“Photography to the amateur is recreation, to the professional it is work, and hard work too, no matter how pleasurable it may be.”

Oldest surviving image of the sun taken on April 2, 1845. This daguerreotype was created by physicists Louis Fizeau and Leon Foucault, who created many images of the sun at the Paris observatory in 1844 and 1845. The exposure time was 1/60. Although lacking the details of the sun’s surface obtained later through use of filters, a few sunspots are visible.
