How Photography Began For Beginner Panoramic Photographers

By Richard Howard


When the art of taking pictures was first thought of, it was a novel and very intriguing concept. People have always found the idea of being able to project their images on solid surfaces to be very interesting. Since ancient times, civilizations have had mirrors around to show what they looked like to one another. Water also serves this purpose, serving as the first kind of mirror people have.

The coming of late 19th century saw the prototypes of various cameras being built and tested out by different inventors with the purpose of getting an image of what is seen. The popularity of this grew enough to breed different styles and lead to it being called an art. Panoramic photographers follow a particular style of taking pictures and there various other kinds as well. It is in a sense like painting but with more details.

The early days of picture taking began on 1890s. It began with a prototype camera and the way photos were developed was not using films, not began on glass plates. These were sturdy things that images were placed on and used light to print the images on glass plates as film was not invented or introduced during the time period yet and when it was first introduced, it was quite expensive.

The film was introduced eventually but did not catch on do to how expensive these items were. Most like how superior the stability of glass is. These plates were also used for lots of other application in the field of different sciences such as space or astro photography that has had seen continued use up into the early 20th century. There are several other uses as well.

Eventually the films over took glass plates in terms of domination and popularity. Because of lesser time it took to developed and a a much better quality, films became the dominant juggernaut in usage for photography for years to come. This was until the much more convenient digital camera was born but film did not die out because various people love the quality that film has over digital versions.

Originally, when it was invented, photos were monochrome. Also known as black and white, monochrome stayed popular even though color was already invented. This is due to peoples love of how classic these look. This plays with how people love the past and black and white style shows that. Tones are shown in contrast to show the effect of light and dark areas.

The 1840s saw the effort of placing the colors into the glass plates as they would fade in the light and not last for a very long time. Back then, photos would take a really long time to print out and by the time it was, the colors would fade because of light that fills the room. A colored photograph was taken in 1861 and that became known as the first permanent colored photograph that was taken in history.

The digital camera was interesting invention that was released to masses in 1980s. The digital method could now replace film was it did not require that but only battery and a cartridges to keep pictures. Since it did not take extra and did not expire, this as seen as far more efficient and superior to film as a whole.

The field has had a lot of contributions to many different places. The field of sciences uses this to take a better look at how the human body is constructed and how to find tumors or many swelling inside the body. It also contribution in the creating the movie industry or as the old days call it, moving pictures.
