In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.
The next important date in the history of photography（摄影术）was in 1837.That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading-room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. The kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype.
Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s way. Travellers brought back wonderful photos from all round the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains.
In about 1840, photography was developed(发展). Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines.
