2. 1727  “Johann Schulze, a German physicist, discovered that silver salt turns dark when exposed to light.”  http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/historyonlin e/film_chron.cfm

3. 1780s  “Carl Scheele, Swedish chemist, showed that the changes in the color of the silver salt could be made permanently through the use of chemicals.”  http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/historyonlin e/film_chron.cfm

4. 1826  “A French inventor named Nicephore Niepce. Produced a permanent image by coating a metal plate with a light sensitive chemical and exposing the plate to light for about 8 hours.”  http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/historyonlin e/film_chron.cfm

5. First camera  On a summer day in 1827, Joseph Nicephore Niepce made the first photographic image with a camera obscura.  http://inventors.about.com/od/pstartinventio ns/a/stilphotography.htm http://inventors.about.com/od/pstartinventio ns/a/stilphotography.htm

6. 1830s  “Louis Daguerre was a French inventor, develops the first practical method of photography by placing a sheet of silver- coated copper treated with crystals of iodine inside a camera and exposing it to an image for 5 to 40 minutes. Vapors from heated mercury developed the image and sodium thiosulfate made the image permanent.”  http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/historyonlin e/film_chron.cfm

7. 1840s  “Josef M. Petzval, a Hungarian mathematician, develops lenses for portrait and landscape photographs, which produce sharper images and admit more light, thus reducing exposure time.”  http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/historyonlin e/film_chron.cfm

8. 1851  “the British photographer Frederick S. Archer develops a photographic process using a glass plate coated with a mixture of silver salts and an emulsion made of collodion. Because the collodion had to remain moist during exposure and developing, photographers had to process the pictures immediately.”  http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/historyonlin e/film_chron.cfm

9. 1871  “Richard L. Maddox, a British physician, invents the "dry-plate" process, using an emulsion of gelatin, so that photographers did not have to process the pictures immediately. By the late 1870s, exposure time had been reduced to 1/25th of a second. Gelatin emulsion made it possible to produce prints that were larger than the original negatives, allowing manufacturers to reduce the size of cameras.”  http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/historyonline/fi lm_chron.cfm
