Ever wondered when the first picture was taken? Apparently the first camera invented took about 8 hours to take a single picture, and it was barely visible and black and white!

 

The Interactive Design Institute have decided to make a visual guide showing the history of photography. Here are some other interesting facts you probably didnt know about:

  • The first ever photograph was taken in 1839
  • First colour photograph EVER printed was made in 1861 (that’s about 152 years ago!)

  • The first ever “portable” digital camera weighed almost 4kg and was the size of an A4 paper in 197518
  • Kodak created the first ever “miniature” point-and-shoot camera
  • First time a picture was uploaded online was in 1992

 

  • The first commercially available mobile phone with an integrated camera is the J-SH04 introduced by J-Phone in 2000
  • The almighty INSTAGRAM was first launched in 2010, allowing people to edit and share photos easily without the hassle of learning any photoshop tricks. Since then, smartphones account for over 1/4 of all photos taken worldwide

 

So the question is, do you think its the beginning of the end for proper cameras?
