The Resurgence of Film Development
In recent years, the art of film development has experienced a significant resurgence in popularity.
From cumbersome equipment to compact cameras, photography has evolved significantly over the years.
The Evolution of Photography
Photography has undergone significant transformations since its inception in 1903. The early days of photography were marked by cumbersome equipment and limited exposure times. The first camera, invented by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, used a process called heliography to capture images. This process involved coating a plate with a light-sensitive substance and exposing it to light for several hours. The first commercially available camera was the Kodak No. 1, introduced in 1888. It was a box camera that used roll film and was marketed as a convenient alternative to wet plate photography.
The Golden Age of Photography
The early 20th century saw the rise of photography as an art form. The introduction of the 35mm camera in 1913 revolutionized the industry.
The club’s 50th anniversary is being celebrated with a special exhibition at the Highland Folk Museum in Inverness.
