Best Answer

The world's first photograph was taken by Joseph Nicephore Niepce in about 1826. It was an extremely long exposure by today's standards, over 8 hours. The pewter plate that was used wasn't nearly as light-sensitive as today's films or digital sensors used in modern cameras. The camera consisted of an entire room that had been sealed from light. There was a pinhole in one end that allowed light from the scene to enter and strike the plate, forming an image on it.
