While at the Brooklyn Historical Society we learnt about the past forms of photography such as the Daguerreotype . There are a lot of differences between Daguerreotype and the type of photography cameras we use such as dslr. With modern day cameras we can instantly take multiply shoots and see them instantly to see if it was a bad shot or a great one. They both still use the same theory of capturing light and reflecting it to capture an image. We can now gather a bunch of photos on a memory card and travel with it and put it on display easier then we can in the past. Though modern day cameras are use for portraits that is not the only style of photography that it is mainly used for. Back then there used to be only one type of daguerreotype but now there are different model and various versions depending on your personal preference. One of the flaws of the Dauerreotype is that you can’t angle it as much and isnt as compact as a modern day camera. It was also a much longer process seeing how now all it take is a click of a button and two seconds later you have your image.
