Daguerreotype is a very old form of photography. it displays images in a small frame an there really is not much going on within the photo. Nowadays Digital photography is one hundred times more advanced. Taking photos in a daguerreotype style would of have a good while to capture something really basic and minimal compared to today. Modern time photography allows you to quickly u snap a photo of anything thing in a matter of seconds. This is a big leap in time and technology. Daguerreotype Also did not come in color. Now your able to jump between color settings with no hassle at all. Black and white is available to do be done in digital photography like a breeze and not at all in daguerreotype. The last thing that separates the photos of daguerreotype now and the digital photography of now is the actual size and scale of you image. it wasn’t possible to change the size of a daguerreotype after the process of it being made was finished . Now photos can be taken or even blow up to incredible lengths with out thought or hesitation. its clear the the today’s camera and technology are far superior. daguerreotype was very special fr it time and the start of it all for photos.
