While applying the ‘brush filter’ is a cool way to make your
pictures look artsy, there was a time when brushes and paint were the only way
to capture scenes. It would take hours before someone with the right skills could
capture the right moment. One of the first ever cameras built was called camera
obscure. Interestingly, it could not take pictures but served as a device which
aided in drawing pictures. In 1826, one of the first pictures was photographed
using a metal plate. By 1885, photographic films came into being and the first
camera went on sale in 1888; it was called Kodak. The rest in history.
Developments later here we are today with CCD technology fitted behind
tiny eyes on mobile phones.

The camera is arguably one of the most exciting and
important inventions ever. Cameras gave birth to the phenomenon of being able
to record events. News channels had more evidence when presenting stories, as
they unfolded. Explorers could record what the deepest of caves ad farthest of
stars looked like. Without a camera, entertainment would still be served to us
the old fashioned way-on the radio! You wouldn’t have television shows and
movies to enjoy or memories to relive. Instead you’d probably have to invite
musicians and dancers to your home and have them perform in your living room.
