Double exposure and uneven development... Triple mistake.

I don't usually post mistakes, except when I like them! This is what happens when you're in cramped quarters taking the photos and the film holder pulls away slightly from the camera when replacing the darkslide...it's one of the few things I DON'T like about the Chamonix...it's easy to pull away a little when removing or replacing the dark slide.

I think it would have been a nice one. I had used extreme vertical swing on this...

Here's my mistake made today. I was experimenting with a safer version of collodion. One with no cadmium bromide, but with ammonium bromide instead. This formula needed more water in it to dissolve the NHBr... It caused me some ridges, and what looks like reticulation for want of a better word. At any rate, I like the effect.

Vignetting lower right from compendium shade. I was too caught up with contorting the beast to align the plane of focus. The dark patch was partially hidden by the cut out corner of the ground glass but I should have picked it up. Still, although it is clearly the result of negligence / incompetence, I am ambivalent towards it -- sometimes liking it, sometimes not.


Kind regards,

Richard

Here's a drooping dandelion. I'm not sure if it wilted during the four minute (!) exposure, or whether it actually sucked up enough water to weight it's head down, but anyway, you can see that it moved. These super close-ups (my Deardorff was racked out about six feet long) are fraught with perils!

When you change lenses (135mm to 120mm), refocus and recompose, you're supposed to use a fresh sheet of film.

Run a squeegee across the negative, and then notice you used the wrong side and put huge gauges in the negative.
