Grain

Random in both their shape and their distribution, metallic silver particles are most readily apparent in photographs produced using black-and-white photographic film. Color films have a more subtle manifestation of this phenomenon. Grain is more obvious in films with higher ISOs, although it is still discernible in films with lower ISOs when the image is blown up to a large size.
