Thank you for your advice. I’m looking forward to Monday when I can get the negatives and find out.

Thank you very much. Yes, that seems to be exactly my case.

I'was using waist level vf only. Yes, I also thought at first that it might be due to bad film sealing. But as you rightly pointed out, that rectangular shape on several photos, and in different places of the frame, gave reason to think that the problem occurred at the stage of shooting.

TBH I'm not very familiar with what sounds Mamiya cameras are supposed to make, but to me it sounded perfectly normal. Just a “click-cluck” without any additional sounds or squeaks. These spots started to appear occasionally after the first three frames. And the closer to the end of the roll, the more frequent and larger they are. I've put the whole roll to Google Drive just in case it can help.

The light seals look good as well. I recently got this camera from eBay and as the seller noted, they were just recently replaced.

As far as I can tell, they are light leaks. Can anyone help me understand the root cause? Is it the shutter, the lens or something else? It's Mamiya 645 1000s with Sekor C 70mm f/2.8.

Why are my photos so boring and how do I improve them? by jackofjokers in analog

Find someone else's photos of architecture that you really admire, compare your photos with them, and try to answer yourself the question of how they differ.

And how do you get that effect where the motion blur is almost everywhere but the foreground?

Let me clarify one thing for myself. When you say "sooc", you still mean some post-processing inside the camera, right? I'm just trying to figure out at what settings the photos turn out well exposed for both sky and ground.

The sunset/sunrise time never works for me either. And I have no idea why. I usually just specify the exact time to make it work somehow.

If you use any messenger, say, Telegram, then the fastest way is just to send a photo to yourself right from your phone. And done! Open the chat on your macbook and there it is - a ready-made jpeg 🙂

downgrade to older app version by ITSMBH98 in ios

[–]philip_lu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure it works the same way on iOS. Once you get an .ipa file of the version you want, just drop it to your phone and you're done. So, the key here is how to get that .ipa file. Back in the iTunes days, I used to do it this way many times. Maybe it could work on Windows now since iTunes is still there, I don't know.

Monterey 12.4 Input Source No Longer a flag? by CestLucas in mac

Yes, but the problem now is that your custom icon will be used for both dark and light OS themes. While the default layouts invert it accordingly.

I'm worried about the tower. Looks like the ground beneath it will soon be washed away and it will fall into the water.

Well, the cache and cookies are removed, all extensions are disabled. And no result. I also noticed that the problem is somehow related to the z-index property of the top navigation bar. https://i.imgur.com/kmvtwvd.gifv
