4. Write up your notes into three mini reports (min 150 words each). Each report should contain details of the following.
· Historical Origins and developments within the industry
The Calotype method had more advantages and was further developed. By the end of the 1840s an inventor out of the Niepce family, Niepce de Saint-Victor, changed the paper negative for a piece of glass covered with starch glue and a layer of egg whites. The layer was made photosensitive by silver salts.
In 1851 Englishman S. Archer covered the glass with collodion. Positives started to be printed on albumin paper. Photos could be printed in more than one copy.
In about 20 years Richard Maddox proposed a shot on dry bromine-gelatin plates. This improvement made photography closer to the modern version.
In 1873 H..Vogel manufactured orthochromatic plates. Later on an anastigmatic lens was designed.
In 1889 D. Eastman (the founder of Kodak) started the production of celluloid film.
In 1904 the first color photography plates were produced by the Lumiere firm.
The photography of our day is a science of itself and an art,and the way it is recorded, artistic vocation, and different kinds of applied activity.
