colour photography

1) can you find Image evidence of the technique? - 










2) When was it first discovered and by whom? - 
James Clerk Maxwell is credited with the first colour photograph in 1861. His technique is still the basis of colour photography today. The first color plate made from Autochrome,reached the market in 1907. It was based on a 'screen-plate' filter made of dyed dots of potato starch and was invented by French Lumière brothers.n 1935, American Kodak introduced the first modern (integrated tri-pack) color film, Kodachrome, based on three colored emulsions

3) What is special about the technique? - what is so special about this technique is that it can show the true colours oif where it was taken and instead of having black and white.. it is very clever and is amazing on how much it is used. almost every picture you will see now is in colour and you can edit them into different colours... 

4) How does this technique work? Can you find or describe the processes needed to make it work? Maybe illustrate how it is made. - the inventer Maxwell showed that if you take 3 B&W slides taken through a Red, Green and Blue filters, then project those same slides back through the three filters you get a colour picture. the three colours are dyer layers within the film, there is a B&W layer that takes the photograph and then acts as an contatc print...

5) Can you comment how important this technique has been for the history of photography. For example was it popular and is it still used today? - this technique is so important for everyone now. it has taken a big part in peoples lifes and now they live around colour photography. it has been used ever since it got invented and up to this day is still used massivly. in the past some amazing images have been taken in colour and i think that it is very important to our history that colour was around then..

Digital photogrphy

1) Can you find Image evidence of the technique? -
























2) When was it first discovered and by whom? - the first digital photo to be taken and work happened in 1951 and the inventer of this was Steven Sasson

3) What is special about the technique? - what is so special about this technique is that it can take a real life upfront snap and it will show it how it was with the exact placings as when was taken. it is so important in today's life and many people rely on them working for thier jobs.. they have come such a long way since it was invented and now looks more real then ever... 

4) How does this technique work? Can you find or describe the processes needed to make it work? Maybe illustrate how it is made. -digital photography is a form of photography that uses an array of light sensitive sensors to capture the image focused by the lens, as opposed to an exposure on light sensitive film. The captured image is then stored as a digital file ready for digital processing e.g.colour correction, sizing, cropping, viewing or printing...

5) Can you comment how important this technique has been for the history of photography. For example was it popular and is it still used today?. - i think that digital photography is so important to photographers in todays age because a lot of important pictures and meaningful pictures would of never of been taken. it was used when it was first invented and is still in use today. most family's will have a camera and mainly all of them will be digital...

daguerreotype

1. Can you find Image evidence of the technique? - when i saw a picture of the moon in a Daguerreotype photo i didnt see a difference in pictures and i woudlnt be able to tell or not if it is... 
2. When was it first discovered and by whom? - the Daguerreotype was invented in 1839 and was invented by Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerr.
3. What is special about the technique?- what is so special about this technique is that it iss hand made and looks very simple. he was a very clever man and knew what he was doing.
4. How does this technique work? Can you find or describe the processes needed to make it work? Maybe illustrate how it is made. They are made on polished silver, so they are reflective, much like a mirror. Because silver is subject to tarnish, daguerreotypes were sealed with paper tape behind glass plates so that they were not exposed to air and corrupted that is how they are made and they do look simpe but are not. they consist on a lot of hard work and preperation.. 
5. Can you comment how important this technique has been for the history of photography. For example was it popular and is it still used today?-  the technique has been very important to the history of photography for years as for ome time this is how you could see a picture. it was very popular and it is clever because it looks 3 dimentional and can only copy the picture once. it  still used today and is still used in the same way today.
