Unexpected Surprises

One of my favourite things about film photography - after all this time - is that anything can go wrong at any stage and you will have no idea why - and the result will be something like this! I have no idea what happened - but I like it.

p.s. I also love all my previous ‘unexpected suprise’ posts - definitely check out the tag below!

Pulled through a hedge backwards maybe?!

Way back in 2019 I shared the first photos from this roll of Dubblefilm Pacific that Analogue Wonderland generously sent me - and the unexpected results that it had. These photos are not meant to look like this - they are meant to look ‘crisp and subtle, with imbued subtle blue or green overtones’. They are not meant to look like the roll has been pulled through a hedge backwards and possibly even stomped on (please note - I did neither of these things - and also that I wouldn’t get these results if I had actually tried that ha).

Oh the joy of film and its persistent occurances of WTF and FFS keeping us on our toes.

I’ll be honest - I don’t hate the results. Sure I’m still a bit gutted as it looks like the film should have gorgeous results but theres something old worldy about these with the speckles and marks. Maybe they were taken in 2019 - or maybe 1919 - who knows!

Film: Dubblefilm Pacific 35mm - generously given to me by Analogue Wonderland (Who had no idea I would be such a risk in producing such unexpected surprises haha, or indeed that I could milk a roll of film for two years across my blog! Please visit their awesome website and buy their stuff - support our film friends!)

Film burn VI & VII

I've mentioned before in previous film burn posts how I love the end of the roll where the light is exposed to the film. A lot of the time there isn't a result like this and usually they're ignored if they do happen but as I'm now scanning my films myself I get to see for myself every time it does happen and sometimes you hit on gems with colours like these! So pretty!

Light leak love

For some reason the last two rolls of film from my Canon EOS 750 have had some streaky light leaks and although I am slightly concerned that this is a problem with the camera (we'll see how the next two rolls turn out I guess eep) I'm also pretty delighted to see these unexpected surprises, its been a while! 

Also I love the last photo of the bench, it was such a lovely reclusive photo I thought and the light leak, which I couldn't repeat again if I tried... just make it even better. Oh film you delightful thing you...
