How photography has changed in the last 200 years

Taking photographs throughout life has been a part of American culture for over a hundred years. The camera was first introduced to the United States in the early 19th century and commercialized later in the century. From the time it was first introduced to the US market until now, the camera and camera technology have changed significantly. Also, with the camera, the elements that hold the photographs have also changed significantly. For example, photo frame lighting is now available to enhance the photos it contains, and there’s also an LED photo light that really emphasizes the photo. Artistic lighting is something that has certainly changed with the technology that comes with the modern camera. However, it is the camera that has dictated these changes in the frames.

The first official camera was invented in 1814. The large, crude machine was used to take black-and-white still-life photographs. Photos almost always came out scratchy and faded, but at the time, this machine was very impressive. Probably no one could have imagined how photography would have changed in the next 200 years.

The next great achievement in photography came with the introduction of color to photographs in 1861. In fact, some photographs from the American Civil War can be found in color. It took a while for color cameras to become available to the public, so for the next thirty years, color photography remained a relatively new revolutionary technology.

When the disposable camera was invented, there was a change in the way of doing photography. This camera allowed travelers to take inexpensive cameras on vacation without having to bring a big, expensive one with them. Also, many of these disposable cameras were made to be waterproof so that people could take pictures underwater on a snorkeling or diving trip.

Then in the world of photography came the introduction of the digital camera. This meant that photographs could be taken and then uploaded to the computer to be sent to people over the Internet or they could be sent to most pharmacies to be developed at a specific time, usually set by the customer. This new technology revolutionized the way people stored and used their photos.

Finally, today there have been many new additions to camera technology. Cell phones now have the ability to take pictures. In addition, there are high-definition photos, which makes photography even clearer than it was before this digital technique. Probably the newest thing in the world of photography is the camera that has a view on both sides for those who don’t want to depend on strangers to take a photo for themselves and their friends. With all of these advances coming in ever shorter time frames, it will be interesting, over the next decade, to see what other changes will be made to this market.
