Great overview of the birth of photography. I give you points for trying to pronounce the names and the processes correctly! By now, people are learning that Niépce invented the photographic process and Daguerre made it practical. I friend of mine has studied their letters to each other. She said it's pretty intense stuff, and the two of them apparently were collaborators but never friends. Niépce has the process and Daguerre had the camera to make it work. Together, they developed the process and, after Niépce died, Daguerre pretty much perfected it - which is why he gets so much attention. Fun fact: the French government were so aware of the importance of this invention that they bought it, gave Daguerre a pension, and then presented the photographic process to the world - no strings attached - as "France's gift to the world." That's why it took off so quickly - because no-one was allowed to own it. Yep - the photographic process might be the first open-source technology in history.
Heliographs are very interesting. Most online info on the process is quite brief, however, and a bit too 'overviewish'. I do wish that someone would actually show the process (i.e. reproduce the actual process and record it) as it would give a clearer understanding of exactly what the process was and what was involved. Thanks for this, however. It is one of the clearest explanations I have yet come across.
Really interesting. I wonder how many things could have been invented early on if the people in charge did not reject it just because they did not understand it.
Hi Michael. I read elsewhere that the original image that he took was from his bathroom overlooking a Parisian square. It shows all the static subject, square, houses, railings etc but no moving images of the normally busy street scene, except the shoeshine man on the right of the picture as he was there all day and managed to get registered, although blurry, its the only human or animal in it. Experts estimate it took an eight hour exposure. Thanks for the video, enjoyed very much. Regards.
Joseph Nicéphore Niépce (1765-1833) : was a French inventor, usually credited as the Inventor of Photography and a Pioneer in that field. Niépce developed Heliography, a Technique he used to create the world's oldest surviving product of a photographic process: a print made from a photoengraved printing plate in 1825. In 1826 or 1827, he used a primitive camera to produce the oldest surviving photograph of a real-world scene. Among Niépce's other inventions was the Pyréolophore, the world's first internal combustion engine, which he conceived, created, and developed with his older brother Claude Niépce. -- WIKIPEDIA

Terrific insight into the early pioneer of our art form. Thank you.
Thank's for putting this together Michael, it's a fascinating piece of history, I enjoyed it.
Fascinating! I look forward to more videos like this.
Great video! The original is a fascinating view and is free to the public in Austin, Texas:)-John in Austin
this is pretty cool - really man I havent come across this before
Very interesting keep em coming!
Thank you! That was very informative!
Really interesting. I wonder how many things could have been invented early on if the people in charge did not reject it just because they did not understand it.
if napoleon have lived a little more, he posibly could have been photographied.
And he still only would have been in his 50s at the time too.
Great video. Thanks for this
Nicely presented history
thanks for this awesome video. make more
Very interesting and cool.
पूज्य GREAT SCIENTIST Joseph Nicephore Niepce के चरणों में कोटि कोटि प्रणाम 🙏🙏🌳🌳!!
Otentick AF BRO!!!
great
Does anyone know where this photo was taken?
At the house "Le Gras" , Saint -loup-de- Varennes , seven kilometers of Chalons-sur-Saone ...
@@ericandre6766 Okay, thank you!
Wow, never had heard of him. History is a strange country
Right? It’s like how could we not know about him??
I came hear just to hear someone pronounce his name. Watched the entire the interesting vidoe.
Same 😂

That would be the first picture of a person! Another fascinating photo. Best wishes!
The photo you're thinking of was taken by Daguerre in 1838, five years after Niépce's death. The exposure time was ten minutes.
Traduction for portuguese?
Nice video 22g (brother ji) आपको प्रणाम 🙏🙏🌳🌳!!

THE CAMERA WAS INVENTED IN 1841 BY JOSEPH NICEPHORE NIEPCE, WHEN HE USED HIS CAMERA OBSCURA TO TAKE PICTURES OF THE NEARBY ROOFTOPS.
Crap! Second!!!
