On a summer day in 1826, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce made what is believed to be the first photographic image with a camera obscura, also known as a "pinhole camera." The process used a plate covered with a substance called bitumen, which hardened in relation to light as it came through the small hole into the dark, airtight interior of the camera obscura. Washing down the plate after several hours of exposure with oil of lavender produced a permanent image. Since then, photographers have made great strides and great art. Below are 10 magical and significant moments in the history of photography.
