Happy World Photography Day!

Introduction Ever since it was the first modern cameras were invented in the 19th century, photographs have been used to preserve images. The first photograph took eight hours to take; today we can snap a photo using our phones, whenever we like! World Photography Day celebrates photography with events on social media, and encourages people to share their own photos.

The Ancient Greeks used the principle in their camera obscure, which projects an image through a small hole.
