On our visit to the Brooklyn Historical Society we had a look at the Daguerreotype images. They were created by being engraved into a copper plate. When I observed the Daguerreotype it looked pretty amazing. It had almost like a 3D view when you look at it. The Daguerreotype was cased inside a wooden frame. It was highly detailed and you can tell the work that was put in to make the Daguerreotype.
Photography today is completely different from back then. Back in the days only the rich would be able to take photos. Today everyone can take their own photos and own a digital camera. It was hard and took a lot of work in order to produce an image back then, but now it is so easy with the help of technology. Modern day photography is really cheap. People can now take pictures and save it in their computers without the need to develop them. With digital camera’s we can now adjust it to the way we want to take our photo unlike back then when the cameras were limited to its settings. Today it is also easy to produce large amounts of photographs without hassle.
