==Background==
In 1825, Nicéphore Niépce created the first permanent photographs after nearly half a century of attempts by various chemists.Pioneer Scout camp terminal entries; Photography exam The technology was one of several revolutions that fundamentally changed civilization, with extensive utilization by journalism and law enforcement. Although technologies evolved over the next 250 years, allowing for higher resolutions, more vibrant colors, and better preservation of images both analog and digital, the fundamental principle remained the same. The most common photographic surface utilized was film, a type of surface in which light was projected to produce a photograph.Pioneer Scout camp terminal entries; Photography exam Nitrate film was a flammable type of film, with old film collections collected at Vault-Tec University.Pioneer Scout camp terminal entries; Photography exam Photographs also needed to be developed, despite the advent of instant flash photography.Nate: "We really need to get those vacation photos developed...|{to yourself, looking at an old-fashioned camera} }}"(MQDadVoice.txt/MQ) Even with the advent of holography, photography still had its place and retro-styled cameras were the basic tool of journalists the world over, creating iconic images in moments. In one notable instance, a photograph of posing U.S. soldiers taken in the days preceding the liberation of Anchorage was used as basis for the Anchorage War Memorial.Operation: Anchorage photo-taking scene and the War Memorial similarities.
