What is daguerreotype process?

  • is it a camera or process that r used to show pictures? am really confused and i only know about the man who made it and if it has process can u give me site with brief summary for the process?

  • Answer:

    I see you have a little obsession thing going with the Daguerreotype photographic process :) Daguerre did make minor innovations in camera design, but the term "dagguerreotype" refers to the way the images were processed onto metal plates. Not the cameras. I don't have a site that tells everything in detail about Louis Daguerre's photographic process, but wikipedia gives a brief synopsis of it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daguerrotype#Invention Mr. Daguerre wasn't the first to create a way to record light values to a substrate to create a permanent photographic image, but he was the innovator that developed a photographic process that was easy, quick, safe, and economical enough to make photography feasible and widely available. A good book to inform you of dageurre and the following innovations from others that followed is a book called, "Camera: A History of Photography from Daguerreotype to Digital". I bought this book from Barnes and Nobles a while back. It's probably available online.

In your previous, tediously repetitive questions, you have stated that you've looked at wikipedia and it doesn't give the information you require. In fact, wiki gives both a very good history of photography and extensive details of the Daguerrotype process. I suggest that if you actually read the wiki articles that you say you have, you will find all the information you require. Also, consider this: if you had put the same time and effort into doing your own research as you have into persistently asking the same questions over and over here, you would have finished your homework assignment by now.

Buy a photography history book. Daguerrotype was made on a copper plate covered by mercury salts, giving a very sharp negative image that was seen especularly in positive. This process didn't bring out the first image in history, but it was the first wich made possible to people taking photographs.William Henry Fox Talbot was developping at the same years the calotype, wich later allowed making photographic negatives and copies wich daguerrotype didn't. Talbot published between 1844 and 1846 the first book of photographs called The pencil of nature
