Latitude and Grain.
As well as the factors we have looked at, which are all indicated on the box the film comes in, there are other aspects of film you may want to consider.
Latitude.

much lower upper limit because of the high densities involved Exposure Latitude Exposure latitude is the allowable range of exposures for a given photographic emulsion. It varies with the brightness range of a scene.

LATITUDE - Commonly "Exposure latitude" - The range of brightness, including shadow detail, that a film can record in a single image before the highlights wash out or the shadows become muddy.

Latitude - amount by which a negative (or sensor in the case of digital) may be over or under exposed without much loss of image quality.

Latitude specifies north/south locations in degrees, ranging from 0° at the Equator to 90° N for the North Pole, and -90° S for the South Pole.

Latitude - The range of a given color in an image.
LCD - Liquid Crystal Display. This is the technology used in the production of most display devices, such as laptops.

Latitude. The amount of over- or under-exposure possible without a significant change in the quality of the image.
Lens.One or more pieces of optical glass used to gather and focus light rays to form an image.

Latitude. The range of camera exposures that produce acceptable images with a particular digital sensor or film.

Latitude
Is the degree by which exposure can be varied and still produce an acceptable image. The degree of latitude varies by film type. Faster films tend to have greater latitude than slower films.

RAW Latitude
One of the major advantages of digital camera RAW files is that they can maintain more 'latitude' above the exposed white point allowing us to apply digital exposure compensation and recover some highlight detail.

[edit] Latitude
Latitude is the degree by which you can over, or under expose an image, and still recover an acceptable level of quality from an exposure.

One of the greatest RAW benefits is latitude. RAW files allow the photographer to harness the full potential of each shot.

Latitude refers to the exposure tolerance of a photosensitive material.

The latitude and longitude are the two numbers behind ll (not sll). I have marked them with bold characters. The first number is the latitude of your location. The second number is your longitude. In my example the two numbers are -13.163496 and -72.

Exposure Latitude is the distance, measured in f-stops, between the lightest light and the darkest dark within an image.

Exposure latitude is a film's ability to be under- and over-exposed, and still produce a printable image.

Exposure Latitude - The range from underexposure to overexposure that produces acceptable pictures.
...

Exposure Latitude
The range, above or below optimum exposure, within which a given film can reproduce acceptable results. Negative films have the widest latitude for decent exposure.

-Exposure latitude - amount by which it is possible to over or underexpose a light sensitive material and, with standard processing, still produce acceptable results.

Because of the latitude of modern day negative films, getting the right exposure is a snap. You can actually be one stop off in exposure, in either direction, and still get a good negative suitable for printing. Negative film makes life simpler.

Negative film has a wider exposure latitude than transparency film. What this means is that if the picture is shot slightly too dark or slightly too light, it will still result in a good print.

Shoot exposure latitudes as often as possible
62. Use photomatix as seldom as possible, HDR's always have a synthetic flavor
63. Always remember what brought you to photography
64. Never shoot a person who doensn't want to be photographed

This is an area of wide latitude. Nobody likes to have their artistic ideas limited by "rules". Some folks have a natural "eye" for seeing form, content and color. Others have to work hard at understanding what it takes to make a good image.

slide film raw files have a bit more exposure latitude than JPEG files. Depending on your camera and exposure settings its possible to recover a half stop or more highlight detail and a stop or so of shadow detail during raw conversion.

Black and white film and color film for prints have more exposure latitude than chrome film.

Negatives are excellent for scanning as they have greater exposure latitude than slides. Both type of films however, will produce excellent images if the original is of high quality. Select the image you want to scan.

The length of twilight before sunrise and after sunset is heavily influenced by the latitude of the observer; therefore I will not discuss the length of each twilight phase since it is highly variable.

Slow film has fine grain (and hence high definition), high contrast but low latitude. (Latitude is the amount by which a film can be over or underexposed and still produce a reasonable image).

Slide film has less exposure latitude, that is it can only register a range of about 5 stops of light from white to black, while print film (negative film) can register about 7 stops.

If you are photographing a scene that has a high dynamic range of more than 8 or 9 "stops" of exposure difference between the lightest and darkest area, it may exceed the exposure latitude of your film or digital sensor.

We all know the earth is a sphere, but we can represent it on a rectangular map with horizontal and vertical straight lines representing latitude and longitude using a Mercator projection.

Film has great exposure latitude; meaning that you can over- or underexpose and still get a very useable image.

Advantage: Increased exposure latitude. This allows the photographer to err as much as two stops on the underexposure side and at least three stops on the overexposure side.

The attitude about latitude: While digital is catching up (and if you go through HDR hoops you can emulate film), film captures the widest range of light without the need for post-production or breaking the bank.

If you have a wide range of shutter speeds, you have more latitude in deciding what aperture to use and what kind of pictures you can take.

There is a fairly consistent date range for the peak Monarch migration in each latitude. The map illustration will give you a range of dates when the Monarch butterflies should be plentiful in your latitude.

While all of the 31,050 locations the program already knows about are in the US, you can easily enter longitude, latitude and (optionally) altitude information from anywhere.

If one chooses to take photographs then one is choosing to manipulate the environment because the exposure latitude of the camera sensor will never equal the exposure latitude of the human eye and can therefore never capture the true essence of that ...

There is actually a lot of latitude in exposure for fireworks, too, and the bursts will vary in brightness, but check your LCD to see if you're getting enough exposure. If not, speed up the ISO.

Slow, saturated, contrasty slide film gives a completely different feel to a picture than fast, grainy, high-latitude color negative film.

There are actually two digital ISO speeds: the ISO speed and the ISO speed latitude.

The sugar that is trapped in the leaves is one of the factors that causes the colors that we see in fall. Higher elevations and northern latitudes experience cool nighttime temperatures sooner than lower elevations and more southern latitudes -- ...

This data usually includes longitude and latitude coordinates, date, time and sometimes altitude, bearing and place names.

Shooting Raw gives a wider exposure latitude, which can be very useful. Occasionally, I have been able to recover blown highlights or blacked out shadows by processing the Raw file twice, and merging the results in Photoshop.

Shooting digitally, I capture files in color to give me the most creative latitude back in the studio. More often than not, I’m converting them to black and white.

What we really like about this image is the wide latitude between brights and darks as shown in the various clouds. Don't miss the rainbow streaks in the photo as well...very interesting!

Another important fact, albeit of a technical nature, to keep in mind is that black and white film has a much wider latitude than color film, thus allowing a much wider range of tones to be captured.

RAW format gives you much more latitude with exposure than shooting straight to jpeg. Although it is still much better to get the exposure right in the camera, processing a RAW file can bail you out even when you get it slightly wrong.

Coding on the film cartridges used to transmit information in relation to film speed, the length of film and the exposure latitude to the camera.

Also known as shutter delay, it is most noticeable in compact digital cameras. Today's digital SLRs have virtually no lag time. Latitude The degree to which the exposure level can be varied and still produce acceptable results.

Underexposed film will have more dark spaces that are poorly defined. Many camera manuals will state the camera's exposure latitude, the range between underexposure and overexposure in which pictures will still turn out.

GPS
