If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.


So we have an Arts thread and the occasional game screenshots thread, so what about a "life screenshot" thread? Show off your photographic and film masterpieces here, talk about the equipment you use or techniques you do physically or digitally to achieve your pictures, and boast if you won some competition or got your photos or videos featured somewhere.

Highlight your best photos, or just dump albums of them and I'll link them here, video channels also. I'll sort 'em better when they start piling up.

As much as I love photography I have never actually had an interest in taking my own photos.

If I only scanned in the negatives of my and Ec Mrs Chalies travels. I did a ton of pretty good architectural shots and people. That’s one of my regrets. I didn’t keep my negatives.

Completely serious question. What's a negative?

I used to shoot with a Ricoh 35mm SLR camera. I still have it somewhere.

It used a photosensitive film that had to be processed chemically. The camera exposed the film to light. When processed, the film had a reverse color image on it. You put that over a photosensitive paper and exposed it to light shone through the film. Then you processed that paper to make a picture. The film, after being processed, was called a negative because it looked like a negative image when you looked at it.

Don't worry, when I was growing up digital cameras weren't a thing.

Completely serious question. What's a negative?

Negatives are the strips of film that have been developed so that you can print them out and look at them directly without the film being destroyed in the process. In the picture below, it's the strip of film above the CD, or the pile below the cat.



So you start off with the roll of film (the thing to the right of the cat), take pictures on an analog camera, then wind the camera up when the roll is filled (usually 24 or 36 shots, or "exposures" as the camera's -CLICK!- noise is it opening a trapdoor to expose the film to the light through the lense for a millisecond or so).

Then you either develop it yourself like the video in the OP (which at one stage you have to do in complete darkness as the film is still sensitive to light), or get it done professionally by mailing the film roll off in the post. When I was young (<2000's) you could just send it off to Boots or most pharmacists as they all had 24/hr development labs. Now it's rare to see, but the cost is about the same regardless (It's like £3-6 a roll to buy, then another £7-9 per roll to get them developed and printed).

The development process "freezes" the light captured on the film, so the film isn't sensitive to light anymore, and brings it out so it's visible on the film as you can see in the little shapes on the film strip.

The reason it's called a Negative is because the developed film comes out in inverted colours - Black is White, White is Black, Colours are their opposites, etc. Only when they are printed out are the colours inverted, which is a double negative (inverting the inverted), so the prints come out in the right colour they are seen irl, like the cat photo on the left.

And/Or you can get them scanned and digitised which adds a bit onto the cost/makes it cheaper than printing them out, so you can shove 'em on facebook or imgur like I do.

Film kinda died out once digital cameras were developed and become cheaper for anyone to buy as the technology progressed. On the bright side, it made professional film cameras dead-cheap. My camera on release in the 1980's would cost a bomb, not to mention the lenses... today I e-bay'd the thing, a flash, and a lense for £40.
