A famous French artist born in 1787 in later work he had competition with William fox Tabolt
   He made experiments and later partnered with niepce who later died in 1833 so  tabolt had to carry on without him










William fox Tabolt

William Henry Fox Talbot born in11 February 1800 and died on the 17 September 1877 was a British inventor and a . He was the inventor of calotype process, the process to make  photo processes of the 19th and 20th centuries. He was also a noted photographer who made major contributions to the development of photography as an artistic medium. His work in the 1840s on photo-mechanical reproduction led to the creation of the photoglyphic engraving process, the precursor to photographs. Talbot is also remembered as the holder of a patent which, some say, affected the early development of commercial photography in Britain.

Talbot was known by his second name Henry, rather than William. It is commonly assumed that "Fox Talbot" is an unhyphenated double-barrelled surname. However, Fox was his mother's maiden name and was not passed on to his children. 

edward muybridge

Edward Muybridge was born at Kingston-on-Thames, England on April 9, 1830. He moved to the america arriving in San Francisco in 1855, where he started a career as a publisher's agent and bookseller. He left San Francisco at the end of the 1850s, and after a stagecoach accident in which he received severe head injuries, returned to England for a few years.

He reappeared in San Francisco in 1866 and rapidly became successful in photography, focusing principally on landscape and architectural subjects, although is business cards also advertised his services for portraiture.

Niépce took what is believed to be the world’s first photogravure etching, in 1822, of an engraving of Pope Pius VII, but the original was later destroyed when he attempted to duplicate it. 

 Niépce did not have a steady enough hand to trace the inverted images created by the ,camera obscura as was popular in his day, so he looked for a way to capture an image permanently. He experimented with lithiography , which led him in his attempt to take a photograph using a camera obscura. Niépce also experimented with silver chloride  , which darkens when exposed to light, but eventually looked to binutmen, which he used in his first successful attempt at capturing nature photographically. He dissolved bitumen in , a lavender oil solvent often used in varnishes , and coated the sheet of pewter with this light capturing mixture. He placed the sheet inside a camera obscura to capture the picture, and eight hours later removed it and washed it with lavender oil to remove the unexposed bitumen.

He began experimenting to set optical images in 1793. Some of his early experiments made images, but they faded very fast. Letters to his sister-in-law around 1816 indicate that he found a way to fix images on paper, but not prevent them from deterioration in light. The earliest known, surviving example of a Niépce photograph (or any other photograph) was created in 1825. Niépce called his process Heliophotography, which literally means "sun writing". Nevertheless, semiologist Roland Barthes, in a Spanish edition of his book "La chambre claire", "La cámara lúcida" (Paidós, Barcelona,1989) shows a picture from 1822, "Table ready", a foggy photo of a table set to be used for a meal.

Focusing and sharpness

Focus
depending on how far or close an object is from the camera when the photo is taken it will be blurred or sharp sharp-a medium distance. Blurred- close this has certain effects that can can be manipulated to the photographers advantage using a lens.
