Photography was some 20 years old at the beginning of the American Civil War. Mathew Brady was the most famous of the Civil War Photographers. His teams would go out in specially made wagons lugging the very heavy cameras of the day. The cameras would have to be loaded with wet treated glass plates in the back of the camera, the photographer would remove a cap from the lens for about 15 to 30 seconds, then hurriedly move to treat the plate before it dried out, and chemically transfer it to either tinplate or paper.
One would have to stand or sit very still for about 30 seconds in good daylight to have ones picture taken during the Civil War.
