Photo Tidbit of The Day
Actual photographs are a relatively new thing to people when you look at our entire history. It took many folks to figure out a sophisticated, repeatable way to go about it. But, the oldest surviving photograph is credited to the French inventor, Nicéphore Niépce, who took it in 1826. Using the camera obscura method, this photo was captured at Saint-Loup-de-Varennes. After eight hours of exposure, a picture was projected onto a 20 x 25 cm surface, resulting in the first ever permanent photograph in the history of ever.
Three cheers for Mr. Niepce!
