Images of mistakes - good or bad..

Yes, the camera used was a Fujifilm GX680II - about as close as you can get to large format with roll film, because it has tilt-shift and it makes big 6x8cm negatives. Not many people know of that camera, but I rate it as one of the best medium format cameras ever made. It cost more than double a Hasselblad when new. I use mine as a companion to my Wisner Expedition 8x10. Here is a photo taken with the Wisner in the same session, using Fomapan 200 film and an old junk lens. The model, Ayla, was a champion gymnast in her teens.

Gorgeous!! I feel like I've seen her, she's a traveling model right?

Gotta show you this...

Old negative found - I remember it.. Painted with light - I think I maybe didn't close the shutter after painting and then put the light scourse directly in the camera...

(negative also solarized..)

Anyway, I like it as is - maybe a nightmare? daydream?

New mistake! In six years I have never loaded two sheets of film in the same holder, but found that this morning when developing some shots from yesterday. I also had one holder yesterday that must have had the film outside the groove, so when I went to re-insert the dark slide the film ended up outside the slide! Was I drunk when I loaded those?

Anyway, both from the double are in the soup now, so I'll see what I get.

Well, as I suspected, the top sheet is fine, and the bottom very under-exposed, but with visible density in the highlights. That old holder must be pretty sloppy though...

[Sirius Glass]

The top sheet is probably fogged.

Love Gandolfi's painted with light pic! Like a Miro painting.

Help appreciated - what went wrong with this one?
(I exposed ten 8x10 sheets in this session, 9 are fine and this one is like this.)

I'll take a guess. It looks like the front standard was tilted up and swung to the left. So the tree she's leaning against is in focus above her shoulder and the tree in the background is in focus at its base. It's a very narrow band that's in focus. And with the lens aiming up, I think it caught some sunlight and some very nasty lens flare snuck in. If the other shots were done with the same configuration, the sun must have been hiding behind some leaves or branches for the other 9 shots, and only came out for this one.

That's interesting, I didn't think of lens flare. I was trying different tilt-shifts etc, so this might have been the only shot where the lens was facing that particular way. It certainly was a situation with the potential to induce lens flare, what with the backlit tree. I forget how much more prone to lens flare these big old lenses are. Thanks for your help!

Grove (dreamy)

Shot with Chamonix 5×8" and Meyer Trioplan 260mm f:4.5 lens (without shutter) on 5×7" sheet of Adox CHS 25, developed in Rodinal. The double image was not my intention, and I'm not entirely sure what was it's cause. Maybe some kind of reflection in the lens barrel? (but then should not the "ghost"/reflected image be reversed??)... In the end I decided that I quite like the image, I find the effect nice... What do you think?

It looks amazing - congrats.
