First article in what promises to be an interesting series.  Not just for newcomers to film.

 

 

In photography, there have always been “alternative processes”, ways to create pictures using different technologies from the mainstream. This was true even in the 1840s, when the choice was between Daguerreotypes and Fox Talbot's new-fangled negative-positive process. Since then, the choice has been dizzying. For capturing the image we've had (among others) wet plate; dry plate; cut film; roll film; 35mm; sub-miniature; Polaroid; and digital. For showing the pictures we've had (among others) salt prints; cyanotype; collodion prints; albumen prints; silver gelatin prints; bromoils; photomechanical reproduction; ink-jets; dye-subs; and the now all but ubiquitous computer screen.
