Question:

what is a Daguerreotype process?

how does it work? PS: i know it‘s on pedia but could you please translate what‘s written in a simpler sentences/words. thank you.

Answer:

secondary. is parking brake. the shoe directly related to parking cable is the shoe closest to rear.
Daguerreotype is a somewhat obsolete photographic process. Apparently a few people still do them, but it takes alot of time and you have to make a lot of the materials yourself. It's major failing over other processes, like film, is that you can't enlarge the result and you can't make copies. That's also part of the charm for people who use them today, because every photograph is truly one of a kind. Personally I consider anyone who does daguerreotypes either a extremely dedicated, a masochist or equal parts of each. Now as for the process, well it's a little complicated to explain without knowing how much you know. I took a peek at the pedia page and it seemed pretty clear, but I'll try to simplify. First if you're familiar with negative film you'll already know silver halide is light sensitive. The crystals react to light. The daguerrotype basically involves a piece of highly polished silver (as in polished until it's a more or less perfect mirror) coated with silver-halide. What happens is the silver-halide layer acts more or less as a negative, but the polished silver behind that makes it a positive. So when you take a daguerreotype you get a piece of polished silver with an image. Naturally there's a bit more chemistry involved but that's basically what the process is.
B the rear shoe is the secondary shoeand is the longest lining if there is a short and long shoe ujn
