Spirit Photography

Spirit photography is what seems to be the effect of radiation of some sort on photosensitive film. The 1870's saw the first general acceptance that there might be something credible to at least some aspects of spirit photography.

Strangely though, it is spirit photography that seems to provide the most scientific evidence of ghosts. Spirit photography soon became a popular pastime and literally thousands of dollars were made from those who came to have their portraits taken. Spirit photography of today differs greatly from that of days gone by however.

Despite such notable interest in the field, little was heard of spirit photography (outside of Spiritualist circles) for a number of years.

Originally almost all photographs were black and white. Although methods for developing color photos were available as early as the late 19th century, they did not become widely available until the 1940s or 50s, and even in until the 1960s most photographs were taken in black and white. Since then, colour photography has dominated popular photography, although the black and white format remains popular for amateur photographers and artists. Black and white film is considerably easier to develop than color. (wikipedia)

Most traditional photographs are produced with a two-step chemical process. In the two-step process, the film holds a negative image (colours and lights/darks are inverted), which is then transferred onto photographic paper as a positive image. Another widely used film is the positive film used for producing transparencies, usually mounted in cardboard or plastic frames called slides. Slides are widely used by professionals mostly due to their sharpness and accuracy of colour rendition. Most photographs published in magazines are still originally taken on color transparency film.
