Technique

Photography

Invented by Joseph Niépce in 1826, photography is based on two types of knowledge: optics, allowing an image to be captured and delivered, and chemistry used to fix it on a surface. Its inventor died in 1833, but Louis Daguerre continued his research to discover the development of the latent image reducing exposure time. At the end of the 19th century, Eastman Kodak democratized film photography by making it possible to take many photos in less time. Photography continues to evolve with the inventions of color, film, relief photos, and digital photos, or even synthesis, etc.

What is film photography?

Film photography is a photographic technique allowing you to take photos and develop them on paper

Since the 2000s and the appearance of smartphones, this process has gradually given way to digital photography.

The term “silver” takes its name from the composition of the films used in this technique, since silver molecules are found there.

Description

Les fjords du nord-ouest sont loin de tout, même pour les islandais. Ils sont aussi d’une exceptionnelle beauté, bien plus minérale et radicale que les autres régions. Cette montagne, lointaine cousine du mont Fuji, dominait un hôtel perdu dans la vallée et dans lequel nous étions les derniers visiteurs, juste avant sa fermeture saisonnière en septembre 2019. Le tout sous un ciel tourmenté, comme il se doit sous ces latitudes.
