My Technology Timeline

Above is my Technology Timeline which i made in the format of a photo collage. 
I included a full size image at the bottom of this blog post so you can see every photo or label in more detail .

The following are the included sections in my timeline -

1851 - Wet Collodion Plate Process. The Wet collodion plate process was invented by Frederick Scott Archer in London England, and was a big step forward in photography as negatives were produced on glass, rather than paper that they were previously produced on prior to the invention.

1871 - Gelatin Emulsion. Gelatin emulsion, also known as the Gelatin Silver Process, improved the wet plate process by using silver salts in gelatin. This process is still used today with available black and white film and is able to be kept for many years before it needs to be processed.
