First photograph ever?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/technology/technology.html?in_page_id=1965&in_article_id=564402

It might be a little out of focus, and need a bit of work on the composition.

But this image of a leaf has been hailed as 'priceless' by experts who believe it could be the world's first photograph.

The red picture had previously been attributed to Henry Fox Talbot, who is credited with taking the world's first photographs in the 1830s.

But some believe this image may have been created in the last years of the 18th century - more than 30 years earlier.

1. Here's something to consider....
Although it's never been proven one way or the other, the Shroud of Turin is believed by some to be the result of a photographic process developed by da Vinci.

3. A member of the team found the "blood" was vermillion. He was fired
from the team. He was a professor from the University of Kentucky. I think his name was Nichols or Nicholls.

The person who made the image confessed to the fraud.


Try this:

Put grease paint all over someone's face. Lay them down on their back. Put a clean white piece of cloth over their face and press it down so the cloth makes contact with all of the face. Lift it up and look at it.

During Christ's time a separate cloth was put over the face. Also, have you ever seen a body with its hands covering its genitals?

2. I just ran it through a photo editor. It cleans up real well.
