Any idea what the Word Photography means ? __________________________________
Photography means
“drawing with light”• In Greek Photos Graphos = Light Writing
Term was presented by Sir John Herschel (English, 1792-1871). There were other name contenders. The Latin would have been Lux Scribe. Luckily, “Hi I’m a luxscribepher” just didn’t take off, but the use and importance of the invention of photography and its applications did.
What did the invention of photography require?
Human Ingenuity: MYP area of Interaction
Inventing took Time and Science, requiring• Optics = curved lenses, camera obscura • Chemistry = light sensitive materials• Communication = letters, personal visits
Optics
Camera Obscura, Pin Hole Camera
Before the invention of optics in the 1600s, Camera Obscura was just a hole in a wall or tent and the projected inverted image on an opposite wall.
It was awkward to view an unsharp and inverted image.
