light-sensitive paper

Photograph is an image created by collecting an array of photons onto light-sensitive paper.

These were made using light-sensitive paper of the same width and length as the film itself, and developed as though a still photograph.

In 1834 Fox Talbot put a leaf on light-sensitive paper and achieved a ghost-like image.

When processed, the dry paper negatives are pressed against a sheet of unexposed light-sensitive paper and made into a positive picture.

One work achieves a representation of a gracefully swimming snake by submerging and wiggling light-sensitive paper in water.

It requires the use of materials from silver-halide based photography (light-sensitive paper, developer and fixer), but even so it is not a photograph.

Barely a decade later, however, photography using a negative and light-sensitive paper brought about a revolution, enabling photographs to be enlarged and endlessly reproduced.

One form of sensitive and high-speed recorder used beams of ultraviolet light reflected off mirror galvanometers, directed at light-sensitive paper.

"In the 1830's," he said, "Fox Talbot recorded the passing of sunlight through the leaves of plants by placing them on light-sensitive paper."

NOT long ago, printing your own photographs required a darkroom packed with intimidating timers, light-sensitive papers and vats of chemicals.

These devices consisted of glass disks (one per font) that spun in front of a light source to selectively expose characters onto light-sensitive paper.

She wanted to show me how she made her "photogenics" (abstracts of light and dark swirls of light) on light-sensitive paper without using a camera.

The non-silver cyanotype printing process worked by pressing actual specimens in contact with light-sensitive paper; hence the word "impression" in the book's title.

Arranging the objects on light-sensitive paper, he produced photograms, as William Henry Fox Talbot had done almost 80 years before, but now abstract ones.

Where Man Ray and Moholy placed everyday objects on light-sensitive paper to record their shadows, Mr. Fuss dispenses with such recognizable effects.

So Hitachi gave up on the ordinary process, which involves exposing a pattern of circuitry on silicon, much as a photographic enlarger projects an image on light-sensitive paper.

In her talks to students and photography groups, Ms. Rainer likes to recall Anna Atkins, a mid-19th-century biologist who experimented with light-sensitive paper to record species of algae.

He coined the term for a series of color photographs he took directly from a television broadcast without a camera, by fastening a piece of light-sensitive paper directly on the screen.

As the exhibition demonstrates, actual plants were pressed (and taped) to the pages of thick specimen albums or onto sheets of light-sensitive paper in what were initially called photogenic drawings.

Utocolor or Uto paper was a light-sensitive paper for color photography manufactured by Dr. J.H. Smith of Zurich, Switzerland and available by early 1907.

Like H. Fox Talbot, who invented a photographic process in the 1830's by exposing objects placed on light-sensitive paper to sunlight, Brauner also used sunlight to create his photograms.

He lived in one of the first electrified buildings in Montparnasse, where he invented the rayograph (named for him) by placing kitchen utensils onto light-sensitive paper and then turning on the lights.

Finally, a few diversions for guests should be included for the meal's finale - a portable watercolor set, perhaps, or a sunprint kit (light-sensitive paper on which objects are placed to produce an image).

One of the earliest photographic techniques used to replicate natural phenomena were photograms, a generic term for photographs made by laying specimens onto sheets of light-sensitive paper and then exposing them to light.

During this time, she continued portrait photography at her studio, while also embarking upon an experimental type of photographic work that artist Leo Katz later named photogenics: abstract black-and-white images produced by moving torches and candles over light-sensitive paper.
