The daguerreotype is an early type of photograph in which the image is exposed directly onto a mirror-polished surface of silver bearing a coating of silver halide particles deposited by iodine vapor. In later developments bromine and chlorine vapors were also used, resulting in shorter exposure times. Unlike later photographic processes that supplanted it, the daguerreotype is a direct positive image-making process with no “negative” original.

I can’t believe there isn’t a professional footballer out there that doesn’t own one of these beauties. I’m talking about a range of table football tables that are around $28,000 each.
Each table is hand made and exclusive to the client, taking 400 hours to complete. The client chooses which players he wants on each team and the craftsmen do their thing, designing each player as requested. The players can even be your own family and friends, all they need are pictures and they do the rest!
Enough about the players, the table itself has features such as on-field lighting and built in bubble levels to make sure your field is true. They also send a technician out to install your table and make sure it meets foosball standards.
Check out the pictures on the Opus website.
