Sejarah Fotografi Kekal

Sejarah Fotografi Kekal

Fotograf kekal yang pertama berjaya dihasilkan pada tahun 1826 oleh seorang pereka perancis yang bernama Joseph Nicéphore Niépce (1765–1833) yang dibagunkan hasil penemuan Johann Heinrich Schultz (1724) dimana campuran perak dan kapur menjadi gelap akibat pendedahan cahaya. Gambar yang pertama berjaya dihasilkan oleh Joseph Nicéphore Niépce yang diberi nama Heliograph ini memerlukan pendedahan kepada cahaya yang lama iaitu selama 8 jam dan menghasilkan gambar yang mempunyai 2 pantulan cahaya matahari. Kemuadiannya Joseph Nicéphore Niépce dan Louis Daguerre (1787 –1851)
telah mengkaji proses ini dengan lebih mendalam, hasilnya selepas kematian Niépce, Daguerre telah menghasilkan penemuan bahawa dengan pendedahan perak terlebih dahulu kepada iodine yang meruap sebelum pendedahan kepada cahaya (ambil gambar) kemudiannya dedahkannya kepada asap merkuri (selepas ambil gambar) akan menghasilkan imej pendam, selepas di rendam plat perak tu kedalam larutan garam akan memperlihatkan gambar yang diambil. Formula ini akhirnya menjadi teknik daguerreotype yang amat terkenal selepas tu.

Teknik daguerreotype ini ada kelemahanya, terutama kesukarannya untuk mengambil gambar, yang berjaya sahaja di proses dan ia tidak boleh di cetak semula. Disebabkan prosesnya yang sukar dan kurang praktikal, banyak pengkaji2 lain cuba untuk mencari dan menghasilkan proses yang lebih mudah. Tidak lama selepas gambar pertama Nicéphore Niépce (1826) berjaya dihasilkan, maka selepas itu terhasil pula pelbagai jenis kaedah dan proses, antaranya seperti proses collodion pada tahun 1848 menggunakan cetakan pada kertas albumin dan proses gelatin pada tahun 1871, adaptasi dari proses gelatin ini telah menghasilkan fotograf hitam putih sehinggalah penemuan fotograf warna.

Fotografi warna bermula dengan dengan hasil eksperimen oleh John Herschel keatas eksperimen Anthotype pada 1842, and Lippmann plate pada 1891. fotograf warna kemudiannya mula terkenal pada tahun 1903 apabila Autochrome Lumière di perkenalkan. Kemudianya teknik ini digantikan dengan Kodachrome, Ilfochrome yang lebih transparent (seperti slaid projektor). Tetapi cetakan gambar berwarna hanya popular selepas negatif Chromogenic diperkenalkan.

Kamera Obscura

Kamera Obscura

Apa itu kamera Obscura, dalam bahasa latin “camera” bermaksud bilik dan “obscura” bermaksud gelap. Oleh itu kamera Obscura bermaksud bilik gelap. Pada permulaannya istilah ini digunakan oleh seorang ahli falak german yang bernama Johannes Kepler pada kurun ke 17 sebagai istilah dalam ilmu falak dan mempunyai kubah bergerak untuk melihat di bahagian Austria.

Kajian awal para ilmuan pada mulanya bukanlah merujuk kepada kamera, tetapi sebaliknya kepada pembentukan imej melalui lubang jarum dalam bilik gelap. Ilmuan china Mo-Ti (kurun ke 5 sebelum masihi), adalah orang pertama telah merekodkan tentang pembentukan imej terbalik dalam bilik gelap. Ilmuan Islam Alhazen (abu Ali al-Hasan ibn al-Haitham)(965-1039 masihi) menggunakan prinsip ini dlm eksperimennya.

Perkembangan ilmu hasil penemuan ini telah menghasilkan penemuan kamera. Kamera obscura telah berkembang kepada penghasilan kamera kecil mudah gerak dan kamera yang static.

Semasa penemuan kamera obscura ini, untuk merakam gambar kekal adalah dengan menggunakan kertas tekap, gambar dilukis dengan pensel dan dakwal kekal diatas sekepng kertas dimana imej terbentuk ada yang menggunakan istilah"Drawing Room Camera Obscuras".

History of Photography Timeline

History of Photography Timeline

by Philip Greenspun; revised January 2007
Sumber : http://photo.net/history/timeline

ancient times: Camera obscuras used to form images on walls in darkened rooms; image formation via a pinhole
16th century: Brightness and clarity of camera obscuras improved by enlarging the hole inserting a telescope lens
17th century: Camera obscuras in frequent use by artists and made portable in the form of sedan chairs
1727: Professor J. Schulze mixes chalk, nitric acid, and silver in a flask; notices darkening on side of flask exposed to sunlight. Accidental creation of the first photo-sensitive compound.
1800: Thomas Wedgwood makes "sun pictures" by placing opaque objects on leather treated with silver nitrate; resulting images deteriorated rapidly, however, if displayed under light stronger than from candles.
1816: Nicéphore Niépce combines the camera obscura with photosensitive paper
1826: Niépce creates a permanent image
1834: Henry Fox Talbot creates permanent (negative) images using paper soaked in silver chloride and fixed with a salt solution. Talbot created positive images by contact printing onto another sheet of paper.
1837: Louis Daguerre creates images on silver-plated copper, coated with silver iodide and "developed" with warmed mercury; Daguerre is awarded a state pension by the French government in exchange for publication of methods and the rights by other French citizens to use the Daguerreotype process.
1841: Talbot patents his process under the name "calotype".
1851: Frederick Scott Archer, a sculptor in London, improves photographic resolution by spreading a mixture of collodion (nitrated cotton dissolved in ether and alcoohol) and chemicals on sheets of glass. Wet plate collodion photography was much cheaper than daguerreotypes, the negative/positive process permitted unlimited reproductions, and the process was published but not patented.
1853: Nada (Felix Toumachon) opens his portrait studio in Paris

The photos were turned into lantern slides and projected in registration with the same color filters. This is the "color separation" method.

1868: Ducas de Hauron publishes a book proposing a variety of methods for color photography.
