photo technique magazine: Variations on the Photographic Arts Fascinating Videos About 6 Photographic Processes Used Through History George Eastman House just finished its 6 part video series on photographic processes used throughout history. The short educational videos run about 3-6 minutes each, and provide a great look into the various ways photographers of old created their images. Here’s the entire six-part series for your enjoyment: The Daguerreotype Invented in the early 1800s by Louis Daguerre, the daguerreotype was the first process to become commercially successful. The Collodion Process Invented in the mid 1800s, the collodion process was widely popular and almost completely replaced the daguerreotype within 10 years of being introduced. The Albumen Print Used in the mid-to-late-1800s, the albumen print process was also known as the albumen silver print. The Woodburytype Invented in 1864, the woodburytype was the first photographic method capable of producing printed illustration material that preserved the details of photographs.

burn magazine National Press Photographers Association | NPPA Photo Tutorial & Gallery | The Milky Way | Nick Ulivieri Photography Intro I’ll preface this post by saying that the key to taking good photographs is to know your subject. Photographing the Milky Way is no different. Before I get into how to actually take the picture, I’ve included some basic information on what the Milky Way is and how and when to see it in the night’s sky. What is the Milky Way? To put it simply, a galaxy is a massive, gravitationally bound group of stars, dust, and gases, and other stellar remnants. The Milky Way is impressively large, spanning some 100,000 light years across. At current estimates, our Milky Way contains between 200 and 400 billion stars…depending on which astronomer you ask. By the way, scientists think there may be up to 170 billion galaxies in the observable universe. Where and when can I see the Milky Way? Ok, so now that we know what it is, how can we best see it? 1. The Moon also plays a huge factor. 2. 3. Tell me how I can photograph it already!! The Gear: 1. 2. 3. 1. 3. 4. 5. 6. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. -Nick

ShortCourses-The On-line Library of Digital Photography Digital Cameras, Photography, Scanners, Printers - The Imaging Resource! A complete guide to digital cameras, digital photography, and digital video Early Photography | DPLA Early cameras were cumbersome, costly, and often required specialist knowledge of the devices and developing chemicals to use them correctly. Early film development processes, like tintypes and daguerreotypes, relied on potentially dangerous chemical interactions that were best handled in a controlled environment. For daguerreotype images, popular between 1840 and 1860, the photographer put a sheet of copper, coated with silver and exposed to iodine vapor, into the camera. Because the film process used highly toxic and often dangerous chemicals, photographs were almost exclusively taken by professionals until the twentieth century. Early cameras also had a very slow shutter speed, meaning that the shutter remained open exposing the plate to light for a longer period of time.
