Daguerreotype: Electroplating Silver onto Copper Plates

[Fragomeni]

The Cdags.org forum hasn't been working for a while so posting this here in case it's of use to anyone working with daguerreotype.

I've been electroplating my own plates with good success since starting out and several people getting started in daguerreotypy and some veterans who have been unable to readily get plates have been asking me about my electroplating process so I created a video to describe my process.

This is the video:


This has been working well for me. I'm happy to answer any questions if anyone gets into using this process.

Thanks for the nice words on the video. I figured that learning this process was valuable for me and since I’ve been getting questions about it, there are at least a few people out there who may benefit from the details.
