    The origins of the cameras we use today were invented in the 19th century. Or were they? A millenia before, Arab scientist Alhazen was using the camera obscura to duplicate images, with Leonardo da Vinci following suit 500 years later and major innovations beginning in the 19th century. Eva Timothy tracks the trajectory from the most rudimentary cameras to the ubiquity of them today.
    Lesson by Eva Timothy, animation by London Squared Productions.

    Excellent piece. Here's more of a question than a criticism, though: what about Nicéphore Niépce with his View from the Window from 1826? Doesn't he predate Daguerre?

      he does yes, though watching one video won't make up for research.

    I would have liked to see at least the mention of Joseph Nicephore Niepce.

  • @amahler03
    @amahler03 11 років тому +9

    Yes, Daguerre was actually Niepce's assistant and Niepce was the true inventor of photography. A lot of people give credit to Herschel, Talbot, and Daguerre. I have trouble finding videos with the correct information.

    Alhazen was born in 965, which is in the 10th century. He did much of his optical research in the early 11th century.

      In another informative video the individual talks about it being used in the 400BC by a Chinese individual. :O

    Amazing invention. They should do one on videos, and then on sound! :-)

  • @mrfoxtalbot
    @mrfoxtalbot 11 років тому +1

    Not wanting to sound partisan here, but Daguerre´s method was only successful in the decades inmediately after the invention but by the 1860 it was a dead end (except, funny enough in some parts of the US). The wet plate method has actually more to do with Talbot´s process.

  • @williamwilson6499
    @williamwilson6499 11 років тому +1

    Incorrect. Movies made on film are a series of photos but not videos. Image sensors essentially create a magnetic field that is used to arrange magnetic particles on the tape to line up according to the frequencies coming from the sensors. This is a linear process. It's more complicated than this but there's not enough room for details...just research it online.

  • @mrfoxtalbot

    Ah, I almost forgot, John Herschel also happened to be the one who suggested using the world "Photography".

    I´m missing a lot of people here. What about Niepce or Wedgewood? But even more important, you completely left out John Hershel, the guy who suggested using hypo to fix the images, as well as introducing the words "positive" and "negative" and inventing his own process, the cyanotype.
