Fotoğrafçılık: Revizyonlar arasındaki fark

Bildiğimiz kadarıyla Mart 14 1839'da Sir John Herschel [[Royal Society]] of London'da bir dersinde fotoğrafçılık (photography) kelimesini dünyaya tanıtmıştır. Ancak aynı senenin 25 Şubat'ında Vossische Zeitung adında bir gazetede Johann von Maedler bu kelimeyi kullanmıştır. Fotoğrafçılık (photography)kelimesi Yunanca'dan gelmektedir; φωτός (phōtos).
