Another look at the Ohio UFO I filmed a few weeks ago, and my favorite family photo, plus a very important Announcement on becoming a full Youtube Partner. Thank you, all of you who supported me in this effort. My name is "Tugs" Wilson, and I will sub to you if you sub to me, please let me know.
The daguerreotype ( /dəˈɡɛrətaɪp/; French: daguerréotype) was the first commercially successful photographic process. The image is a direct positive made in the camera on a silver plated copper or brass plate. The surface of a daguerreotype is like a mirror, the image is made directly on the silvered surface, is very fragile and can be rubbed off with a finger, and the finished plate has to be angled to reflect some dark surface into it to view the image properly.
Daguerreotypes are distinct from Ambrotypes (a thinly exposed image on a glass plate using the wet plate collodion process) and the later, less expensive Tintypes (where the base was an iron plate also using the wet plate collodion process). Ambrotypes and Tintypes may be found in similar cases made from thermoplastic or wood covered in leather,paper or fabric. These images (and paper prints) in period cases may be mistakenly sold as Daguerrotypes. A Daguerrotype can be distinguished by the silvered plate and the mirror surface of the image.
It was developed by Louis Daguerre together with Joseph Nicéphore Niépce. Niepce had produced the first photographic image in the camera obscura using asphaltum on a copper plate sensitised with lavender oil that required exposures as long as eight hours.
The image in a Daguerreotype is formed by the amalgam, or alloy, of mercury and silver. Mercury vapor from a pool of heated mercury is used to develop the plate that consists of a copper plate with a thin coating of silver rolled in contact that has previously been sensitised to light with iodine vapour so as to form silver iodide crystals on the silver surface of the plate.
Exposure times were later reduced by using other silver halides: silver bromide and silver chloride, and by replacing the Chevalier lenses with much larger, faster lenses designed by Joseph Petzval.
The image is formed on the surface of the silver plate (resembling the surface of a mirror) and is unstable; it can easily be rubbed off and will oxidize in the air, so from the outset daguerreotypes were mounted in sealed cases or frames with a glass cover.
When viewing the daguerreotype, a dark surface is reflected into the mirrored silver surface, and the reproduction of detail in sharp photographs is very good, partly because of the perfectly flat surface.
Although daguerreotypes are unique images, they could be copied by redaguerreotyping the original.
