Summarize the history of the development of the camera from the early camera obscura to the advent of color film. Emphasize the major differences that marked each new development in photography. 

What will be an ideal response?


The Renaissance harnessed the principles of the camera obscura in projecting and capturing an image. The still camera began preserving those images through long exposure times and bulky equipment in the form of heliographs and daguerreotypes. Advancements were made with the Kodak snapshot camera for easy, quick capture of images, and the development of color film, which was used mainly for advertising and commercial venues and was adopted later by serious photographers.
