Cant remember anthing about exposure details....was crook as a dog. But its a head scratcher for me.

Dark as a cave inside but with sunlight patches.

I figure underexposure but with some lens flare from the bright spot inside?

Havent touched the frame, jsut scanned the neg. 100isoFujicolour.

Absolutely not a camera / lens problem. Something I have done or havent done.

It´s cool, man!

[Kent10D]

Yeah! Do that again!

[rob_x2004]

Yea but if I can get to the bottom of it. Imagine if it was an important shot.

You hear people saying the 35/1:1,4 is flare prone. Guess I have to accept that is the case.

[Guest darkstar2004]

My guesses would be -

 

1: Light leak during processing, or

2: Chemical spill during processing, or

3: Operator error during processing, or

4: Defective chemistry (exhausted or weak developer), or

5: Defective film (but let's be realistic - when's the last time anyone ever hrard of defective Fuji??)

 

Even C41 processing machines can malfunction, although it is rare...

Definitely not processing. Frames both sides are good in all respects. Film itself is unblemished.

I am putting it down to my error.

Beasted teh curves to display the problem areas.

There are two sources of harsh light within, 1&2, where the structure is not roofed. Typical chinese joint has courtyards inside. Sunlight on the outside of the building 3.

At the time I tried to organise harsh light, and expose to get some detail for the black paint and shadows.

I figure my exposure was probably good but it has all jsut flashed out. Figure I have to recognise conditions when the 35/1:1,4 will flare.

Dont know if anyone has any suggestions? It is the sort of shot I am likely to try again.

35 Lux asph or earlier?

Filter attached?

Greasy front element, how often do you clean it? ( stupid question perhaps )

[dorman]

Condensation on the lens?

If the camera was cold and the humidity high it's a possibility

[Adrian Strooper]

Hi Rob,

 

I agree with dorman, it looks like condensation on the lens. You'd never know if you're not looking through the lens...unless you checked of course....

If it's not a processing problem, condensation is what I'd suspect, especially if there was a lapse of several minutes or longer between shots. This would explain why the frames before & after this one are not fogged.

[rob_x2004]

Lux ASPH without filter. I learned about filters with R in Laos:D

Neg hot spots or whatever one would call them are on the sun bright bits of the frame, which is why I was going for flare.

[frc]

Condenation is very well posible.

Rob,

Your sensor is toast.
