VIII.
IX. The Arrival of Reflex Cameras A. Equipped for Any Eventually 1. Photographer Paul Almasy, used Nikon for long trip around world 2. Camera helped photographers be prepared for any photo opportunity B. Modern Studio Photography 1. Hasselblad¶s 120 roll camera made higher quality photos 2. Lens framing extremely accurate X. Anatomy of 35-mm SLR camera A. How a Classic 35-MM SLR Camera Works 1. Light enters camera through lens, picture can be previewed 2. Mirror flips for light to focus on film, exposure made B. Data Display 1. LCD screens show what camera is doing 2. Shutter speed works right aperture

Conclusion: Camera¶s developed a new form of art known as photography. People such as the Dutch artist Vermeer and Fox Talbot from a long time ago, made photography popular. They and many others were able to develop new cameras and artistic photography styles. More and more people started to do photography themselves and discovered new techniques that are still being used today. Also, photo tricks and effects were created to make pictures look more interesting. More advanced cameras like Canon EOS and Sony EVIL NEX3 wouldn¶t be possible. It¶s interesting how such a well known form of art began so long ago and has gotten better over the years.

It was late in the day. The sun was setting in the far distance, causing the sky to turn a dark peach tone. The doves were huddled into small nests, trying to keep each other warm from the cold breeze running through the forest. The mountains had a lavender hue to them which made the dark green pines look even more beautiful. The sweet smell of jade green grass and blossoms blow in the wind. The young boy smiles and holds down the red button of his camera, squinting into the small screen to get a closer view. He¶d been waiting for this moment all day. The familiar hiss of his camera comes right before the bright flash goes across his target. He looks down at the image on his camera and smiles. It was perfect. The development of the camera had started long ago. Right around the years of 1632, the art of photography was developed. Dutch artist Vermeer was one of the first to do this form of art. He was well known for his spectacular lighting in photographs. He was one of the first to use camera tricks to make his images look brighter and better. Of course, over the years cameras got more advanced. The development had started slowly, beginning with the table top camera obsuras. This camera was mainly built to make photos more focused. This was done by using sliding mechanisms inside the camera. It didn¶t take long until photography got more popular. The beginning photographers were pioneers such as Joseph Niecpe. He had studied photography for awhile and became very interested in it. He was interested enough to create the world¶s first permanent photograph. Sadly, the man died soon with his work unrecognized. Yet, this man¶s death didn¶t phase the enhancements of photography. Using cameras became more popular when the first publicity camera was created. This was known as the Daguerreotype Camera. This light powered camera was created by Persian Alphonse Giroux in 1839. Photo effects began to be used on more pictures a bit later. One man in particular by the name of Fox Talbot, he was a mathematician and amateur scientist that created the first ³negative photo.´ He had soaked sheets of writing paper in salt and silver nitrate solution to give white and black effect. He also published the first photography based book known as The Pencil of Nature. Daylight was one of the most important parts of photography. It helped create exposure in images to make them better. Fox Talbot was able to set up studio portraits, takes photographs, and make contact prints from one place. He had many people come to his studios to have their picture taken. Photography was almost like getting your picture painted, but it took less time and was less expensive. Doctor Richard Maddox, amateur photographer and English doctor, had helped produce an easier way to take photos. He had coated glass plates with silver bromide in gelatin, a substitute for collodion. In 1890, the new camera known as the Fallowfield Facile camera was created. This was a large wooden box that took images through sliding glass plates inside of it. Most photography was taken of people. P.H Emerson photographed natural scenes instead of artificial subjects. He did most of his photo editing by hand. He often used soft focus effects, textured paper, and hand tinting in his pictures. Another photographer known as Henry Peach Robinson was a large influence in the High Art Movement. He had created many prints of his work. With the rising popularity of photography, cameras had to be made at a more affordable price. George Eastman was a man born in the New York State, 1854. His main goal happened to be to make photography ³convenient as a pencil.´ This was when the well known label Kodak was introduced. The photos were printed by 2.5 x 1.6 in. This small camera became rather popular among people of middle class.

Early cameras had no view finders. This problem was solved by using shutters. Shutters were closed and photographic film was loaded once photographer was satisfied. Leica
cameras were described as first miniature cameras. Since it was so light weight and convenient, it was a popular choice for photographers. Small cameras were used more when they were created. Photographer Paul Almasy, used Nikon for long trip around world. Nikon cameras helped photographers be prepared for any photo opportunity. Hasselblad¶s 120 roll camera made higher quality photos. Due to the lens framing being extremely accurate, the photos came out better. New camera known as SLR camera was then created. The camera worked by having light enter through lens and have picture can be previewed. The exposure is made by having a mirror flip for light to focus on film. The LCD allows the photographer to see what the camera is doing. Shutter speed works right aperture. Soon, the night began to fall. The large white moonlight shone across the grass and boy¶s home. That was when the boy had realized he had been taking pictures all day. He turns on his heel to head home but turns around suddenly. He positions his camera in front of his face, squinting on eye. Snap! The moon was now a permanent image on his camera. Now his day was complete.
