Film photography

In 2017 B&H Photo & Video stated that film sales were increasing by 5% each year in the recent past.

[12] Film photography has become much more popular with younger generations who have become increasingly interested in the traditional photographic practice; sales in film-based cameras began to soar, and youth were seen to embrace some 19th-century technology.

In the 36 (or sometimes 24) frames challenges, a single roll of film must capture a specific event, time period or as exercises to improve photography skills.

The resulting image spans the whole sheet, divided into squares by the black borders of the film.

A tintype, also called ferrotype, is a positive photograph produced by applying a collodion-nitrocellulose solution to a thin, black-enameled metal plate immediately before exposure.

The tintype, introduced in the mid-19th century, was essentially a variation on the ambrotype, which was a unique image made on glass instead of metal.

This basically means processing a reversal film using a negative developer bath, or the contrary.

For a more sustainable photography, black and white negative film may be processed in plant-based chemicals at home.

Film processing does not use digital technology, since information is not translated into electric pulses of varying amplitude or binary data.
