New Delhi:
They say “a picture is worth a thousand words” and most of us will agree with this. World Photography Day, which is celebrated on August 19, also celebrates this sentiment.
The day focuses on the art, craft and science of photography while also celebrating the way a picture captures the essence, emotion and mood of a moment in time.
Did you know the first camera was invented in the 11th century? The Iraqi invention was called the camera obscura, which was the pin-hole camera. It could only project an image. It was only in the 1880s that Kodak eventually came up with consumer-based cameras in the market.
The first permanent photo of an object was captured by French Joseph Nicephore Niepce in 1826.
