Subie en blanco y negro (35 mm Film)

Handling an analog camera from 1976 (40 years old) with no automatic features other than the light meter is very challenging. We also have to consider you ONLY HAVE 32 shots and not infinite like we do today with our phones and cameras. All this said it is very awesome to have that pressure and try your best to get a good shoot and know that you probably won’t see it for weeks or months until you reveal the film. To develop the film, there is a step where you need to be in THE DARK ROOM because if the film gets exposed to light before the time it will get damaged. After you’ve successfully put the film in a container safe from the light you have to follow a very meticulus process that the first time it feels like you are in a Chemistry lab. You need to have the multiple chemicals at a specific temperature and you need to put the film in each chemical for a very specific time aswell no more no less. After all of this you need to dry the film. And you make a contact sheet like the one where you can see all the photos in rows to make this happen you need to put the film in a light machine that will shine trought the film into a paper that will receive the light and then it will print into the special paper. Since the exposure comes from a light source if you stop the light from reaching the paper you will get white on the paper. Like in a photo below I put my hands and a key so the light won’t expose that part.
