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.

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.

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.
