Daniele Alvise Barbaro (1568)
The one who discovered and proved that the strongest light is white light. He defended his theory by allowing a white light pass through a prism thus refracting and diffracting the light on the different colors.
Sir Isaac Newton (1666)
He discovered the Silver Nitrate when he exposed it to light it turns purple. This finding is sensitive to light and capable of producing images
Johann Heinrich Schulze (1727)
He had made that the use of Camera Obscura replaced the hole with a lens which makes the image brighter and sharper and was the first one who introduced the lens.
Jean Baptiste Forta (1748-1796)
He discovered that Silver Chloride is more sensitive than Silver Nitrate and thus more capable of recording and producing images.
Thomas Wedgewood (1802)
He was able to obtain camera images on papers sensitized with silver chloride solution in 1816 which he called this process as Heliography that requires 8 hours of light exposure.
Joseph Nicephore Niepce (1816)
He coined the term photographie
Hercules Florence (1834)
He invented Daguerreotype an early photograph that produced on a silver covered copper plate.
Louis Jacques Daguerre (1837)
He succeeded in contact printings made in his miniature cameras (mouse-trap cameras) through a process called photogenic drawing
William Henry Fox Talbot (1839)
He invented a process called Calotype a photographic process by which a large number of prints could be produced from a paper negative (3 - 15 minutes).
William Henry Fox Talbot (1839)
He invented a process called Calotype a photographic process by which a large number of prints could be produced from a paper negative (3 - 15 minutes).
William Henry Fox Talbot (1839)
He also discovered the latent image, the invisible product of a short exposure which could be chemically developed.
William Henry Fox Talbot (1839)
He coined the term Photography
John Frederick William Herschel (1839)
He made improvements in photographic processes particularly in inventing Cyanotype using Ferric Ammonium Citrate and Potassium Ferricyanide (the precursors of the modern blueprint process)
John Frederick William Herschel (1839)
