Can anyone explain what the curved lines below are? They
definitely appear to be in the image and not a surface imperfection on
the negative. What you see is a small section taken from a
4 x5 negative which was shot with a 90 mm lens at f/16,
1/60. Note the blurring of parts of the curves.
My first thought was that perhaps there were cables attached to the
structure blowing in the wind, but there wasn't that much wind
that day, and in any case I took another picture of the same scene
several minutes later which doesn't show even a hint of these
curves. Another possibility is fuzz of some sort in the
film holder. The section is close to the edge of the frame
on the far side of the slide away from the slide handle.
