The world's first photograph was taken in France by Joseph Nicephore Niepce in 1862. It was an eight hour exposure involving light sensitive varnish, petroleum, and lavender.
I attempted to recreate the look by using a photograph that I took of San Francisco:
After turning the image black and white, I added noise and speckle to the photo, as well as a blur. I used an exposure layer and adjusted the gamma correction. I used the brightness and contrast layer to lower the contrast and brighten the photo a bit. This was largely a trial and error process for me. I enjoyed the contrast between the old city landscape and the ever busy San Fransisco. Oh, how the landscape had changed.
