More Damaged Film Stories
February 18, 2019Another installment of Bad Film. The whole planned two weeks in Kansas was a disaster. Waking up in the middle of nite with severe pain, visit to the ER without a definitive answer. This was all followed by getting the flu - this after having had the prescribed flu shot.
The film sat in the camera in the car during some very cold temps. That usually is not enough to cause problems. After a difficult 5 hour drive home with the flu I was shocked to find that the back of the camera had popped open just the slightest.
After getting the film developed it was a combination of ruined frames with under-exposed frames. This last finding was a surprise. Anyway was was able to scan about 9 frames and salvage something. The color shifts, etc can be mitigated by taking the image into Black and White which is what I did for some of the frames.
