I'll leave you to it. What's this? All I know is, it hasn't been computer-edited. I got a film back after developing and one of the pictures came out like this. Any ideas? The negatives and prints aren't damaged in any way.

Hi Marsh, :) On one hand I think you're saying YOU have no idea what this is either. That it just happened. And we'll all never really know ... :( On the other hand ... I have NO clue! Whatever it is, it's pretty cool! :)

Okay I do have a clue what it is and well I don't think you'll ever guess it really. I got a hold of some very damaged negatives, they were unusable, they had patches of all kinds of colours on them and they couldn't be used for printing. But just the colours themselves, on the negatives, were really pretty. I got an idea...maybe I could use the damaged negatives as some sort of purple filter. I didn't really think it would work but it was worth a try. After a lot of fumbling about I managed to bluetac it around a standard lense and I was planning to take a bright daylight photo, hoping enough light would find its way through the "filter". But I discovered - woops - the sun had already set. So I pointed the camera at my nightlight (not exactly a brilliant lightsource but it was all I had) and took a photo...I knew it would be underexposed and I didn't really think it would be anything at all so imagine my surprise... So this not quite a photo of a negative, and not quite a photo taken through a negative. :-)

F a n t a s t i c . I really dig this. And I give you credits for trying that out. Camera is not just a lens, shutter and a film. Unlimited possibilities can be done like you did. The pic is really, really good, but whats the most important, is the idea, the process. I hope that you keep experimenting this. .n ps. did you do anything for original pic, just scanned or did you adjust levels/colors?

I scanned it and did Auto Levels in Photoshop, but it didn't really change anything. Oh and I removed a scratch from a black corner...I got a reprint of that film free because half of the prints had scratches on them when I got them back. Useless! :-)
