1727 - The discovery that silver nitrate changes

Johann Heinrich Schulz discovered that a substance called silver nitrate would change colour when exposed to light. This paved the way for the first pictures to be taken and processed.

1814 - The camera obscura is developed

Joseph Niepce developed the camera obscura and took the first photo with it. It wasn't ideal, though, because it took 8 hours of light exposure to make a picture, and the picture faded with time.

1837 - The Daguerreotype was invented

Louis Daguerre invented a new way to take pictures. It only needed 30 minutes of light exposure, and the image didn't fade with time. Louis Daguerre devised the daguerreotype, the first successful form of permanent photography.

1841 - Making multiple copies possible

William Henry Talbot developed the c. This made it possible to make multiple copies of the samepicture.

With the negative image, Fox Talbot realised he could repeat the process of printing from the negative. Consequently, his process could make any number of positive prints, unlike the Daguerreotypes. He called this the 'calotype' and patented the process in 1841. The following year was rewarded with a medal from the Royal Society for his work.

1851 - Taking pictures gets easier

Taking pictures gets easier

With the new Collodion process, cameras only needed a few seconds of light exposure to make a picture.The collodion process is an early photographic process, invented by Frederick Scott Archer. It was introduced in the 1850s and by the end of that decade it had almost entirely replaced the first practical photographic process, the daguerreotype.

1871 - Film is made easier to handle

Up until this time pictures had to be developed immediately after being taken. Richard Leach Maddox invented the gelatin dry plate silver bromide process, which made it possible to take a picture and develop itlater.
