kevin_hundsnurscher Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Probably out of date. The red channel is usually the first to go when film expires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erickpro Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Most likely out of date but to make sure, just shoot a fresh roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_sapper Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I think it is a comination of out-of-date (overall slow & foggy), plus light leaks (edge-oriented fog). Since you say "some of the negs came out like the one attached," does that mean that some were differently affected or not affected? Is there even more fog near the perforations and the actual edge of the negatives, especially on the leading end where the film was loaded for so long? I agree with prior response: shoot a fresh roll to check for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randrew1 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 The film is definitely old. The edge oriented "fog" could be contamination from household pollutants. These would diffuse in from the edge of the roll. This is less of a problem with most modern films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_clayton Posted August 6, 2005 Author Share Posted August 6, 2005 this is another picture from the same film. the green edges are not as bad on this negative. I will shoot a fresh roll to make sureif its light leaks or not. Paul ps the film is Kodak Gold ISO200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
