I botched loading some film and decided it would be too much of a scratch potential to use, but instead of throwing it away, just tossed it on my table, a couple sheets of it.
Next day, the part of the film that was exposed to my room lights is about half as lightly toned as the part that was covered by the other sheet.
I am currently running an experiment where I have a still life set up with a very bright bulb and my camera just aimed at it with a piece of film exposed and am going to leave it until tomorrow and see if I get a legit detailed image.
But in the meantime, I'm sure many of you are already aware of what's going on. So I thought I'd ask... what's going on? Is this a secondary chemical process of some sort? Chemicals breaking down into something else? Or what?
