Daguerreotype: The daguerreotype was first thought of by Nicéphore Niépce and finished by Louis Daguerre in 1835. A photo is made using this process by shining a copper plate and reflecting the image onto the surface through the use of light. Then putting the plate into another camera tool and employing mercury vapor. Then another process is undergone to help prevent the picture from fading. The daguerreotype should avoid all light if possible or else it will fade. Cyanotype:
Created by Sir John herschel in 1842, cyanotypes have turned into what we know as blueprints today. In order to get these kinds of pictures. they have to go through a very tedious and chemical process. A paper is dressed in potassium ferricyanide and then items are placed onto the paper. Sunlight is then shone onto the paper and left to sit for a bit. Another chemical, ferric ammonium citrate, is added to the paper. After the photo is done being transferred to the paper, it is dunked into water. This turns the paper blue and VOILA! You have a cyanotype.
