Damaged negatives
These two pictures of my friends Jillian and Harry, who both happened
to be in the corridor outside my office one day in early 2012, were
shot in the Rollei XF35. The XF35 did its job well enough, but --
when I developed the film a few weeks ago -- I spooled the film
poorly and, as a result and additionally, did several bad things to
the film in developing and fixing. Anyway, it was left with a heavy
coating of silver (poor fixing, I suppose, that) which became very
powdery when dry and thus susceptible to scatches. The original scan
is very dark though there is a lot of surface reflectance on the
powdery silver surface. I adjusted the local contrast a little and
got this, which I am delighted with. The film was Legacy Pro-100.

The left picture was shot horizontal while the right-hand one was
vertical. Thus I turned the latter and joined the two pictures in
PSP-X5 (which is also where I built the frame somewhat and adjusted
local contrast).
