Iifoto ezithathwe ngekhamera yokuqala yabathengi: Kodak No. 1

IZiko loLondolozo lweMbali leSizwe likhuphe uthotho lweefoto ezifakwe kwikhamera yokuqala yabathengi eyakhutshwa ngo-1888, i-Kodak No. 1.

I-Kodak yayiyeyona nkampani inkulu yokucinga emhlabeni. Ukuwa kwayo kuqalile emva kokuyilwa kwekhamera yedijithali xa i-Kodak isilele ukwazisa abathengi, ngelixa abo bakhuphisana nayo bengathandabuzi ukulibamba ithuba.

Ikhamera yokuqala yabathengi kwihlabathi yayiyi-Kodak No. 1

Ngaphambi kwee-1980, i-Kodak yayinamandla okucinga kwaye yayisazi ukwenza ishishini. Ifemu yaseMelika inikwa udumo ngokusungulwa kwekhamera yokuqala yabathengi emhlabeni. Isixhobo sakhishwa kwi-1888 phantsi kwegama le "Kodak No. 1".

Isixhobo sokuvuna senziwe ngebhokisi yomthi egqunywe ngofele. Ukuba umntu angayijonga engazi ukuba yikhamera, anganengxaki yokuqonda injongo yayo.

IMyuziyam yeSizwe yezeMithombo yeendaba ikhupha imifanekiso ethathwe nge-Kodak No. 1

Nokuba yeyiphi na, i-Kodak No. 1 isisixhobo se-iconic, ethe yabangela inguquko yeefoto. Kwakuthengiswa njenge "Ucofa iqhosha, senza okunye", eyayisisilo esikhulu kwikhamera efikelelekayo ngelo xesha.

Ukuhlawula imbeko kwezi zixhobo zotshintsho, iNational Media Museum ipapashe uthotho lwemifanekiso efakwe nayo. Iifoto zinokubonakala okumangalisayo kweediliya, ezihlala ziluvuyo ukubona kwihlabathi elilawulwa kukufota kwidijithali.

Inkqubo yokuphuhlisa iifoto yayinde

Bambalwa abantu abakhumbulayo ukuba isiqubulo esikhankanywe apha ngasentla asinakuba kude nenyaniso. Ukucofa iqhosha nje ngokuqinisekileyo bekungayi kubamba ifoto, njengoko iifoto kuye kwafuneka ukuba ziwubambe umboniso, zitsale umtya ukuvula i-shutter, kwaye ekugqibeleni ucinezele iqhosha lokuthatha ifoto.

Ngaphaya koko, kwakungekho sijongi, okuthetha ukuba abasebenzisi babedubula ngokungaboni kwaye kufuneka baseke uyilo ngokuqikelela. Cinga ukuba kwakuphelele apho? Ewe, cinga kwakhona, emva kokubanjwa kwe-100, abafoti banyanzelwa ukuba bathumele ikhamera ku-Kodak ukuphuhlisa ifilimu kwaye bayitshintshe entsha kraca.

Iziphumo zaziqulathe ikhulu leeprinti ezimile okwesangqa. Sekunjalo, iteknoloji yayimangalisa ngo-1888 kwaye iMyuziyam yeSizwe yeMedia ifuna ukuvuyisana nayo ukukhulula ezi foto.
