- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Hello, all. I'm hoping you might be able to help with a question I have about pre-1900s camera shutters.
Question: Before 1900, could a photographer take a photo of themselves alone (without a mirror) with a device like a shutter release cord/string or even a timed shutter?
A few notes:
- I believe air shutter release bulbs weren't invented until early 1900s example here.
- Could it be possible that some photographers used a makeshift string attached to the shutter?
- Perhaps there was a timed shutter with a winding device on top. Example here.
Thank you!
