He placed the camera at the window of his study and called the experiment \u201cRetina.\u201d After several days of exposure, he removed the paper. Wherever light had struck the surface, the silver nitrate had darkened more intensely. A first <strong data-start=\"557\" data-end=\"575\">negative image<\/strong> had formed: a small, upside-down representation of the outside world. But it was a fleeting image. When the camera was opened, the paper continued to be exposed to light, and the image gradually faded. Ni\u00e9pce was holding the world\u2019s first photograph in his hands \u2013 but he had no way to <strong data-start=\"863\" data-end=\"870\">fix<\/strong> it.

Make sure to fix the camera in place securely \u2013 whether outdoors on a fence or pole, or indoors on a windowsill.

Indoor exposures generally require much longer \u2013 often several weeks or even months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"864\" data-end=\"1021\"><span style=\"font-size: 95%;\">Good to know: Overexposure is not possible with this technique.
