Crimean War photographs

I have just purchased my first sword of 2010, a British 1821 pattern heavy cavalry officer's sword belonging to George Sapte Burnand of the 5th Dragoon Guards. While researching Burnand, I came across this site of photographs of the Crimean War which is absolutely amazing. These must be some of the earliest, if not the earliest campaign photographs ever taken? Photos include the aftermath of the Charge of the Light Brigade as well as having at least two photographs of Burnand (albeit incorrectly labelled Captain Bernard).
