homemade cookie tin pinhole camera, FP100-C instant film, 3 1/2 minute exposure Can you make a guess at what is going on here? Keep in mind that this is a single one-time exposure.... There I was...hands in the film changing bag, and pulling out my latest pinhole exposure from the Fuji pack film cartridge, when the unexposed film pack behind my latest exposure pulled out of the cartridge at the same time! Bother- two films came out at once- and I hadn't used the second film yet! I couldn't put the unexposed film pack back into the cartridge, so I felt around for the the negative , and managed to get it facing towards the pinhole, and inserted the pack into my homemade film cartridge holder. The positive paper and all the paper tabs were somehow folded behind the negative, and my fingers told me that the whole pack just slumped in the cardboard holder. So be it! I made the exposure anyway, and was puzzled (as well as pleased) by the outcome...1/2 of the exposure was upside down! Also, the subject in direct line with the pinhole (a stuffed animal propped up on a book) is very hard to see in the picture. The upside down portion of the image was about 90 degrees to the right of where the camera was facing. So there was some anamorphic/indirect imaging going on here, but why the upside down portion? One possibility I can think of: The negative was slumped and folded back onto itself in the holder, so part of the back of the negative faced the pinhole , imaging 1/2 the negative from the back side, and 1/2 from the front side. When the negative was contact printed to the positive, the now-flat negative produced it's opposite imaging sides onto the positive paper. Any other suggestions as to what might be happening here? (-: If the negative can be imaged from both sides, this makes me wonder about purposely bending and folding a negative, and then making the image blender-style. Of course, I really would like to believe this, but another possibility: I may have mistakenly loaded my original shot back into the camera, and it truly is a double exposure. However, I am pretty sure I isolated the two films well, and knew which was which. Have any of you been able to image a FP100-c negative from the back side? I'll have to try it in isolation and see if it works...

Hello, hej, bonjour, namaste, good afternoon, morning and evening. Hihihi. I'm Libby, you probably know this, half of my alias gives it away. Anyway, I have a favour to ask... You know the old film that you have lying around at home, unused and unloved - probably sitting under your bed collecting dust, possibly in a cupboard somewhere feeling lonely, maybe even placed next to an old film camera you'd forgotten you owned since the age of digital photography..? Well, I want it. Last year, I was given a collection of old film cameras from my Nana. They used to be my Grandad's, and since he passed away, she doesn't want them anymore. The thing is, I have no idea if half of them work anymore or what they're like to use! So, I need me some film! Now, I know I could go out and buy some film, however, I'm a poor student who has just finished her degree and has yet to find a job (also, I'm highly expecting that the chemicals required to process the film will cost a bomb!), and also, it's always wonderful how the flickr community manages to pull together, AND it gives me an excuse to snail-mail some of you wonderful folks (because, of course, I'll need to write you letters of thanks, and free prints!). Any kind of 35mm film will be gratefully received, please send me a flickrmail if you think you can help me out! Thank you, thank you, thank you! So, what say you..?
