  • Silver Nitrate: Building the Photographic Revolution
    While it is accepted that the first photograph was probably taken earlier, the official invention of photography was made in 1839 by French artist and chemist Louis J.M. Daguerre. In partnership with Joseph Nicphore Nipce, they expanded upon a discovery made by Johann Heinrich Schultz in 1724 regarding how a certain silver nitrate and chalk mixture darkened when exposed to light. The daguerreotype, or earliest type of photograph, was born.
  • Photography Lighting Tips Illuminate Tough Problems
    One of the biggest challenges for photographers whether professional or amateur has always been lighting. Lighting leaves people second guessing themselves about such issues as over-exposure with a flash or the existence of good available light. Certainly, with digital cameras that allow you to appraise the images you have taken, the results can be seen immediately, but eliminating problems can still be difficult.
  • Professional Photography Degrees Fit You For a Fabulous Career
    All too often people come up with a lot of misconceptions about professional photographers. They often think photographers are privileged, having access to people and events others just dream about. They may think that photographers are always heading off to tropical destinations for photo shoots. They look at photographers and wonder how they scored such a luxurious job, just carrying around a camera and shooting pictures all day.
  • Digital Camera Tips Are Great When Choosing a Camera
    Digital cameras have been around a long while now, but there are still some real 35mm fans out there who have resisted the switch. While 35mm is still perfectly useful, it is hard to argue with some of the advantages of digital. Digital cameras allow you to immediately view the pictures you take, and with the software programs available on most computers, the possibilities for amendment and digital manipulation of photographs is practically limitless. There is a lot of confusing information, however, about which digitals are best.
  • Photography Skills For a Lifetime
    Most people think that photography did not come about until the mid-1800s, and in a sense, they are right, but many discoveries that made today's photography possible came far earlier. The first camera invented, in fact, was a pinhole camera made by Ibn al Haytham (965-1040). The important discovery of silver nitrate by Albertus Magnus came in the 13th century, followed later by silver chloride. In 1694, the photochemical effect of light on chemicals was earliest described by Wilhelm Homberg.
  • Photography Courses: Improve Your Shots Dramatically
    From a pretty early age, most people like to take pictures. It is fun to capture the faces and places you love on film. Most people never get serious about photography. They are glad to have a camera that lets them take basic shots, and they just shrug when a head gets cut off or an image is blurry. Others, however, are frustrated with their inability to make their pictures turn out like the gorgeous photographs in magazines. They want more from their cameras, possibly even a career.
