Want to learn something about photography this morning? I woke up this morning and discovered the timeline of the history of photography. One thing I also learned today was that the word "photography" came from the greek words photos which means "light," and graphein which means "to draw."Pretty interesting. Below is a snippet from the National Geographic website that gives you a timeline and images of the history of photography. You should take a look by clicking on the link ... Very interesting. Enjoy!
1826: First Permanent Image: French inventor Joseph Nicéphore Niépce uses a camera obscura to burn a permanent image of the countryside at his Le Gras, France, estate onto a chemical-coated pewter plate. He names his technique "heliography," meaning "sun drawing." The black-and-white exposure takes eight hours and fades significantly, but an image is still visible on the plate today.
