Bad video. It doesn´t explain how photography really evolved and lack´s on a lot of detail.
Thank you! I must say, that the voice sounds splendidly.
The first 35 mm SLR came in 1936. There where SLRs in bigger Formats even earlier.
the new logan paul
It s Joseph Nicéphore niépce(too hard to pronounce i think). And pronounce daguerr-o_type Not daguerr-é-otype ^^.
A very good explanation. It's just what I was looking for – It would be nice to mention that without photos (for the most part), people would not know what they looked like as children.
Fascinating! Thanks for the lesson.
just great! hope this will help me during tomorrow's photography quiz.
really good thank you. If you check though there were small 35mm cameras way back as early as 1905. The Simplex Multi-Exposure was probably the first really successful one. But thank you for the timeline really, really good

Completely omitted the very important era of medium format photography using 120 film that ran from the 1930's until the 1960's. 35 mm format didn't catch on until the 1970's. Isolettes, Brownies (particularly the Hawkeye), Vikings, Billy Records, all shot better quality photos than the early 35 mm cameras, and many still do today.
Brady, not Bradly.
The Crimean War was the first photographed war, not the Armenian war. Ethnic Armenians who lived on the Crimean peninsula were involved, but there were many players.
But in the first daugueriotype the guy was walking, so how come much later they had to stay still for 30s to 2m?
9:45 it looks like post-mortem photo
photo-chemicals?
Interesting and informative, but the name of the Civil War photographer you're mentioning is Matthew Brady, not Bradley. Thanks for the series!
it is pronounced Daguerre-o-type. should not rhyme with stereotype. No "e" sound after Daguerre
Your voice is so fucking NICE
Richard Leach Maddox developed the Dry Plate before Eastman did. Eastman pioneered paper film and later roll film and cameras. Don't forget to mention the Brownie and how it brought photography to the masses
using this for photograph class Junior High. Thanks
This pin hole camera is made by Ibn Al Haytham a Muslim genius that you didn't mention.
Thank you
Very interesting. Thank you.
thank you very interesting
Amazing video! Thanks a lot.
Mmmm what about Ibn Al Haythem's contributions at the beginning?
Just kiddin, Niépce made the first permanent photograph using bitumen of Judea (a nutural light-sensitive material) mounted on a pewter plate. It took him several days, not 8 hours. Also, he didn't know shit about silver nitrate. Go to Wikipedia and read up or find a better vid, this one is as wrong as it van get!
Which one, there are billions!
my teacher is using it right now.. 2013..sigh*** kind of bored.. good video… just not my thing
What was the permanent photograph done on.
while you have a general nice overview, some of your facts are incorrect. i suggest looking at Rosenblumb's History of Photography. The glass plate was not brought out till later, and the American Civil War facts are incorrect also. Alexander Gardener was the photographer of the Civil War (mostly taken by others, but he claimed credit) and also, the Crimean War was the first real photographed war. Just something to think about.
sweet.
