A Negative
Film for 135 film cameras come in long narrow strips of chemical-coated plastic or cellulose acetate. After each image is captured by the camera onto the film strip, the film strip is advanced so that the next image is projected onto unexposed film. When the film is developed, it becomes a long strip of small negative images. This strip is often cut into sections for easier handling. In larger cameras, this piece of film may be as large as a full sheet of paper. It may even be a single image captured onto one large piece. Each of these negative images may be referred to as a negative and the entire strip or set of images may be collectively referred to as negatives. These negative images are the master images, from which all other copies will be made, and thus they are treated with care.

Famous quotes containing the word negative:
“Coming out, all the way out, is offered more and more as the political solution to our oppression. The argument goes that, if people could see just how many of us there are, some in very important places, the negative stereotype would vanish overnight. ...It is far more realistic to suppose that, if the tenth of the population that is gay became visible tomorrow, the panic of the majority of people would inspire repressive legislation of a sort that would shock even the pessimists among us.”
—Jane Rule (b. 1931)
“Most literature on the culture of adolescence focuses on peer pressure as a negative force. Warnings about the “wrong crowd” read like tornado alerts in parent manuals. . . . It is a relative term that means different things in different places. In Fort Wayne, for example, the wrong crowd meant hanging out with liberal Democrats. In Connecticut, it meant kids who weren’t planning to get a Ph.D. from Yale.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
