History: The very first photograph, made in 1826 by Joseph Niépc…

Question

Did you know? The very first photograph, made in 1826 by Joseph Niépce, took eight hours to expose. In that time the sun moved so far that the shadows in the picture fall on both sides of the buildings. So it is not really a snapshot — more of an "8-hour collage".

De allereerste foto, gemaakt in 1826 door Joseph Niépce, had een belichtingstijd van acht uur. In die tijd bewoog de zon zo ver dat de schaduwen op het beeld aan beide kanten van de gebouwen vallen. Geen momentopname dus, maar eerder een "8-uur-collage".
