Welcome
The term "Framed" refers to the act of enclosing or presenting something within a frame, which is a common practice in photography to enhance the visual appeal of an image. "Shot" relates to capturing a photograph, often used to describe the act of taking a picture. Together, "The Framed Shot" suggests a focus on both the artistic presentation of photographs and the moments captured, implying a professional and curated approach to photography. The name evokes a sense of artistry and attention to detail in the photography business.
35mm Film
35mm film is a standardized photographic film format that has been widely used for both still photography and motion pictures since the late 19th century. It gained immense popularity due to its versatility, image quality, and portability, becoming a dominant format in the film industry and significantly impacting the development of both photography and cinematography. The "35mm" refers to the width of the film strip itself, approximately 35 millimeters, or about 1.38 inches. The film is essentially a strip of flexible plastic (originally cellulose nitrate, later replaced by safer acetate and polyester bases) coated with a light-sensitive emulsion containing silver halide crystals. These crystals react to light when exposed, capturing the image. The film also features perforations (sprocket holes) along its edges that engage with the camera's film transport mechanism. When a photograph is taken with a 35mm camera, the shutter opens for a brief period, exposing the film to light through the lens. The light causes a chemical change in the silver halide crystals, creating a latent (invisible) image. After exposure, the film is rolled forward to bring a fresh section into position for the next shot. Once the roll is finished, it is typically sent to a photo lab for processing where chemicals are used to develop and fix the image, revealing either a negative or a positive image on the film. Color film works similarly, but uses multiple emulsion layers, each sensitive to a different primary color (red, green, or blue), separated by filters.
