It must have been quite exciting for him to succeed with it at that time!

All I can say is "that's one slow shutter speed!"
Between eight hours and three days!

From an earlier thread ...
If our long ago ancestors had been just a LITTLE more experimental, they could have taken pictures, although I doubt a live mammoth would have stood still for the process. |

There does seem to be an awful lot of archival artwork in Texas ... I seem to remember a tour shown on the Antiques Roadshow episode originating in Austin. |

| I gave it a 5 -- it was a little grainy for my taste. Plus there wasn't anything real strong to draw my eyes to as a focal point. |

Had you been viewing it contemporaneously, you might have rated it higher, it being the best photo you'd ever seen. |

True, but by definition wouldn't it have also been the worst I had ever seen? |

UT press release
Found this press release - seems appropriate to show the power of digital retouching, given the Dec rules.
Also interesting to note that the world's first picture was underexposed, so I feel in good company now when I screw up yet another shot. |
