How one never forgets the good ol' days.

Oh how I miss the days when you would wait eagerly for days to see how your pictures turned out (1 hour if you were so inclined to pay for it). Fun times indeed.

It is used to make the clouds or skin tones stand out. This feature still persists in modern digital cameras.

When you first explained the shutter mechanism, I immediately got to thinking about how you could take some really dynamic and/or creepy shots with movement between exposures on the same frame (for example, of people dancing).

I know you can't do everything, but he was ready to publish at almost exactly the same time as Daguerre (Darwin/Wallace, much?), and he invented the negative-positive process (which, as you know of course, is the mechanism used in modern reversal films, and a quite different way of getting positives out of the camera). Which is the true line of the future, because you can make many prints of the same picture. Also, he lived and did his work at Lacock Abbey, offering many possibilities for misreadings in the blooper reel. BTW, with B+W negatives, if you hold them right, you can sometimes see a positive image by reflection off the silver. IIRC, works best with underexposed images.

People saw the image of him holding his rifle in what appeared to be his left hand, and not realizing that it was a mirror image, assumed he was left-handed. At least until someone noticed that the loading gate was on the wrong side of the rifle, revealing the mirror nature of the image.
