1. The difference between a camera obscura and camera lucida was the portability, the camera lucida was smaller and made it easier to be portable.
2. The difference between a daguerrotype and a calotype was that a calotype was negative and unlike the daguerrotype could be duplicated. 3. During the 16th century, the Renaissance time, artists became very intersted in further developing the reality of nature. To help, instruments were developed including the camera obscura, and the camera lucida, both similar but the camera lucida was smaller and more portable. In the 19th century when the industrial revolution evolved, with mass production leading the way, scientists were in hopes to achieve reality in a fixed form. In 1827 Joseph Niepce became the first successful in fixing the first projected image. Later on Louis Jacques Daguerre worked with Niepce to further fix the projected image. Daguerre in 1839 announced his invention the Daguerrotype, a type of photograph that was printed on a metal plate. Then competition rose when William Henry Fox Talbot developed another type of photogrpah called the Calotype, it differed from the other because it could be duplicated. The daguerrotype was popular for a good time until the calotype was improved and become the most popular type of photography. In early years many photographers were focused on portraiture and landscape but as time passed photographers starting to question their identity and changed from the basic themes of portraiture and landscape. |
