Evolution of Photography

Reading the article about photography timing was quite amazing. From being able to see a timeline of photos dating back from 1826 was so intriguing at the numerous efforts to minimize the timing to take a picture. I mean, look at the first picture the article shows that the man took of his backyard.. You cannot even make out what you're looking at. But then, the next picture is an enormously made progression into advancing techniques of taking pictures. One of the pictures I am familiar with is the picture a man took using a stereoscopic camera and taking a series of pictures, in which a horse is racing on the track. The man did this to gain knowledge as to if a horse ever has all four hooves off the ground and it was a remarkable discovery of his use of cameras back in 1878, reducing the camera time to 40 thousandths of a second. Today, it is now so easy for people to just take a picture so quickly and not even think of the technology behind because we as humans sure did have to take some time to advance the timing of it.

Here is another article you can enjoy that shows some of the first photos ever taken. Enjoy :)
