Web Assignment #5

I would define beauty in photography as whatever the photographer gets inspiration from. It doesn't matter what the photograph is of. It could be of a war zone or of a cute little baby. I don't think there's any characteristics in beautiful photography except good lighting and rule of thirds and things like that. Beauty can be in any form.

               This was Nicephore Niepce's first photograph in 1826. It was taken of the view from a window at Le gras. It took 8 hours to make the exposure.




Nicephore Niepce was a french inventor that first invented photography. He didn't have a steady enough hand to trace the inverted images, so he looked for a way to capture the images permanently. He experimented with lithography, helping him attempt a photograph using a camera obscura. He also experimented with silver chloride, but eventually got to bitumen which successfully worked at capturing nature photographically.
