To have your picture taken by the very first camera you would have had to sit still for 8 hours!

Lol. what would be the point?

It would be nice if we can know the Camera name too !!!

I believe this isn't true, I remember you having to stay still for quite a while (30 mins plus) but 8 hours is excessive.

my g g g greaat grand mal used to have one its been passed down and u dnt have to wait 8 hours only 2 and 30 min

i dont think so

It would've been easier for them to paint you instead that would take like 3 hours? They painted people back then so... just saying.

damn takes forever! even though its 2 hrs 30 mins still so loooooooooooooooooong

davids a lier and hes gay

No im sure that you can click the button then go have a bath sleep watch tv and do whatever then come back last minute before it snaps?! D'uh

yup

it is great we can do r work in 8 hrs and then come quickly for photo

Its True..
One summer day in France in 1826, Joseph Niepce took the world's first photograph. It's a photo of some farm buildings and the sky. It took an exposure time of 8 hours.
