A crop from that hard-done-by negative; just the hands. Plus some light leaks and double-exposurey stuff.

I've been looking back through old negatives and the other day I came across scans the photo lab had done of this roll of film in early 2008. I figured I'd better rescan them myself since the lab was unable to line up where one image ended and another began. Not surprisingly, though. The developed film was uniformly black to look at. It had already been in a camera I bought and I decided to carry on using the roll. It was a roll of Kodak 400 film in a Fujica STX-1N. The film jammed in that camera before the end of the roll. So I wound it back and put it in my Olympus Pen D3, one of a series of four or five D3s I have had. They are lovely cameras but all but one have failed on me. This one, like the Fujica, jammed, so I removed the film and took it in for developing. It turns out I had miscalculated how many pictures I had taken with the Fujica, and shot my half-frame pictures over some of them. Additionally, the film was badly light-leaked throughout, from some previous adventure before I owned the Fujica, so there was really triple exposures. Here, on the left, is the colour scan I made. I can see in full-frame someone who was visiting me in my office. I *think* I know who it is, but I am not sure. The half-frame one, superimposed, is of my cat Minnie on a shelf. The lighting was quite different in the two exposures, so I converted to b&w first with a blue filter (middle) and then (on the right) with a yellow filter, each giving a little more clarity to one of the exposures. My favourite part of the picture is the visitor's hands though. I may try printing just that part of the frame.
