Daguerreotype
Camera 1860's
The first type of camera to be widely used was the Daguerreotype camera.
This required a long exposure time with one large plate in the back
of the camera. These cameras were heavey and bulky. Because they required
a long exposure, the almost always were on a tripod. For the most part,
night photography was not in existance. Inside photography could be
done but the lighting had to be correct. The above is an example of
what a Daguerreotype camera looked like. You can read the article, The
History And Evolution Of Spy And Investigative Photography, to learn
more about daguerreotype photography.
