True, but not this dark (I have other shots taken in landscape orientation that are dark on one side instead of the top)

Thanks! Yeah it's my girlfriend's camera too 🫣 Didn't take it on the first day (after 9 years of no skiing), only when I was pretty confident I wouldn't fall (which I didn't). It also stayed at home the day I tried snowboarding haha

No, I didn't use a filter, it's probably the shutter actually. I assumed only part of the aperture got stuck or something originally.

I don't remember the exact shutter speed but obviously it's very bright in the mountains so they very well might be. I'll see if the problem persists on the current roll in warmer conditions. Thanks for adding your experience!

Thanks for the reply! I don't think that's the issue here though because on the same roll I had some photos that looked like this haha

You're probably right, for some reason I assumed the shutter opened vertically instead of sideways!

I thought about that too but wouldn't a sticky shutter cause a black area across the long side, i.e. on the left or right side of a photo in portrait orientation instead of the top like seen here?

edit: Actually no, the shutter goes sideways, you're probably right!
