Advancements of the Camera
Over the years, there have been a lot of inventions that have benefited people and society in general. An invention that has evolved through many generations of technology is the camera. The camera not only has been used to capture especial moments in people’s lives, but it has become something that benefits the business world in general. It is believed that the camera was invented during the early 1500’s. The first unsophisticated camera was called the camera obscura. Artists were the only people who used the camera as a tool to help them sketch scenery (Bellis). The camera obscura was seen as a drawing tool for a clearer and realistic portrayal of objects. It was in the early 19th century that an invention named the Camera Lucida was introduced by Cambridge Scientist William Hyde Wollaston that consisted of an optical device that could help an artist view the distant scene or person object on a paper surface that he or she was using to draw. In other words, the artist gets to view a superimposed image of a subject on paper and this image could be effectively used to attempt to draw, trace or paint it (JohnnyWik). Both the Camera Obscura and the Camera Lucida provided an image that was temporary, which could not be lastingly
