Here are some shots that I recently got back from the lab. If anyone can please explain why I can see a print of the paper back on my pictures please let me know. I don’t actually see how its possible!

    I had a similar thing happen recently when one of the pieces of sponge in my Holga got wound up in the roll and caused the film to protrude from the spool. The resulting exposure caused some interesting effects! See: http://flickr.com/photos/eightyone/2697134280/

    First time I see this…

    @Barry, yeah it looks slightly similar, maybe the spool wasn’t covering the top of the film when i took it out and strong light got on it. It looks pretty cool, i just wonder how it happens…

    i’ve had the same effect on one of the rolls i shot. some of them were really bad. yeah, could be the foam stuck in the film. i thought they were due to the film being expired, heat leaks or improper handling.

    most likely improper handling :) cheers for the comment!

    thanks for the comment, i believe it was Ilford delta 400. Either that or delta 125. Definitely delta though lol.
