Priceless
The antiquated process in which daguerreotypes were made is truly remarkable. Daguerreotypes were made in an intricated way. In 1837, the daguerreotype was the first successful photographic procedure. In this primitive process the photographer makes the image in the camera by use of a copper plate. The copper plate is coated with silver iodide, then, it is exposed to light in a camera, then fumed it is with mercury vapour and at this time it is placed in salt. Inconcievably, a permanent image is formed. The exterior of a daguerreotype is like a mirror, with the image made directly on the silvered surface. Because of it’s fragility it can be rubbed off by using one’s finger.
Taking a trip to BHS was a wonderful experience. I didnt realized that we’ve come such a long way in photograhy. In the past, photograhers used ominious solutions like mercury to produce memories. Now, we use less harmful medias such as film and media cards – Eventhough film is becoming obsolete. Ingenuity has reached its pivotal point. Today, with just a click from our phones we can capture our priceless memories. In the past, only the affluent could afford daguerreotypes. However, even the lower class can enjoy embracing their precious memories nowadays.
