The primary limitation of the first daguerreotypes was their long exposure time, which typically ranged from several minutes to half an hour. This made it challenging to capture images of moving subjects, resulting in mostly still life or portrait photography where the subject had to remain very still for the duration of the exposure. Additionally, the resulting images were unique and could not be easily reproduced, which limited their accessibility and usability compared to later photographic processes.
