image of a scene

I would recommend working backwards and looking for a photo with a strong punctum, since this can be the trickiest part to write about. It is critical that you understand the terms studium, punctum, and photographic seeing for your assignment.

Note that Wikipedia and blogs are not acceptable sources.   Must be cite with both in-text citations and a bibliography. APA style is prefer. But you are welcome to use whichever citation style you are familiar with from your program.

Photography is the result of combining several technical discoveries, relating to seeing an image and capturing the image.

The discovery of the camera obscura (“dark chamber” in Latin) that provides an image of a scene dates back to ancient China. Greek mathematicians Aristotle and Euclid independently describe a camera obscura in the 5th and 4th centuries BCE. In the 6th century CE, Byzantine mathematician Anthemius of Tralles use a type of camera obscura in his experiments.

The Arab physicist Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen) (965–1040) also invented a camera obscura as well as the first true pinhole camera.

The invention of the camera has been traced back to the work of Ibn al-Haytham. While the effects of a image of a scene single light passing through a pinhole had been described earlier. Lbn al-Haytham gave the first correct analysis of the camera obscura. Including the first geometrical and quantitative descriptions of the phenomenon. And was the first to use a screen in a dark room so that an image from one side of a hole. In the surface could be projected onto a screen on the other side. He also first understood the relationship between the focal point and the pinhole image of a scene. And performed early experiments with afterimages. Laying the foundations for the invention of photography in the 19th century.

Leonardo da Vinci mentions natural camera obscura that are formed by dark caves on the edge of a sunlit valley.

A hole in the cave wall will act as a pinhole camera and project a laterally reversed, image of a scene upside down image on a piece of paper. Renaissance painters used the camera obscura which. In fact, gives the optical rendering in color that dominates Western Art. It is a box with a small hole in one side, which allows specific light rays to enter. Projecting an inverted image onto a viewing screen or paper.
