The 35mm camera and film format was used by the majority of photographers for several decades because the mirror and prism system let them see the same image through the viewfinder as well as the lens and the colour resolution on this film size was excellent. The exposed film was developed in a darkroom using chemicals and framed in cardboard slides for viewing. Many of the subjects, landscapes, and scenes taken before the 1990s were photographed in 35mm and have disappeared from popular culture as magazine publishing is too expensive and projectors and screens have been discarded.
The original 35mm images were captured on thin layers of light-sensitive silver halide crystals and had deteriorated over time. They have been restored using a flatbed scanner that converted the slides into digital image files, then cropped, edited, and enhanced using Adobe Photoshop.
