UK - Photography - Generic 35mm film emulsion

An aerial detail of many coils of undeveloped, generic 35mm film emulsion, collected before disposal. Film is an antiquated analogue technology that has been largely replaced by the remarkable digital mega pixel camera and the process of recording photographic images and their safe-keeping is fast-becoming lost as a skill. The square holes to the top and bottom are for the camera winder to grasp on to, allowing the film to advance to the next frame inside the light-tight camera body. This film is unprocessed, having been removed from its cassette for display.
