Sitren, Photographer Palm Springs | CA | USA | Posted: 2:57 PM on 03.30.09 ->> http://tinyurl.com/dcnvvg No megapixels, photographer probably wasn't a CPS member and likely shot at less than 3 fps, not RAW. Just guessing :)  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

They look a lot different though and don't make me nearly that much money. If so I could sell like 20 photos and probably retire. Ah, wouldn't that be nice?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Silver halide painted on silver plate? That's about as RAW as you can get! :-)  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (1) | Huh?

This photographer was a sellout. He started the whole downward spiral.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (5) | Huh?

Potentially deadly if your not careful. This process did not last long when the glass wet plate process was invented. Wet plate ambrotype, (glass plate) and ferrotype,(aka tintype) was a faster and less costly process. Their are not very many Daguerreotypes left and any that have some historical value are going at a prime.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
