Concerning biological aspects, evolution is the alteration of
genes in a specific organism from one generation to another. This resulted to
hereditary and the formation of new traits of that specie.
Based on the
theory of evolution proposed by Charles Darwin, we all started from a single
cell. The gradually, it developed and modified to be various species. And
humans, originated from Homo’s or monkeys became sophisticated and more
advanced over a period of time until we get to this stage.
Maybe in
some, there was no change happened but just like the theory of evolution;
photography has also gone through this stage. And as I was doing my research, I
have come crossed this article The Evolution of
the Camera by Amanda White. It talked about the important happenings and
persons involved on the history of photography or specifically the advancement
of camera in successive generations.
Here is to some up:
·
1827- first camera
was invented when Joseph Nicephore made the first fixed image
·
1837- establishment of the first permanent photograph
by Louis-Jacques Mande Daguerre and Joseph Nicephore
·
1940- production of the first colored photographs
·
1948- the release of the first Polaroid camera in the
market
·
1960- introduction of the first underwater camera to
the public
·
1986- creation of disposable cameras
·
1981- at last, the invention of first digital camera
Cameras can still be improved as
years pass by because of our modern technology and getting wider knowledge
about these things. Unlike what happened to humans in the theory of evolution
where scientists asked why we stop from evolving when we get to this stage, is
evolution really true? Well for photography, this can be true. After digital
cameras, we now have cameras on our cell phones, iPhones, tablets and many
other gadgets which make it more accessible. For professional photographers,
there are now lots of SLR and DSLRs in the market together with lenses which
improved the quality of images or photographs.
Checked!
