The history of photography dates back too 1826, when Joseph Nicephore built what would be called a camera obscura, a simple box letting a small amount of light through for a long period of time. As the film camera grew in popularity, the digital camera soon took over becoming the primary camera known to the public. The essentials to a making a camera is quite simple, all you need is light control and a light sensitive material. As time went on the "light control" was replaced with glass too capture light, and the "light sensitive material" evolved from film too digital. While adding, changing, and modifying the camera has lead too many of the stunning shots we see today, the art of photography expands past the latest camera available. Learning the scope of photography leads too much more fun when capturing the moment.
