How Does A Camera Capture Images In The Past Vs. Now?
By Micheala M and Kaitlyn Z 8H

Cameras have changed technologically since they were first invented in the 1800's.

Early History...

• Photography began in the early 10th century.
• It was called the camera of obscura more commonly known as the pinhole camera
• They took the pictures by using a dark box or room that would project images onto a white screen.

1800's History

• They changed the pinhole camera by putting it in a light tight box with a lens that would momentarily record the image
• They were able to produce a paper from the image but the image was not permanet
• They used special paper that would make the images permanet

Late 1800 cameras:

• Cameras were collapsable
• Where ever the photographers went they had to set up a dark room
• The image was transfered inside the camera to a piece of metal where it was fumed with mercury

Digital cameras don't place the picture on paper once taken but are momentarily taken and must be downloaded to your computer.
