Imagistics Imagistics

Early cameras of 16 and 17 centuries, were able to save images on paper or glass but the study of the project for the capture, processing and printing the images took many years. Until the 17th century, scientists believed that light was in fact the "white", which is composed perceived by the human eye. Took the research done by famous physicist Isaac Newton, that light is actually a spectrum of colors from which to explore. While making a great contribution to the study ofOptics (which is the focus of the camera advances) with this discovery, Newton did not really nothing with the development of the camera itself

The first camera, the first has become a phenomenon was a little 'more than a pinhole camera and can be traced back to 1558 and' was called the Camera Obscura. The Camera Obscura was seen as a drawing tool for a more clear and realistic objects. It was in the early 19th century, which introduced an invention called the camera lucida, fromCambridge scientist William Hyde Wollaston, that of an optical device, an artist who could help in a distant scene or person or an object on the surface of the paper was, that he or she draw with. Could be used more effectively to try, in other words, the artist is seen as a superimposed image of an object on the paper and the image, drawing, painting, or a track. Both the camera obscura and camera lucida provided an image that was only temporary, which could not be recorded permanently on paperfor future reference.

Studies, however, to add another 1800, how to effectively capture the image on the material. E 'was created during this period around 1822 that French researcher Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, the first picture with the paper that was coated with a chemical. The picture would not stay permanently on paper and that disappear after a short period of time. However, despite the short-lived nature of the painting, was born the concept of photography with this experiment andpaved the way for further studies and development in this area.

Capture images to keep them longer and permanently became the next big search for researchers. Another Frenchman Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre partnered with Joseph Nicéphore Niépce 1829, to develop the process of creating permanent photographs. Joseph Niepce died in 1833, but Daguerre continued the work, and in 1837 succeeded, after long years of experimentation. The process of photographic recordingImages that were never fade, introduced by Daguerre to the word "daguerreotype."

The word "photography" was coined by scientist Sir John FW Herschel in 1839 and is actually derived from two Greek words photos meaning " 'light' graphein", that is to pull.

A slightly longer version of the daguerreotype process called talbotype that has multiple copies were available, the method gives positive and negative available soonafter. In fact, it was in 1840 that began the use of photographic images in advertisements first and the cameras have left their mark on the power of visual communication. There was not much later, in 1850 began the first experiments with photography underwater photographers seascapes.

Until 1850, the process of capturing images up to a strong demand for a half hour of exposure to light. The discovery made in 1851 by Frederick Scott Archer was a blessing becauseThe new method called the acquisition process Collodion called only for 2-3 seconds of exposure to a photo.

Before 1871, photographers went through a development process where they are used to coat the plate with wet chemical each time, and process the image immediately. With the invention of dry plate process gelatin silver bromide by Richard Leach Maddox, negatives did not have to be developed immediately. This was an important finding because until then the captureImage should be treated immediately.

Kodak created in 1888 by George Eastman was a pioneer of the modern genre in digital cameras and photography for the masses. George Eastman and the scientists who worked with him at Kodak developed photographic film in 1889 and made them into rolls for the mass distribution of consumers. An important stage in our history, entertainment and communication was the development of cling film, roll Eastman. This development has led to another keyInvention - the camera by Thomas Edison in 1891.

-> Modern Times

During the 20th century, the pace of technological development in cameras and photography at an accelerated pace as well as many other important technological developments will continue. While some important inventions such as cars, telephones and the record came in the second half of the 19th century, and in the last 100 years has seen great development in many fields of communication andand other industries - TV, airplanes, computers, digital cameras, cell phones, fax and Internet, to name a few.

If the camera changes to simplify the whole process of photography accessible to one and all at affordable prices, and the camera industry, the inhabitants of our time, has made it a mass phenomenon. The first mass use camera was at the turn of the 20th century, are available and can be traced back to 1900.There are hundreds of camera models available today for both the amateur and the professional and the camera is an important part of the repertoire of every family must have gadget.

-> Chronicle of the 20th century in the history of the camera:

1913: still 35 millimeters camera produces

1927: The flash of General Electric Co. has introduced (The concept of camera flash much sooner, but it was the use of photographic flash powder, which was invented by the German baseResearchers)

1935 - 1941: Kodak starts marketing Kodachrome film and subsequently launches Kodacolor negative. Canon released the Hansa Canon in 1936, the first 35-mm focal plane camera pose.

1948: The concept of Polaroid camera introduced on the market. American scientist Edwin Land developed the process for instant photography. Later Polaroid Corporation developed the film 'instant color' for 1963

1957: Jacques Yves Cousteau invented thefirst waterproof 35mm camera for underwater photography named the Calypso Phot. The actual camera was developed by the Belgian designer Jean de Wouters air on the project and suggestions given to him by Cousteau developed.

1972: The camera electronics, do not require film was created, and patents Texas Instruments' outstanding. This is not the same as a digital camera, if you do not need a film in digital cameras. The launch of the digital camera yetstill many years away.

1975: Kodak's experiments with digital imaging began in the mid-seventies, but it will take another 20 years before a digital camera was launched for the domestic market of consumers.

1978 - 1980: Asian players like Konica and Sony begin to make their mark. The "point and shoot" auto-focus camera launched by Konica while Sony, the camcorder will speak and show a prototype.

1981: Sony launches e-commerceCamera. Similar to the invention of 1972, Texas Instruments, the Sony electronic camera came with a mini disc on which images are captured and stored. Recorded images can later be printed or viewed on a monitor with a reader.

1985: Digital processing technology makes the voice. Digital imaging and processing of Pixar introduced.

1986: The camera industry becomes even more consumer focused and taps the fun and travel connotations behind camera usage, withintroduction of the concept of disposable single-use cameras. Fuji is credited with developing this approach.

Also in 1986 - 1987, Kodak started taking giant strides in the development of digital. Digital means that the photographic image will be divided into small units of dots or squares as points. Pixels are the programmable units of an image that can be processed by a computer. Each image may be millions of pixels. The use of pixels in digital technology allowsStore large amounts of pixel high-definition print quality delivered.

1990: Kodak introduces Photo CD. This is a system of storing photos on CD and then watch them on a computer. With this development the user friendly approach in the field of the camera has started to form concrete.

1991: Kodak has a digital camera for professionals and journalists. Kodak is the invention of a technology-based pixel camera known to us as the digital creditedCamera. Digital cameras do not use film similar to their predecessors electronic cameras, but the storage method is very different and the final image is of much higher resolution. Are recorded in a photograph of the digital camera and stored in digital form. These digital data can be transferred to a computer and processed for printing. Kodak and Canon are well-known manufacturers of digital cameras and there are also some other major brands.

1994: The Apple QuickTake camera, aHome use of digital camera was launched. This is followed by the introduction of a clutch of home digital cameras from Casio, Kodak and others to use in quick succession during 1995 - '96.

-> The digital age

The development of digital camera technology is considered to be related to the development of television and video technology. The principles of transmission and recording of audio-visual images using digital electrical impulses finds a camera and imaging.

During 1990, theThe continuous development of camera technology, the focus now shifted to the field of digital imaging, which is our future. Use services such as software, digital images directly from your camera to download their computers for storing and sharing on the Internet is the new standard put into circulation.

The camera, the computer, the software industry and the World Wide Web today irrevocably authorize the other, the user experience the benefits of the camera for useexploit the full potential. The innovation that has raised many an invention in the camera industry found its way into the digital world as well and continued among digital camera manufacturers. In 2001, Kodak and Microsoft partnership ensured, digital camera manufacturers could use the power of Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) standard through Windows. The experience of digital photography is a key visual in the Internet. Many of Kodak EasyShare digital camera models with capacitiesCompatible with Windows XP. Kodak EasyShare software enables users to images from a digital camera directly from camera to transfer to your computer and then print photos or e-mail.

Producers in related areas, such as the printing industry, its products more suited to be synchronized with the images created by digital cameras. Mobile phone manufacturers have tied up with manufacturers of digital cameras to mobile phones with camera New Age in recent years to develop. These camera phones are ableTo store pictures and share images via mobile phone.

Among the 21 century digital developments are offering advanced digital cameras, manufacturers and are sure to occupy an important place in the subsequent evolution of the camera. For example, the Kodak Professional DCS Pro SLR / c is a high-end digital camera and the Kodak website calls the DCS Pro SLR models the most feature-rich digital cameras on the market. Has an image sensor can handle13.89 million pixels and this makes it the highest resolution digital camera available. High resolution determines the sharpness or level of detail in the picture. This is only an overview of the possibilities that digital technology poses in the hands of a user. Digital camera sales figures for 2003 show that lists the two main protagonists, Kodak and Canon have impressive growth.

-> What does the future hold for camera users?

The characteristics of digital cameras can be offeredcompletely crazy for the average user and pretty exciting for professionals anymore. Four key ongoing camera developments that can improve the process of photography:

1. Increased resolution from even the most simple, low cost camera models

2. Use any type of lighting conditions,

3. Compatibility with a range of software, hardware and image types

4. Rich colors and tone

While the high-end digital evolution continues, the prices of simpleCamera crashed to the point that even children and adolescents are proud owners of uncomplicated cameras. The camera and photography interest starts young and this creates a really large audience base for the industry of the camera.

And throughout history, it is clear that it was the efforts of researchers and developers that the camera is available, a large part of society. Would not be the technology of the camera and photography, the other major developments for cinema and television have beenlate, and this would be a boring place the world have been without TV and movies!
