  2. Lippmann plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lippmann_plate

    For this method Lippmann won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1908. [9] The colour image can only be viewed in the reflection of a diffuse light source from the plate, making the field of view limited, and therefore not easily copied with conventional techniques. The method was very insensitive with the emulsions of the time and it never came into ...

  3. Color photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_photography

    The first color photograph made by the three-color method suggested by James Clerk Maxwell in 1855, taken in 1861 by Thomas Sutton. The subject is a colored ribbon, usually described as a tartan ribbon. Color photography is photography that uses media capable of capturing and reproducing colors.

  4. Subtractive color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtractive_color

    This idealized model is the essential principle of how dyes and pigments are used in color printing and photography, where the perception of color is elicited after white light passes through microscopic "stacks" of partially absorbing media allowing some wavelengths of light to reach the eye and not others, and also in painting, whether the ...

  5. Optical filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_filter

    Light from a clear blue sky is also polarized, and adjustable filters are used in colour photography to darken the appearance of the sky without introducing colours to other objects, and in both colour and black-and-white photography to control specular reflections from objects and water. Much older than g.m.r.f (just above) these first (and ...

  6. History of photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_photography

    Included were methods for viewing a set of three color-filtered black-and-white photographs in color without having to project them, and for using them to make full-color prints on paper. [ 62 ] The first widely used method of color photography was the Autochrome plate, a process inventors and brothers Auguste and Louis Lumière began working ...

  7. Chromism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromism

    Classical dyes and pigments produce color by the absorption and reflection of light; these are the materials that make a major impact on the color of our daily lives. In 2000, world production of organic dyes was 800,000 tonnes and of organic pigments, 250,000 tonnes and the volume has grown at a steady rate throughout the early years of this ...

  8. Science of photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_of_photography

    The science of photography is the use of chemistry and physics in all aspects of photography. This applies to the camera, its lenses, physical operation of the camera, electronic camera internals, and the process of developing film in order to take and develop pictures properly.

  9. Outline of photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_photography

    The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to photography: . Photography – process of making pictures by the action of recording light patterns, reflected or emitted from objects, on a photosensitive medium or an image sensor through a timed exposure.
