andrew_viny Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 <p>Hey guys. Just processed out a roll of TMax. (My first roll that I loaded into the canister and then processed out). In one negative I found an odd blur. It was only in this negative so far as I can tell but I'm interest to know what you guys think it is. Anyway here's the pic. Please forgive my poor all in one consumer printer scanner.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_shriver Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 <p>Screw-mount Leica? If so, you might have touched the spinning shutter speed dial during the exposure.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_scheitrowsky1 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 <p>Wouldn't touching the rotating shutter dial slow down the curtain, giving more exposure to the neg, causing greater density in the neg, resulting in a lighter area/streak in the positive image which is what we are looking at.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhooru Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 <p>Looks like your strap or finger...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughes Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 <p>looks like fogging to me probably when the film was on the developing reel<br> Steve</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddler_b Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 <p>It looks like fog to me too. Can you post the negative(unreversed) version?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_scheitrowsky1 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 <p>Again, just like a slowed shutter curtain, light fogging would add additional exposure and hence density to the negative, resulting in a lightened area on the positive.</p> <address>A dark area on the positive image (that is posted) means less exposure (or development) in that region. I'm going with the camera strap hanging in front of the lens idea.</address> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_lofquist Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 <p>It looks as though the effect may be down to the sprocket holes, if so this would suggest a processing problem</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughes Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 <p>Alex<br> I think you are right, may be not fogging but some sort of development issue, a scan of the neg would really help much easier to read than the contact.<br> Steve</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philip_maus Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 <p>Andrew - I have to second the strap in front of the lens, or some similar malady. I would expect that a development issue would have shown up in more than one neg.</p> <p>I really wanted to comment on the photo though...Honestly, I think that is an excellent shot and is reminescent of some of the fine art work from the likes of Garry Winogrand et.al. Nice shot!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_mareno Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 <p>Your scanner seems to have turned T-Max into Tri-X. Good.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
