Damaged negatives

13 Aug 2014 79
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).
