contact strip


this contact strip is a photographic image produced from film; sometimes from a film negative, and sometimes from a film positive. In a darkroom an exposed and developed piece of photographic film is placed emulsion side down, in contact with a piece of photographic paper, light is briefly shone through the negative and then the paper is developed to reveal the final print.The defining characteristic of a contact print is that the resulting print is the same size as the original, rather than having been projected through an enlarger.
