History of Photography

The First Camera
Photography started since the 5th-century B.C.E. In the 11th-century, an Iraqi scientist developed camera obscura. The first camera obscura used a pinhole to project an image.


The First Permanent Images
Photography began in the late 1830s in France. Joseph Nicéphore Niépce did the first recorded image.

Daguerreotype
The result from Niépce's experiment was a forerunner of modern film. To create the image, the Daguerreotypes had to be exposed to light for up to 15 minutes. The Daguerreotype was popular until in the late 1850s.

Emulsion Plates
The wet plates that took less time than Daguerreotypes. It used the Collodion process. The Two types were the ambrotype and the tintype. It was much more sensitive to light. The Civil War photographs were produced on wet plates.

Dry Plates
Richard Maddox made dry gelatine plates. It allowed photographers more freedom to take photographs. Cameras were able to be smaller.

Camera For Everyone
George Eastman started a Kodak in the 1880s. He created a flexible roll film and a small single lens. The custumer had to send the camera back for printing the film.

The Horrors of War
Many photojournalists adopted their style duling World War II. Joel Rosenthal's photograph has started since World War I.

The Wonder of Instant Images
Polaroid introduced the Model 95, which develop film inside the camera in less than a minute.

Advanced Image Control
Asahi introduced the Asahiflex and Nikon introduced its Nikon F camera in the 1950s.

Introducing Smart Cameras
The point and shoot cameras calculated shutter speed, aperture, and focus.

The Digital Age
In 1991, Kodak had produced the first digital camera and the following Canon, Nikon, Pentax cameras.

I think the The First Camera is the most significant because it was the starter of the evolution of the camara/photograph. It created the idea of camera and to take a picture. It made us to have the other camera development.

Landscape and Cityscape Photography

What is the Golden Hour?
The golden hour is a period shortly after sunrise or before sunset during which daylight is redder and softer than when the Sun is higher in the sky.  

Explain the difference between the Foreground, Middleground and Background. 

  • The foreground of a composition is the visual plane that appears closest to the viewer
  • The background is the plane in a composition percieved furthest from the viewer. 
  • The middleground is the visual plane located between both the foreground and background.

What is the difference between Landscape and Cityscape photography?
Landscape photography shows spaces within the world, sometimes vast and unending, but other times microscopic.

Cityscape is an artistic representation, such as a painting, drawing, print or photograph, of the physical aspects of a city or urban area.

List 5-10 helpful hints when shooting landscape photography.
  1. The golden hours
  2. Shoot in RAW
  3. Use a tripod
  4. Follow the light
  5. Get perfect colour using white balance
  6. Maximise the depth of field
  7. Try using a wide-angle lens
  8. Composition
  9. Go wide for impact
Upload a landscape photo.  Explain why you chose it and what you think the photographer did to get the image.  Describe time of day/night, angle of shot, weather, panoramic mode, lines, patterns, etc.
I chose this landscape photo because the lighting is very nice and looks bright. It shows the reflection of water and the shadow of mountain. I think the photographer used a wide-angle lens to get this image, and I think the photographer shot it in the afternoon that have lots of light. He used the straight angle. The weather is sunny. He didn't use panaramic mode and the photo show the lines by the mountains in the background.

List 5-10 helpful hints when shooting cityscape photography
  1. Right After Sunset is a Fantastic Time for Cityscape Shots
  2. Capture the Whole Skyline with a Wide Angle Lens
  3. Use Your Camera’s Self-timer and a Tripod for Crisp Results
  4. Look for Those Leading Lines
  5. In the Evening, Look for Good Vantage Points Over Busy Intersections
  6. Just like Rivers are Great in Landscapes, Fountains are Great in Cityscapes
  7. Look for Patterns
  8. Don’t Be Afraid to Include Pedestrians in the Shot
  9. When Tripods Aren’t Allowed – Improvise
  10. See Bad Weather as an Opportunity (Carefully)
Upload a cityscape photo.  Explain why you chose it and what you think the photographer did to get the image.  Describe time of day/night, angle of shot, weather, panoramic mode, lines, patterns, etc.  
I chose this cityscape photo because I like the sunset in the background and light from the tower. The photographer shot this photo by he was in the high-rise building or some place which was upland. He may use a wide-angle lens. He shot this photo in the evening so we can see the sunset. He used the straight angle and the weather was clear so we can see the tower far away. He didn't use a panoramic mode.

Write your plan for Landscape/Cityscape Photography. Answer the following questions:

I am going to shoot a landscape photography of lots of trees and lake. I would like to see a reflection of those tree on the lake.

In the afternoon that the light is very bright.
From what angle?  
The straight angle.

Where could you utilize lines/patterns/etc?  
I would like to utilize it by the trees in the background.
