Videos
This is the start of a photogenealogy video collection.
I plan to add more videos and I would love to hear

If you do, just contact me and let me know...
...no promises but I will do my best!

Uncased Ambrotype
The effect of viewing an uncased Ambrotype against a dark and a light background. The dark background makes the image appear positive but an ambrotype is a negative image.
Daguerreotype in different lighting conditions
A Daguerreotype uses a highly polished metal plate to support the image. This makes the image difficult to see from certain angles and in certain types of lighting. Daguerreotypes are delightfully known as a "mirror with a memory".
Removing silvering
Demonstration of how a type of deterioration in old photos, known as silvering, can be removed using polarising filters.
Camera scanning
A quick look at the camera scanning set up I use to digitise old photos.
