Images of mistakes - good or bad..

Another night at the bar, 6 rolls and the lens was set to M

This is what happens when you load film in the dark, make sure all the holders are sealed up tight, and then turn the light on before closing up the box of film.

A rookie mistake that ruined half a box of Efke 9x12 film. I shot a bunch of it anyway to see how bad it was, and it was bad enough.

Overexposed this shot too much, miscalculated the brightness of the rising sun while doing a long exposure. Sea spray was all over the camera as well.

Cut of a 1/4 on top and bottom, call it "Luminosity" and it's art.

This was shot SEVEN stops over rated speed. I thought I was shooting some aerial duplicating film for testing purposes, which is EI 1.5, but it turned out to be T-Max 400 (8x10). What a waste of some great film. Still I was shocked I could salvage this much of an image. Developed in HC-110 dil. E for 3.5 minutes.

I am pretty mad at this. The photography gods might be trying to tell me something...

Some Arista Edu 400 that has something funky going on for it.

Maybe someone opened the box to check the contents, who knows?

There are some pretty great looking mistakes in this thread.

Accidental Double Exposure (Construction Site with Inflatable Pool)


I do like the way the worker (at right) is climbing out of the pool with his ladder. :-)

Paper negative, shot in the rain (30 secs with Scientific Lens Co. #4 RR on Deardorff). I used the dark slide to shield the lens from raindrops. Some of those drops then stuck between the darkslide and the paper, I broke one of my film holders trying to get the paper out to develop it. The result is better than my original composition.
