A Picture is Worth One Thousand Words.
The word photography is derived from two Greek words, one meaning light, and the other meaning writing.
Though you might not believe it, the process of photography has been around for several hundreds of years, but wasn't actually brought to use until 1827. A man named Niepce (Nee-ps) took, and successfully developed what we know today as a photograph. After taking the photo on a piece of material that hardened, he let it sit for eight hours to fully develop, and even then it was hard to tell what it was.
However, John Corbutt didn't produce the first photographic film until 1888. This film was highly flammable, and caused many problems with processing companies and was replaced in the 1930's with a less hazardous kind. .
When photo processing was first used, it took many hours to develop one picture. I was also a very expensive process. Dagurre was the first person to discover it, which was purely accidental. He placed a picture in his cupboard on top of plates and when he returned, the image was on his plates. He concluded that it was because of mercury in the cabinet. Fox Tallbot later discovered the process of latent image, which takes less that one minute.
Math has a major part to do with Photography. The speed of the film, compartments inside the camera, focus of the lens, and the angle of the shot.
The speed of the film you use is a key part of how well your pictures turn out. First, you need to know what kind of pictures you will be taking. If they are still life, and in the day time then a slower speed film is better for you. If your pictures are in motion, and in the evening to night, you need to check into a higher speed film. What I mean when I say speed, is how fast the negatives go across the shutter space, where the light will hit it creating the image. .
The compartments in the camera must me measured precisely so that every part will fit together.
