Early photographers needed bulky equipment to take photographs and elaborate darkrooms to develop them. Two Frenchmen are credited with inventing the first method of recording an image, Joseph Nicephore Niepce and Louis Daguerre. Daguerre managed to get exposure time down to 30 minutes, which still meant that a subject had to hold perfectly still for that length of time! The images were recorded on sheets of silver-plated copper. With a process that took so long, the subjects did not worry about being photogenic; they were just happy to get a reasonable likeness. Others later invented ways of recording images on tin and coated glass, and in 1889 George Eastman invented flexible roll film. Variations on this type of film, including those with the ability to record images in color, were commonly used until the widespread adoption of digital cameras. Today, digital imaging has taken over because film developing is not necessary and one can take and store multiple digital images more cheaply. This way, the photographer can choose to print or post the best images from many choices. Reading Passage (BLM 9) B e n c h m a r k E d u c a t i o n C o m p a n y
