History
- Back in the days before cellphones or digital cameras, photos were taken on film.
- The most popular type of film used since the 1960's was what was known as 135 film (negatives). You can identify this type of film by holding it to a light source and looking at the colours. If they seem inverted to you then you have a negative.
- 35mm slides were used as a way to look at your photos by inserting them into a projector and shining a light through them onto a screen. They can be identified by the fact that they are not negative like the previously mentioned film and they are not bundled together in a strip (each photo is in its own plastic shield)
Downsides
- 35mm slides and negatives can loose their quaility over years of exposure to the elements
- My converting them to a digital format, you are effectively allowing them to last for decades (and more)
- It is not easy to find old projectors that will be able to show your old slides
SAVE YOUR PHOTOS ANYWHERE
WE LIVE IN A DIGITAL WORLD so you should be able to view them on digital devices
What if I want my photos printed?
If you are the sort of person that likes to have physical photos but does not know whether your 35mm slides are worth printing, then having them scanned is a wonderful idea! Once the photos have been scanned then you be able to view them all in glorious detail and can print the best ones that you want to keep physically.
