Title: The first photo ever taken......
Post by: Anonymous on September 12, 2004, 05:50:25 pm: Here it is. Pretty cool to think it took 8 hours to expose this image.

The first acclaimed photograph, taken in 1827 by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, Point de vue du Gras.

Is it the front of a boat ? A piece of lemon pie ? An open zipper ? A UFO ? A fox ?

Whoever figures it out wins a year-supply of Turtle Wax for dentures.

The 16 x 20 cm view...shows the courtyard of his country estate Le Gras in the village of St. Loup-de-Varennes, and was taken from an upper window...Niépce repeated the view once more on a copper plate in 1829, and sent it to [Louis Jacques Mandé] Daguerre before signing a partnership agreement with him on 14th December. Neither the earlier nor the later picture has survived...

I really needed that year supply of Turtle Wax for my Dentures......

I knew this Jeopardy knowledge would come in handy at some point :-)
