Just wanted to add that, as I'm discovering LLVJ things that others have seen some time ago, the daguerreotype process video was most impressive. Maybe it's a personal engram, or perhaps the style is dictated by the shooting constraints, but IMO that's the way really good portraits should look. We have a number of old portraits in the family, including some small tintypes about 1-1/2 inches in size (example attached), and I suspect that 100 years from now, those classic portraits of the mid-to-late 1800's will be holding up a lot better than the "family-affordable" portrait studio prints of the past 30 years.
