That looks pretty cool, but what's causing all the scratches on the film??
Can't help but notice the long scratches along the film ??? ....... Skippy

Pretty curious way to present pictures...
It's nice, different but there is the danger to fall in repetition ...

Very cool

Good job

Awais Yaqub · July 21, 2006

Skip they are part of the 'film neg look' process. Added in as an effect.

False.

They were shot like this.

(It's part of the magic)

I'll post photos later.

My mishandling of the film damaged it. I had to load the film in a black bag (including handling a knife to cut the 35mm away from the canister so I could load it onto the 127 spool.)

Medium format cameras =

\\\ CLICK!

I love how Andrew Davidhazy adapts cameras in different ways. If you use a Lubitel, you don't even have to respool the film (although he does).

I knew I wasn't the first...

... Interesting. I should send him my story. It'll amuse him to find that someone else figgured it out on their own.

You don't need a knife. There is a thin piece of tape holding the film to the reel. The canister can be opened by prying it with your thumb then peeling it back.

A) Work the film slot on the canister larger with fingers and thumb,

Once the slot can accomodate the tip of your thumb, wedge it in and peel back the metal.
C) Unwind/rewind the film, feel for the end which is affixed to the reel and simply tear the film from the reel ... the tape will tear easily.

PS- when you're done leave the destroyed film canister in the open for all to see ... everybody will think you are Mr. Buff.
