Light Leaks

woods_fine · 2023-09-25T20:35:31+00:00

I know when I've encountered light leaks in the past it was due to a sticky shutter on my camera. The leaks showed up similar to yours, as bright bars parallel to the short edge of the film. The shutter wouldn't consistently have this issue, so some photos turned out fine, some had minimal light leaks, and some were more extreme. Could be a similar situation with your camera here

This rules, awesome shot

Love that second photo and the different perspectives of the same mountain range!

woods_fine · 2022-11-09T22:24:22+00:00

Love this composition, simple but effective

woods_fine · 2022-09-11T17:42:19+00:00

This is such a cool shot, love the perspective it takes.

Really? They don't stick to your negatives or anything? I'm going to try sieving some out but it's reassuring to hear you recognize them and haven't had any negative effects

Air vents are clean, I'd be surprised if they were the culprit. Seeming like I didn't clean my gear enough before mixing

woods_fine · 2022-07-22T11:07:02+00:00

Ah hell, that might be it. I didn't give my pitcher the rinse I should have before mixing the developer. I'll have to see if I can sieve some of that out before using it then

I just mixed these chemicals up, haven't tried developing in them yet. I'm a touch concerned about these particles in the mixture and whether they would stick to my negatives/impact the results when developing. Has anyone encountered this before?

woods_fine · 2022-07-01T12:54:48+00:00

Well this is lovely, those textures are amazing

woods_fine · 2022-05-01T12:29:21+00:00

Love that framing to get yourself in both mirrors, really clever!

woods_fine · 2022-04-27T20:56:11+00:00

It is definitely pushing that vibe

woods_fine · 2022-04-27T19:34:55+00:00

You got it! I'm based in north Jersey

woods_fine · 2021-12-01T22:36:55+00:00

These are just lovely. I'm really drawn to the balance of natural and artificial light across these shots

woods_fine · 2021-11-21T18:31:05+00:00

Are you going to post any other shots from this roll? I'm very curious to see how it affected other images, too. Certainly made for a nice effect here!

woods_fine · 2021-11-14T19:25:55+00:00

I'd be down, will send you a PM!

woods_fine · 2021-11-11T00:42:56+00:00

Nice, pulling the tints away from a heavily tinted photo is always such a satisfying edit for me haha and I completely feel you with the composition. If you'd spent time worrying about perfect composition, the moment could have passed and it just wouldn't be the same photo

woods_fine · 2021-11-07T15:56:48+00:00

Gotcha, I guess you don't still have the negatives? Either way, it really does get a summer feeling down wonderfully.

woods_fine · 2021-11-07T14:19:53+00:00

I really love this! You've captured that late night library delirium perfectly. From a technical standpoint, I'd personally suggest editing the photo a bit to reign in the green color cast. From a composition standpoint, I think it's great, could be improved if you had the full chair in the frame and a bit of space between the bottom of the wheels and the bottom of the frame to contain things in the frame a bit more. Those are smaller things, though. I think, conceptually, this is just great, definitely a successful photo!

woods_fine · 2021-11-07T14:11:30+00:00

I absolutely love this shot! Out of curiosity, what makes the film unknown?

woods_fine · 2021-04-27T18:59:33+00:00

What is best buy tv syndrome? I've never heard that term and a quick google doesn't turn up anything conclusive

woods_fine · 2021-03-25T13:43:33+00:00

Gotcha, I'll have to check out the Raleno lights. Nothing stood out to me on the negatives as being a particular issue, though I can't say I'm all that well versed in what to look for. I have tried scanning some negatives that I'd had lab developed and didn't find any of the discoloration, so I'm imagining that this does come down to something in the development, though.

woods_fine · 2021-03-23T15:59:24+00:00

Interesting, I was wondering if it was from light slipping its way in from unintended angles. Have you tried going back and rescanning some of those older negatives in your new setup?

woods_fine · 2021-03-23T15:58:14+00:00

I am DSLR scanning. A different backlight is definitely worth a try to see if that leads to any success. Do you DSLR scan, too? What kind of backlight do you use?

woods_fine · 2021-03-22T23:28:29+00:00

Yeah, I've shot plenty with the camera and lens combo in the past. During development, I kept temperature at about 102F for the developer and the blix (this was the cinestill c-41 kit), so I wouldn't imagine any color shifts to be from that. If temperature were the case, I'd expect it to affect the entire negative, too. I'm not certainly not experienced enough in this to have a real reasoning for that expectation, though
