brian_donaldson3 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 <p>Fellow film users. Please look at the image I have posted and help me figure out why I have the greenish hue on the long edge. Here are the details.<br /> <br />Canon 1N<br /> Velvia 100 (exposure detail I don't remember, but looks correct)<br /> Processed by Fuji (through Walmart - note, it was shipped to Fuji, Walmart did not do the processing)<br /> Slide transfered to digital by Walmart using Fuji machines and scanners (lousy 2.2 MP resolution)</p> <p>So this is what I think but need your collective expert opinion. Could this be light leak from the camera? Could it be light leak during processing? Could it be old film (was about a year old in the camera - most probable)? How about light leakage during the transfer to digital process? (doubtful)</p> <p>My only recourse at this time is to try and Photoshop the hue out. Any thoughts? Thanks</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterbcarter Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 <p>It looks like it is from the camera. Shoot a roll with electrical tape over the top and bottom of the door. If that cures it, it's time for a flocking change.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy_d Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 <p>Np disrespect but i always loved "happy accidents" such as these. I like it's artistic look,feel and style.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian_donaldson3 Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 <p>Do you think it is a gradual light leak? Meaning, over time? If so, then a shoot in one sitting should be ok.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_fairclough1 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 <p>It looks like a light leak from the camera back, to me. Peter's tape idea is a good one.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_shearman1 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 <p>"Do you think it is a gradual light leak? Meaning, over time?"<br />Light travels at 186,000 miles per second. There's either a light leak or there isn't.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian_donaldson3 Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 <p>So, Craig, what would you recommend? Speed bumps?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francisco_disilvestro Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 <p>This could be also a processing problem during development. Contaminated solutions and processing equipment not well maintained will lead to similar problems.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangoldman Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 <p>Fuji handles their processing at Dwayne's , i believe. they are usually pretty on top of their processing - although i havent sent them anything since Kodachrome ended. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_eaton1 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 <p>Was the film stored for a length of time (either in or out of the camera) near any chemicals or other possible sources of fumes or vapours ?<br> I have a box of processed Agfachrome slides (processed by the then "official" Agfa lab) which were left in a desk drawer for a couple of years near a (closed) bottle of Typex correcting fluid. In that time the fluid had evaporated and the slides turned a pretty green color. The maximum deterioration was in the end slides in the box and towards the edges of the slides.....</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
