The very first photography ever will be exposed for public

View from the Window at Le GrasBefore you get upset and start whining, because your smartphone with 10 megapixel camera is not making good enough pictures and you want new smartphone with 15 megapixel, think about the first photography, that was ever made with a camera. The guy who made that photography, took him eight hours of light exposure and you can barely say what it is on that photography, BUT he was very happy! Think about it!

View from the Window at Le Gras
The reconstruction of the oldest photography


The very first photography is named “View from the Window at Le Gras,” and was taken by the French inventor Joseph Nicéphore Niépce from his window in 1826 at Saint-Loup-de-Varennes. He took that photography with a camera that he made by himself. For all of you that you want to see this photography, it will go on display at the Reiss-Engelhorn museum in Mannheim, Germany as part of the show “The Birth Of Photography.”
