Some noise is random; some noise is fixed. Hot-pixel noise is fixed. What are 'hot pixels'? Read More...
Dark slide: Cut film holders used on large format cameras.
Day light film: Color film for use in daylight or flash. These films are balanced to 5400K.
DARK SLIDE-The opaque slide that covers the film in a film holder, plate holder, film pack, or film magazine. AI-5 DARKROOM -A room in which all light of color quality not safe for undeveloped sensitized materials has been excluded.
Adams, Ansel: "Examples: The Making of 40 Photographs" Yes, even Ansel pulls film out of the camera without the dark slide in place. This book is the way all monographs should be. The photographer talks shop.
Also referred to as a dark slide or double dark slide, they are flat devices, slightly larger than the films they hold, which commonly hold one sheet of film on each side.
It was also impossible to reload dark slides quickly, which affected the randomness of the final images. However, I have now switched to a Phase one digital P45+ kit that produces a similarly high quality image.
Then close the flap, pick up a dark slide, and insert the darkslide all the way, so that it holds the flap closed. If you don't have the film in all the way, the flap won't close all the way, and the dark slide won't go in all the way.
A condition in which too little light reaches the film, producing a thin negative, a dark slide, or a muddy-looking print.
Unipod
Also refer as monopod.A one-legged support used to hold the camera steady. Also see "tripod".
The next step is to adjust the tone curve. Go to the dark slider and adjust it to -13 and the shadow slider to -14. This will create a strong contrast on the image.
Underexposure
A condition in which too little light reaches the film, producing a thin negative, a dark slide, or a muddy-looking print.

Unipod A one-legged support used to hold the camera steady.
Many medium and large format cameras allow for the "backs" to be switched midroll to allow for varying films to be used. In order to change backs a dark slide is placed between the film and the outside world preventing fogging of the film.
Underexposure
A condition in which too little light reaches the film or camera sensor. In general digital handles underexposure better than negative film. Underexposed film will producing a thin negative, a dark slide, or a muddy-looking print.
Ansel Adams could not have done this with an 8 x 10 view camera, which requires many minutes for setting up the tripod, focusing, stopping the lens down to taking aperture, closing the shutter, cocking the shutter, film loading, dark slide removal, ...
