It is believed that Louis happened to come across photography by accident when he left an exposed plate in a chemical cupboard, when he returned he found that an image had developed on the plate. It is believed to be due to a broken thermometer that had caused this, but Daguerre had stumbled on something that would change the world.
Below was the first picture ever to be captured using the method found by Daguerre, although the streets do look empty, they really aren’t. Its only because of the long exposure of the moving objects that the camera would not pick them up. Apart from one man who sat down to have his shoes shined.
