Do you want to learn more about the history of photography? Photography is a very old art form. It has been around for centuries and it's still going strong today. This timeline will take you on a journey through time, showing you how this amazing technology evolved over time. You'll see that there are many different types of cameras out there, some with lenses and some without. Some use film while others don't even need film at all! There are so many things to discover in this world of photography - let's get started!

1. When
was the
camera
invented?

2. Camera
Obscura: 500
BCE - 1600 CE

3. Camera
Obscura:
500 BCE -
1600 CE
In the past, artists used a tool called
" camera obscura" which projected
an image onto paper or canvas. This
allowed them to easily draw
landscapes and renderings of
architecture that were accurate
even without any outside sources
for reference material; this idea
dates back hundreds if not
thousands years ago! The earliest
historical mention I've found so far
was from China where they
describe its use around 500 CE -
but how did our understanding
start?

4. Early Optics:
1400s - 1700s

5. Early Optics: 1400s - 1700s
During the 16th century, artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci created
sketches on how to build a camera obscura. In these papers he
included not just pinholes but also simple glasses lenses which would
be used for viewing objects in bright light without any loss of detail due
both their transparency as well as forming an image erectly by using
rays from each eye one at time through different openings onto what
you're seeing outside so it becomes real life size! It wasn't until
centuries later when people discovered that this device could
photographs too - thanks again astronomer who came up with film first.

6. Developing a
Film Timeline:
1604 - 1827

7. Developing
a Film
Timeline:
1604 -
1827
Johannes Kepler, an astronomer and
generally all around smart guy gets
credit for coining the term photograph in
1604. He was referring to using
telescopic optics when you project light
onto paper or canvas so that stars can
be drawn upon it with ease by looking
through your own two eyes! In 1717,
Johann Heinrich Schulze discovered that
when exposed to light his solution would
darken. The problem now was how do
you stop this process? He found out if
you put a transparent layer over the
image it would become fixed and not
change any more!

8. THE FUTURE BELONGS
TO THOSE WHO
BELIEVE IN THE BEAUTY
OF THEIR DREAMS.
— Eleanor Roosevelt
