Together these two men, along with French scientist François Arago, developed the process that came to be known as daguerreotype. The details of the process were announced to the world in 1839, the same year that Englishman William Henry Fox Talbot unveiled his own camera obscura images. Many different methods of creating photographs have been developed since, but it is to these four men that we should credit the birth of photography as we know it.  \ncamera obscura Origin of the present day camera. In its simplest form it consisted of a darkened room with a small hole in one wall. Light rays could pass through the hole to transmit on to a screen, and inverted image of the scene outside. It was first mentioned by Aristotle in the 4th Century B.C. and developed through the centuries as an aid to drawing.  \nchromogenic color print Also known as C-print. The most common type of color photograph, printed from achromogenic color negative; consists of dyes within gelatin layers on a plastic-coated paper base. Subject to fading and color shifts in dark storage and on exhibition. Developed in the 1940s as an outgrowth of chromogenic color transparencies (Kodachrome, invented in 1935) . Used by amateurs and artists alike.  \ndaguerreotype One-of-a-kind photograph on a highly polished, silver-plated sheet of copper, developed over mercury fumes characterized by a mirror-like surface and astonishing detail. A positive image was produced by camera exposure and mercury “development,” which turned light-struck halides gray-white. The image was made permanent by immersing the plate in a solution of sodium chloride.  \ndocumentary photography A type of photography that records a phase of regional, social or cultural life; subjects are typically presented in a very straightforward manner without sentimentality or artifice.  \ndye transfer print Color photograph made by transferring to paper yellow, cyan, and magenta dyes from color separations of an image. Process permits precise control of image color. Used for fine art or advertising prints from the late 1940s to the early 1990s.  \nf-stop In a camera lens the aperture’s relative diameter (or opening) is measured in f-stops, such as f/8, f/  \n5.6, etc. The aperture size controls how much light passes through the lens to the film plane (often expressed as a fraction or ratio 1:1 .8) . As the number increases, the size of the aperture decreases, thereby reducing the amount of light passing through the lens and striking the film.  \nfilm A light-sensitive material that receives an image that has been directed through the camera; in older cameras specially coated glass plates served as film; today flexible acetate in rolls is the support for the coating; digital cameras don’t use film to capture images at all.  \nflash An artificial light source that has a brief, intense burst of light; usually used where the lighting on the scene or subject is inadequate for photograph-taking.  \ngelatin silver print. Photograph on paper or plasticized paper coated with an emulsion of light-sensitive silver salts suspended in gelatin, printed out or developed out, and fixed. Came into general use in the 1880s; the developed variety remains the standard black-and-white photographic process.  \nlens The part of a camera that directs light reflected from the subject to the film plane and focuses the image.  \nnegative A reversed light/dark image formed on film that may be used to make prints; the tones are thereverse of the original subject, but during the printing process they are reversed back to normal appearance.  \nphotograph The art or process of producing an image by the chemical action of light on a sensitized surface.  \nphotogravure Photographic image printed in ink from an etched","cbCaiphLbkkCHCos","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiphLbkkCHCos","pdf",498552,"English","# Glossary of Photography Terms\n## Origins and foundational concepts\n## Camera mechanics and imaging\n## Prints, processes, and styles","[{\"question\":\"What is camera obscura, and why is it important?\",\"answer\":\"Camera obscura is the origin concept of today’s camera: a darkened room with a small hole that projects an inverted image onto a screen.
