Cameras from year to year continue to experience developments along with more sophisticated technology. It used to be when it was first discovered that the shape of the camera that serves to capture and produce this image is still very large and still difficult to operate but along with the times, the camera model is now more sophisticated and there is a large and also small and very easy to use. This time we will discuss about the history of camera discovery as well as profiles and inventors of the Camera namely Louis Jacques Monde Da Guerre and Edwin Land.
• Louis Jacques Monde Da Guerre
Louis Jacques Monde da Guerre was born in France, on November 18, 1787. Louis is a French artist and chemist. Louis was a young artist in the arts. He became famous since his discovery of the Daguerreotype photography process.
Inventor, Camera, Louis Jacques Monde Da Guerre In his mid-thirties, he has succeeded in designing a diagram, a line of landscape paintings that can show beautiful looking paintings with the help of light effects. He began to develop a way to automatically re-paint the scene without using brush and paint.
Louis had failed in the first draft, he began experimenting to create images in 1824 and showed the diorama in France, England and Scotland. He had opened the Diorama in Paris in 1822, an exhibition display images with various effects caused by changes in light.

In 1827 Louis met with Joseph Nicephore Niepce who was making a camera with the first photo work in 1826, but the picture is still blurred. Louis entered into cooperation in 1829 to develop the camera, but in 1833 Niepce died. He succeeded in creating a practical system of photography called daguerreotype.
Daguerreotype is the method of making the first photo published in the world. This method was invented in 1834 by Louis and Niepce. The resulting image of the Daguerrotype system is made of amalgam or a mixture of silver and mercury. Mercury vapor produced from heated mercury pools is used to develop copper plates with a thin silver coating that is rolled in contact.
But the image of the Daguerrotype system is easily erased by air and fingers, so it is done in a closed room and the result is inserted into the glass frame. The results of the image can be copied again with the original redaguerrotype. Louis continued his research by experimenting with chemicals and mechanical processes in recording images by coating copper and silver plates.
In 1835, he had found a way to develop the images for 30 minutes, so as to improve the resulting image. This method is able to prevent the embezzlement of silver plate used. In 1837, he managed to perfect from the process of exposure to fixation.
The French government rewards Louis and the Niepce family for a lifetime pension. Louis died in Brysur Marne, France, on July 10, 1851, at the age of 63 years.
