Drop in at CDags from time-to-time, many changes are coming. So much light – so little time. :) Perhaps we will see you back when you teach your son to make a daguerreotype!

Not that hard! If you want some of your own shoot me an e-mail and we can work something out, I suppose. I used the Tilez font (free) and laser-engraved them onto pieces of beechwood. Not that hard!

]]> Comment on Contact Printing a Daguerreotype by Jonathan http://www.shinyphotos.com/2008/01/28/contact-printing-a-daguerreotype/comment-page-1/#comment-11923 Jonathan Thu, 21 Apr 2011 13:56:46 +0000 http://www.shinyphotos.com/2008/01/28/contact-printing-a-daguerreotype/#comment-11923 The quality is good but it is not the same quality as an in-camera daguerreotype. Just like when you enlarge a 35mm negative in the darkroom onto 8x10 paper you see grain and lose sharpness. An enlargement of any kind never looks as good as the contact print. Shooting digitally and printing on OHP yields a fairly low-grain result but you can still tell. You can do a lot to improve the result, however. Don't contact-print a daguerreotype shot at f/22. Daguerreotypes are hardly ever shot with such a deep depth of field. Shoot a digital image at f/1.8 on a dSLR and you'll be much more convincing.
