Soon there were small, portable camera obscuras, but an important piece was missing..
Then in 1827 Joseph Nicéphore Niépce added the final touch. He added *film* to create the first successful photograph, and the modern camera was born:
glass lens, a dark box, and film.

Lenses and Optics - 17th century
In the 17th century, the modern camera came one step closer when Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens perfected the understanding of optics and the process of making high quality glass lenses.

The Box - approx 500 BCE
In ancient times, Greek and Chinese philosophers discovered a curious optical effect, and it worked like this:
Inside a completely dark room, a tiny hole is created in one wall. Through the hole light is focused, and the outside scene is projected (upside down) on the opposite wall.
The effect came to be known as the "camera obscura" which is Latin for "dark room". This was the first camera. The hole acted like a lens, focusing and projecting light onto the wall of the dark chamber.
