Images of mistakes - good or bad..

Photographer killed shortly after photo was taken by photobombing jedi:

Impressive, I hope someone took good notes so the crime scene can be recreated.

I had some weird issues with a few sheets from a recent photoshoot. I salvaged (in my opinion anyway) one of the shots by attacking the negative with sandpaper.

This is really neat, the effect is great.

My Gossen meter said "4s." Somehow, even though I've been using that meter for years, I mis-read it as 1/4 and, even worse, thought "1/4 second makes perfect sense for a burned out stump of an old redwood tree on a cloudy day at f/14!" With reciprocity failure, I probably should have done about 8-10 seconds. Anyway, the negative was nearly clear, but the Epson V800 got a surprising amount of information out of it.

I didn't bother spotting out all the dust and scratches. I suppose I could whip up some artistic BS statement and get lots of $ for it. I'm just impressed with what the scanner pulled out of this negative.

6 negatives in the same tray and left alone will do this... (I love it...)

You seem to have a thing for 'mistakes' that end up looking great! :-D

Light leak last weekend. A previous owner epoxied a graflok back on my Super D, which I reworked after these leaks. Regular holders were OK, but the spring tension with a grafmatic under the screen pulled the old epoxy loose across the top. In this case may help the period look as did the scratches on the X-ray film.

This was to be my entry for Worldwide Pinhole Day 2017, until I noticed the right tripod leg in the shot. 5x12 curved film plane camera using Kodak green sensitive dental panorama x-ray film.

Nicely conceived and executed Barry, sorry it didn't work out as you hoped.

Thank you, Nicholas; we live and learn.
