History of camera
Mo Ti - 5th century BC Chinese philosopher who noted that a pin hole can form an inverted and focused image when lightpasses
through the hole and into a dark area. He is the first recorded person to have exploited this phenomenon to trace the inverted image to
create a picture.
Aristotle - in 4th century BC, described observing a partial solar eclipse in 330 BC by seeing the image of the sun projected through the
small spaces between the leaves of the tree.
Ibn Al-Haytham (Alhazen) - an Egyptian scientist who wrote about observing a solar eclipse through a pin hole and he described
how a sharper image could be produced by making the opening of the pin hole smaller.
Roger Bacon - English philosopher and Franciscan friar who in his study of optics, included a discussion of the physiology of eyesight,
the anatomy of the eyes and brain and considered light, distance, position, size, direct vision, reflected vision and refraction, mirrors and
lenses.
Johannes Kepler - a German mathematician and astronomer who applied the actual name of camera obscura and later added a lens and
made the apparatus transportable in the form of a tent.
Robert Boyle - a British scientist who, with his assistant Robert Hooke developed a portable camera in the 1660.
Johann Zahn - in 1685, built the first camera obscura that was small enough for practical use as a portable drawing aid because the
only way to preserve the images produced by the camera was to manually trace them.
Joseph Nicephore Niepce - was a french inventor who is noted for producing the first known photographs in 1825 by using a
sliding wooden box camera made by Charles and Vincent Chevalier in Paris.
1920 - the electronic video camera tube was invented, starting a line of development that eventually resulted in digital cameras which
largely supplanted film cameras after the turn of the 21st century.
William Henry Fox Talbot - a British inventor and pioneer of photography. He was the inventor of calotype process, the precursor to
most photographic processes of the 19th and 20th century.

Shutter Cycle - is the process of the shutter opening, closing and resetting to where it is ready to open again.
Shutter - is a device that allows light to pass for a determined period of time for the purpose of exposing photographic film or light sensitive
electronic sensor to light to capture a permanent image of a scene.
Red Eye Effect - is the common appearance of red pupils in color photographs of eyes. It occurs when using a photographic flash very close to
the camera lens in ambient low light.
Photographic Emulsion - is a light sensitive colloid such as gelatin, coated into a substance. In silver gelatin photography, the emulsion
consists of silver halide crystals suspended in gelatin and the substance may be glass, plastic film, paper or fabric.
