How long did it take to develop pictures during the civil war?

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.

Why couldn't photographers take good pictures in the 1840s to 1860s?

Photography was invented in the mid-1800's. They didn't have the technology that we have today. Some pictures took ten minutes of the object or person being photographed to stay still to come out right. Also, cameras did not have flash or any fancy gadgets like we have on cameras today. The photographer would not know if the picture came out right until they sat in a darkroom and developed each picture, one by one. Matthew Brady is known for the pictures he too during the Civil War. He was known as the "Father of Photojournalism" and was considered to be one of the greatest photographers during the Civil War. He took the famous pictures of Abraham Lincoln, the Battle of Antietam, and many other battles and important people. It's even said that he took the picture of Lincoln that is used today on the five dollar bill and the penny. For some "good" pictures from the 1840's to the 1860's, look up Matthew Brady. You may find some that are familiar.
