Where and when photography started?

Some of the first photographers were nature photographers, of necessity. Early cameras used very slow shutter speeds, and were not suitable for making photos of moving objects, so the users tended to do a lot of landscapes, where the subjects were stationary and there was plenty of light to make the exposures.

Of of the most recognized pioneers in nature Photography is Ansel Adams who lived from Feb. 20, 1902 till April 22nd, 1984. He not only was a nature photographer but an environmentalist who worked to preserve forests.
