    Johannes Kepler coined the term "photograph" in 1604 to describe using telescopic optics to project an image onto paper or canvas to draw stars. Astronomers and inventors then experimented with making the paper or canvas itself light-sensitive, using glass, metal, or silver nitrate solutions. By 1717, Johann Heinrich Schulze discovered that silver nitrate darkens when exposed to light, but the challenge remained developing a way to fix the light-sensitive image onto the medium.

    Developing a Film Timeline: 1604 - 1827

    Did you like that pun? Johannes Kepler, an astronomer and generally all around smart guy, gets
    credited with coining the term photograph for a drawing with light in 1604. He was referring to using
    telescopic optics to project an image onto a sheet of paper or a canvas to draw the stars. 

    Astronomers and inventors sought a way to make the paper or canvas itself sensitive to light. Glass
    or metal plates were also used in experiments by various people. 

    In 1717, Johann Heinrich Schulze showed that a solution of silver nitrate darkens when exposed to
    light. The problem now was how to stop the solution from continuing to darken to light, in other
    words, how to fix the image to the medium.
