There is a reason to celebrate, or when photographers celebrate professional holidays. World Photographer's Day
July 12 is the day of the photographer and the day of Saint Veronica, who is the patroness of photography. The legend tells that when Jesus followed the road to Golgotha and his strength left him under the weight of the cross, Veronica handed him a handkerchief to wipe his face.Returning home, Veronica unfolded the scarf and saw the holy face displayed on the fabric. Since then, the handkerchief, famous as the Image Not Made by Hands, has been in Rome. In memory of this miracle, many professional photographers and just amateurs celebrate their holiday on the day of this saint.
From the history
In Russia, this holiday is celebrated not so long ago, but its scale is growing every year. In history, the profession of a photographer is mentioned already in 1839, when Louis Daguerre presented the latest method of capturing images at a meeting of the Academy of Sciences in Paris. After that, for a long time, photography was not given due attention as an aesthetic art. Photographers spent a lot of effort and imagination creating a picture.Even then, they used editing and overlaying prints from several negatives.
In the 19th century, with the advent of relatively light cameras and simpler techniques for printing photographs, photographic journalism began to develop. Since then, the concept of the profession of photographer has appeared. There are two trends in the development of photography: realistic and creative.
In 1912, the first professional photography studio was registered in Denmark by six photographers. Most often they worked on pictures for periodicals.
For that time, the problems of society, social inequality, poverty, exploitation of child labor were the most relevant. These pressing questions were most often displayed.
Under the photographs in the newspapers, the names of the authors of the photographs were not even indicated.
Today's photo journalism has been given limitless possibilities with the invention of the compact camera. Already the appearance in Germany in 1914 of a 35-mm "watering can" made great adjustments not only to the work of photographers, but also to all areas of science and art.
The new invention allowed photographers to see familiar objects in other, more daring angles and greatly expanded their capabilities. The outlines and forms in space have become more voluminous. In the 20th century, with the advent of the method of instant photography, which does not require any special skills in image processing, there was talk that the profession of a photographer was becoming primitive. But in this age of technological progress, the true profession of photography still finds a place in the category of art.
The day of the photographer or the day of Saint Veronica, the patroness of photography, is celebrated on July 12th. According to legend, when Jesus fell under the weight of his cross on the way to Golgotha, Veronica gave him a handkerchief to wipe his face. Upon returning home, Veronica discovered the face of the Savior, preserved on the fabric. Since then, this handkerchief, known as the Image Not Made by Hands, has been kept in Rome. In connection with this story, many professionals and amateurs of photography celebrate their professional holiday on the day of this Saint.
However, World Photography Day is celebrated every year on August 19 and is associated with the acquisition by the French government in 1839 of a patent for a method of obtaining a print called the daguerreotype.
Today, the camera is available to almost everyone, and the art of photography has become a profession that is taught in various universities around the world.

People have pictures in their hearts!
Saint Veronica, according to the Bible, gave Jesus, going to Golgotha, a cloth so that he could wipe the sweat from his face. The face of Christ was imprinted on this cloth. Nearly two millennia later, when photography was invented, the Pope proclaimed this day World Photographer's Day.
In the Middle Ages, almost every church had an image of Veronica with her sovereign (sweat). In the mysteries of the Middle Ages, Veronica also took a strong place and is still the main figure of the sixth stop of the Way of the Cross. The icon of St. Veronica The icon of St. Veronica It is believed that the name of Veronica is a distorted from the Latin vera icon ("true image") - the so-called "plats of Veronica", distinguishing it from other images of Christ. For the first time, the story of Saint Veronica appears in the apocryphal Acts of Pilate, dating back to the 4th or 5th century.

| "View from the Workshop Window" Joseph Nicéphore Niépce. |
The French inventor and partner of Niépce, Louis Daguerre (remember the daguerreotypes?), took a picture of a Parisian street in 1838, the work is called "Boulevard du Temple". The street appears deserted as the shot was taken at a 10 minute exposure, people were moving down the street too fast to stay in the photo. But one of the passers-by still stopped to shine his shoes. He remained motionless long enough to hit the photographic plate. This is the first ever photograph of a person.
In 1839, American photography pioneer Robert Hinnieser Cornelius took a self-portrait. This picture was the first portrait and self-portrait in history.
The first person to invent the negative was William Henry Fox Talbot. This event took place in 1839. The inventor called his method of shooting calotype, which means “beauty”. In the same year, Hippolyte Bayard presented the world with the first positive imprint. John Herschel, an English astronomer, physicist, mathematician, chemist, botanist and photographer, called Talbot's invention "photography" and coined the words "negative" and "positive" as well as "Snapshot".
The first color photographs appeared in the middle of the 19th century. To create them, three cameras were used - a light filter (red, green and blue) was installed on each, and then the images were combined. It was long and painstaking work in pursuit of beauty and maximum authenticity. The first color photograph was taken in 1861 by James Maxwell, an English physicist. For the first time, retouching of photographs and, at the request of the customer, making them “colored”, which was achieved by coloring with watercolors, began in 1840. It was a terrible luxury in those days.
The appearance of the first plates for color photography dates back to 1904, they were produced by the Lumiere company.
And here is another early color photograph, dated 1872, taken in the south of France by photographer Louis Duc du Auron.
The first aerial photograph was taken in 1858 by the French cartoonist Gaspard Felix Tournache. He grabbed a camera in a balloon basket and took several shots of the French village of Petit-Becetre from above. However, time ruined these pictures. Now the earliest photo taken from the air is a frame from 1860, it shows the city of Boston (USA).
The first underwater photographs were taken by William Thomas in 1856. Unfortunately, all footage from that year has been lost. Above is the first published underwater photograph (Louis Bhutan, 1890).
The first image from space was taken in New Mexico. On October 24, 1946, a 35mm camera mounted on a V-2 rocket took a picture from 65 miles above the Earth. These days, we are used to colorful NASA images, video footage from Earth's orbit. And then, in 1946, when the war had just ended, it was an unprecedented miracle to see such a thing.
The basis of the digital camera was invented in 1973. These were CCD matrices, with the help of which it was possible to obtain an image of 100x100 pixels in size.
The first astronomical electronic photo was taken using such matrices the very next year, 1974.
The history of digital photography begins with the Mavica, which was released by Sony in 1981. Mavica is an almost full-fledged DSLR with interchangeable lenses and a resolution of 570x490 pixels. However, then it was considered a "static video camera", the result of which was not a video stream, but static pictures - individual frames. Officially, the world's first digital camera is considered to be the development of Kodak, or rather Stephen Sesson. The camera he invented recorded the image on an audio cassette with magnetic tape. The image recording time from the moment the shutter button was pressed was 22 seconds.
The world's first autofocus reflex camera was released by Polaroid in 1979, and in 1985 Minolta released the camera that eventually became the standard for SLR cameras (both the sensor and the motor were contained in the camera body).
Classification of photographers, or Soap dishes and SLRs
Cameras are divided into soap dishes and DSLRs. It is a fact. Additional divisions are from the evil one and only bring confusion into children's fragile minds.
Soap dishes are pistols. It is convenient to carry them in your pocket like in a holster, quickly snatch them out and shoot in all directions. The result is not guaranteed. For either you often miss (with focus, ISO and other garbage, the existence of which you don’t even suspect), or at long distances the “bullet” loses its destructive power (sharpness and detail).
SLR is a sniper rifle. You can properly aim and kill nafig. Those. get a picture of such quality that if you squint your eyes to the nose when looking at it, pure 3D comes out. But at the same time, the rate of fire is lost, and the dimensions of the weapon increase greatly.
A fighter with a soap dish is mobile. Poorly predictable. Hasty and careless. Walking down the street, sees a fountain - BANG - 2 frames. It goes - a monument - bang - 3 frames, it goes - a dog - BANG - 5 frames. For some particularly hasty amateurs, half of the pictures are photographs of the insides of their own pocket. Or smeared color spots, well suited for the Luscher test.
A real mirror mirror is like Amundsen on an expedition to the South Pole. He walks angrily, sweating like a caravan camel. He carries a 1kg camera, a bag with a pair of lenses and a tripod screwed onto his back. He saw a fountain, a monument and a dog in the coffin. He doesn't get distracted by the little things. If he will arrange his vast economy, then at least for St. Peter's Cathedral or the pyramid of Cheops. Like a true sniper, he chooses a place, arranges it, setting it up, setting it up, taking exposure measurements. Corrects for wind, star positions and magnetic field. Then it freezes in immobility, waiting for the right light.
The soapbox is cheerful, carefree and cheerfully stupid.
Mirror is gloomy, focused and contemptuous.
The soap-maker with the joy of a neophyte-idiot puts all the photos in a row on the Internet. “Me and the fountain”, “me and the monument”, “I am running away from the dog from the previous frame”.
SLR for half an hour sawing each frame with Photoshop at the level of individual pixels. Pulls out balances of white and red with pliers. Each posted photo must include full size, RAW and instructions on how to view it correctly.
The soapbox stupidly adds dozens of other people's pictures.
Mirror mirror shits on the forums for any reason (but the Nikon Vs. Cannon topic is especially popular).
Mylnik treats his camera easily. It doesn't matter that she lathers (she's supposed to), eats batteries like a pig on acorns, and has a control system more intricate than the Cretan labyrinth with the Minotaur. That in the light it more or less captures everything, in the dark - only the darkness itself. He drops it, drenches it in the rain, and wipes the lens with spit and fingers.
The mirror has a set of filters, a collection of highly specialized cloths and brushes, daily checks the matrix for hot pixels. Any deviation from the norm drives him into depression.
And then there are filmmakers - those generally TERRIBLE people. Having met - run without looking back!
According to statistics, today only 2 out of 10 pictures taken by digital cameras are printed on paper, and in total there are more than 65 billion digital photographs printed in the world. This means that soon this number will exceed the mark of 66 billion, it will exceed the number of photographs in the world printed from film.
- I can disfigure anyone with one movement of my finger!
- Oh, you must be a jiu-jitsu master?
- No, I'm a photographer!
Cool Photographer Rules
1. The first rule of a great photographer: never show your pictures!
2. The second rule of a cool photographer - do not show your pictures to anyone! If you are still asked to show - excuse yourself. Tell me about terabytes of raw raw-offs on your computer, workload, about copyright and related rights, about contracts with Harper's Bazaar, Esquire, other glossy magazines and advertising agencies.
3. If you have a blog, from time to time post pictures of recognized photographers with moderately laudatory comments like “this is how you should shoot!”. Theorize more.
4. As a last resort, post a couple of abstract pictures with the addition “well, I'm playing the fool” (or “these are my youthful experiences”). Not more!
5. Register on as many communities, forums and sites dedicated to photography as possible. Speak often, scold moderately, without fanaticism. Use the expressions: “mediocre”, “dull shit”, “the horizon is littered”, “your matrix is dirty”, “withered colors”, “where is the idea?” (option "where is the concept?") and so on. A real cool photographer will always find something to scold. Don't praise! Beginners rot to complete destruction.
6. Learn the terminology. The words "exposure compensation", "bracketing", "crop", "polarization", "bokeh" should bounce off the teeth like "dad-mum". Use them!
7. Learn jargon and use it boldly. Call a lens a “lens”, a wide-angle lens a “wide”, a flash a “puff”, and an aperture a “hole”. Say what's more convenient.
8. Despise the rules, but hate those who do not respect them.
9. Learn the names of a couple of famous photographers and know the thesis of their statements. Use them in theorizing and criticism.
10. Install the latest version of Photoshop on your computer. English. Master the stamp. Tell everyone that you don't use Photoshop on principle! And slander everyone who uses it.
11. Photo filters are crutches for cripples! A universal lens is only suitable for the armless and legless. The professional uses different lenses for every occasion, and uses his legs and head to zoom in and out of the subject!
12. Get a camera. Remember: "Canon" is cheap and pop. Panasonic, Sony, Olympus and Konika are rubbish. As a last resort, take Nikon or Pentax. Better - Leica or Hasselblad. If funds are not enough - find a widescreen "Kyiv". It is not necessary to load expensive film into it - just carry the camera with you.
13. In general, the more lenses, flashes, filters, exposure meters you have in your bag, the cooler you are!
14. Professionals shoot on film, or on very cool digital cameras. If you don’t have money for something like 1D Mark, carry an ancient film camera with you, arguing that “digital” is far from “film”. Justify this with incorrect color reproduction, low resolution compared to film, and the relative youth of technology.
15. If you still use a digital camera - declare that you ignore the screen, and at the same time the viewfinder with a built-in exposure meter. You set all the settings by experience and by eye.
16. Find a friend with a photo studio and drink at his place more often.
17. Disappear from time to time for a day or two. Say that there was a big order, did not get out of the photo studio. Or that he flew to Kamchatka to shoot geysers in his own National Geographic helicopter.
18. Keep a diploma from some photography school on the table, but do not forget to say that you have long outgrown your teachers.
19. Memorize Ken Rockwell's article on photography. Refute it or justify it with examples, depending on the situation.
20. Thoroughly study all models of cameras - up to and including 40 years old. Regularly read the releases of new products and know by heart all the cameras, lenses, flashes available today.
21. Constantly follow the photo exhibitions. It is not necessary to visit them, it is enough to read the reviews.
If you start using these rules regularly, everyone around you will sooner or later see you as a cool photographer!
One photographer, being invited to a party, took some of his pictures in order to show them to the guests on occasion.
The hostess, seeing the pictures, exclaimed:
- What amazing photos! You seem to have a very expensive camera!
The photographer did not answer her anything, but saying goodbye at the end of the evening he said:
Thanks, dinner was great! You must have some very nice pans!
Post on one of the forums:
I recently purchased a Canon 400D camera. For a short time I have already shot a bunch of pictures and now I’m thinking about whether I can combine business with pleasure. Namely, part-time photography of weddings. I know firsthand the practice of photography - I had a decent experience of photography with Zenit. I figure out what it takes. The lens is available so far only whale, I understand that another is needed, but now I won’t pull it. Is it possible only with whale? I need an external flash, for the money I estimate for 6-8 thousand, recommend which one is better to take. I will buy an additional memory card and battery. What else is needed? A tripod with a "cable" - I don't know ?, in my opinion it is not necessary to have one.
Answer:
I recently purchased a scalpel from a medical equipment store. In a short time I have already cut a leather sofa, and almost cut my dog, and now I’m thinking about whether I can combine business with pleasure. Namely, to work as a cardiac surgeon. He is familiar with the practice of surgery firsthand - he had a decent experience in working with a can opener. I figure out what it takes. The scalpel is still unsharpened and only one, I understand that another is needed, but now I won’t pull it. Is it possible to do coronary artery bypass surgery with only one scalpel?

Here are the amazing first ten photos from around the world.
And to all photographers, amateur photographers and just people who are somehow connected with photography, I congratulate you on the day of photography, new creative ideas to you and amazing masterpieces.
Many people think that photography is painstaking work and a real art. Someone may disagree with this, but one thing is certain: high-quality photos of a talented person are always pleasing to the eye and make you admire. Every year more and more people order to get their beautiful photos and show them off to family, friends and acquaintances. And these are just one of the reasons why there is a professional holiday - Photographer's Day.
What date is the photographer's day?
The holiday is celebrated annually on the 12th. There are various theories regarding the date, one of which is described below.
The history of the holiday - Photographer's Day
Let's start with the fact that it has a second name - Saint Veronica's Day. This woman gave a cloth to Jesus, who was going to Calvary, so that He would wipe the sweat from his face. After that, His face remained on the fabric. When photography was invented, Saint Veronica was declared the patroness of all photographers by papal decree.
As for the history of photography itself, let's turn to the 19th century: in 1839, the daguerreotype became available to the world community; in other words, the first technology became available that made it possible to obtain photographic images. At the end of the 19th century, photography became more widespread, a recognized profession appeared. And in 1914, they began to create small-sized cameras that made the process of creating a photograph much more convenient.
And the date of the Day of the photographer, according to the popular version, is due to the fact that George Eastman, the founder of Kodak, was born on July 12th.
How is World Photographer's Day celebrated?
Like any other professional holiday, the photographer's day is celebrated with a variety of thematic events. There are even websites dedicated to this day and the history of photography. And for all photographers, this is a great opportunity to get together with friends and colleagues and reflect on how this activity has changed their perception of the world. The rest can order a photo session, often at a discount, learn more about the history of this wonderful activity and heartily congratulate the photographers they know.
Photography is a way to capture the unique moments of life, sincere human emotions and the most beautiful landscapes of our planet for us and for future generations. A good photograph requires a lot of effort and time, as well as the skill and talent of the photographer himself. So let's not forget their work, especially on July 12, a holiday dedicated to people who give their strength to please us with high-quality photographs - after all, this is how we discover things familiar to us from new sides.
