The first picture ever taken with a pinhole camera was in 1827 Joseph Nicephore Niepce made the first photographic image with a pinhole camera, or camera obscura. Since the pinhole camera there have been many other inventions that over time have developed into the technology we see today. Although Joseph Nicephore Niepce’s invention was amazing at the time, unfortunately the picture would soon fade away. From this Louis Daguerre took many years working on shortening the exposure time needed from 8 hours to 30 minutes and found a way to stop the picture from fading. In 1839 Louis and Joseph came together to create something even better. Then came the negative to positive then tintypes to wet plate negatives and dry plate negatives to hand held camera’s, flexible roll film, to an amazing new development of colour photographs, Photographic films, photographic prints, Daguerreotype Cameras, box camera’s, flashlight powder, flashbulbs, 35 millimetres, Polaroid or instant photo’s, disposable camera’s and finally to the technology of today… digital camera’s.
