blogs killed the e-mail star
It’s this time of the year when the sun sets before 5 p.m. Every afternoon walk becomes a race, as we try to get back to the car before it turns dark. The shorter days make it more difficult to take pictures, but at least there are the autumn colours to be thankful for.
Last month, P and I hiked a lot across the many MOD managed areas surrounding our town. Here are some snapshots from our walks.
These are the “you lose some” from a roll of Fomapan 200 exposed with a Nikon FM2.
What happened here is that I opened the camera back with the window of the Shirley Wellard film cassette still open. The winding lever was sticking every few frames, and so I rewound the film and opened the back of the camera to check what was wrong without first closing the window. A moment passed as I stared at the exposed film through the gap, wondering why I was seeing film when I wasn’t supposed to. It was unfortunate for these two frames, which were at the beginning of the roll and, therefore, most affected.
I don’t know what was wrong with the winding, and I have yet to test the Nikon FM2 with a normal factory cassette. Still, the rest of the roll was okay and these three pictures were the “you win some”.
