History of Photography

I learned about how the first digital camera was invented and how long it really took. I thought it was interesting that it took about 23 seconds to fully complete the process of taking a picture and having it saved to the memory card. I also learned about how Jill Corson made her pictures her own and expressed her unique style. She made a camera lens with it’s own filter that included glass and mirror. Her photography is more mystical than scientific. Another thing I learned was how the tintype photos were photographed. They were on a metal surface and they would appear as a positive image when put on a dark background.
