Today the digital cameras have taken over and movie photographers are rare. But there is essentially a small village still committed to the 120 movie format. And according to me, this village is flourishing and 120 movie is once again gaining more attention.

As an outcome to the accelerating digitalization in the society, the retro direction has grown stronger during the last decade. And as a outcome of that, analog movie photography has come back into fashion. Another critical reason for the augmenting recognition of 120 movie is the good success of Lomography – an Austrian association specialized in offered re-productions of old cameras and analog photography equipment.

The vital advantages of 120 movie is that you get finer sum and extremely reduction pellet compared to the customary 35mm format. You will get photographs of much incomparable resolution.

Film types

There are essentially two different sorts of 120 film: The customary sort which is negative film (also know as imitation film). The other is positive film (probably better well well known as slip film). Negative movie can be colour or black & white. Slide movie is regularly colour.

Two benefits of slip movie is that you can acquire aloft contrasts and marked down manifest grain. If you select to cranky routine slip movie (develop the movie as if it was a normal disastrous film), you will get very engaging images with tall contrasts and over-saturated colours.

If you conclude inventive and initial photography and seeking for a movie that is something out of the ordinary, we have some tips for you.
