velcro the microwave and play-doh have nothing to do with
film aside from the fact that They were all accidental inventions in 1727 a
german doctor named johann heinrich schultz was working
with silver nitrate That would change color when exposed
to light to figure out It was light and not heat Which
caused this discoloration shultz tried baking these nitrates he started
placing cutouts over the solution and exposed it to light
creating a permanent shadow of the cutout unlocking the Keys
to photography about 100 years later
Which US liquid iodine on a silver copper plate
allowed for more detailed images other than just shadows this method
was used for the first true photographs Unfortunately the
original wet plate made only one Photo per exposure until
1841 when William Henry fox talbot created a process
That would make a negative image Just Like a mold for
vinyl Record this negative image is used to make
multiple Positive copies From A single
negative image the dry plate was later invented and used in
combination with a paper base to create the first flexible
role of film these roles made photography portable
simple and consumer friendly the downside However was
that nitrate film is dangerous the biggest issues were
seen in movie theaters nitrate film reels had to pass over an
extremely hot light bulb to project an image it even caused
a fire in Paris in 1897 Which claimed
126 lives to make matters worse
nitrate film produces ITS own oxygen so a film
real catches on fire it must burn itself out until the 1950s
special fireproof booths had to be built in theaters so
what changed in the 1950s that dosed the Need for fireproof
booths cellulose acetate film happened or safety
film for short so Why is it called safety film well
most obviously freak Because it didn't create self fueling unstoppable
fires Of course there was a downside However about 10
years after safety film became popular reports began
popping up of the film starting to degrade releasing
acidic acid and unpleasant smells this became known AS
vinegar syndrome and brought a great deal of focus to the
overall Quality and shelf life of film while
this process has been slowed down to about 50 years in ideal
conditions It's still an issue with Modern film why
haven't we fixed this yet well development of film technology has
slowed significantly due to the masses mostly using digital
photography methods around the MID 2000s their ability to
quickly preview shots and Store thousands of images made digital cameras
much easier and more convenient than film
photography overtook the market so much that consumer film
sales dropped to less than 1% of what
They were during film's peak years so does film still have ground to stand on
Where is it headed well there still some advantages to film the main being
detail film doesn't have pixels like a digital Camera
therefore film's resolution is calculated through angular resolution
the general ability to distinguish small details of an object
standard 35 mm film resolution Falls between 4 and 16
megapixels with larger film sizes reaching AS high AS
400 megapixels film also excels in
shutter LAG increased control over exposure levels improved color
saturation accuracy Quality and greater Dynamic range lenses
and Camera equipment for film cameras are also considerably
cheaper in comparison to their digital counterparts making entry much
more affordable so while digital video and photography have
taken quite a toll on film It's still clings to life with
many analog pur and even social media photographers using
It exclusively asram has over 11.5
million photos tagged with #film #film isn Dead and
35 so for now film is still alive But I
