2nd April 1845 - French physicists Leon Foucault & Louis Fizeau made the first successful photo of the sun. In a major technological feat, they pointed their camera at Earth’s star and made an exposure of 1/60th of a second. The image was a daguerrotype about 4.7 inches diameter.

I almost feel sorry for the potty mouthed Telegraph junior editor as Femi leaves her an embarrassed wreck.

Lee Miller was an American photographer & photojournalist. Also a fashion model in New York in the 1920s. In the 30's she moved to Paris, to be a fashion & fine art photographer, working with Man Ray as his student, muse and lover. In WWII, she was a war correspondent for Vogue.

Polaroid founder Edwin Land announced the SX-70 at a company annual meeting on this day in April 1972. On stage, he took out a folded SX-70 from his suit coat pocket and in ten seconds took five pictures, both actions impossible with previous Land Cameras. .

Our next workshop is coming up ... Toning - a day exploring different ways of toning your darkroom prints. Including using Halochrome, a toning technique that gives your prints a metallic mirror silver finish (judging the second pic - quite hard to photography successfully 📷 )

Dorothea Lange was a pioneering American documentary photographer known for her powerful images capturing the struggles of the Great Depression and the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.

Robert Capa was a Hungarian-born photojournalist known for his daring & dramatic war photography. He covered major conflicts such as the Spanish Civil War, World War II, & the First Indochina War, capturing iconic images that have become symbols of the brutality and chaos of war.

Right, It's time for one of our legendary day trips (ok, legendary might be a bit premature, but we're working on it 📷 ) - who wants to go take some awesome photos at Orford Ness?

Muybridge's work was commissioned by Leland Stanford, the industrialist, former Governor of California, and horseman, who was interested in horse gait analysis. Legend has it that Stanford had a wager to prove all four feet of a horse left the ground when it ran.

Does anyone know a good locksmith? Some old tenants are leaving that I'm keen to keep out...

Yay, I have a couple of watergrams in this year’s sock gallery summer exhibition, in Loughborough. Thanks to the selectors.
