Civil War photographs
Long shutter-speeds were required to take photographs during the Civil War which meant photographers often required subjects to pose for shots or they captured distant subjects that made any subject blurring less noticeable. Exposures could be as long as 10-30 seconds.
In this photo provided by the Library of Congress, the camp of the Tennessee Colored Battery is pictured during the Siege of Vicksburg at Johnsonville, Tenn., in 1864., during the Civil War (AP Photo/Library of Congress)
