It's drool. Greasy drool. The film technician was sneaking a snack on the job, complaining vehemently to a co-worker about the low pay and terrible work conditions and why the heck did they make so-and-so the new assistant manager, and got himself so worked up that some greasy burrito drool dribbled down his chin and onto your film. He saw the greasy drool gob quivering on the film strip, so he shook it and waved it around trying to sling drool off, but it only spread further, so he mashed the whole mess into the developer before anyone could see what he'd done. Than explains the triangular shape - the drool hit the film and spread out by centrifugal force and action of surface tension of the liquid. Any more mysteries to be solved, just give me a call. -- Cactus Jack Warm and Dry in the Valley of the Sun www.photolin.com www.photolin.com/payanon/payanon.htm No More Pay, Pal © 2004 John Mustarde Don't Ebay, pal, No more Pay, pal, Hey Hey-ah, Good Bye.

Provia Processing Problem?
Recently shot a roll of Provia and, yesterday, when examining the frames, I found this problem: http://home.earthlink.net/~scbelinkoff/provia.jpg Any ideas on what it could be, what may have caused it?

Re: Provia Processing Problem?
I had a similar shape mark, once. It was due to the film being loaded in the d&d tank the wrong way round, so that the emulsion side was resting on the holder and kept away from the soup. It was slide film but the mark was orange.

Re: Provia Processing Problem?
It certainly _looks_ like something physical happened but Shel says no damage. Not watermark shaped, wrong colour for light leak or processing botch. Maybe you got a defective film?

Re: Provia Processing Problem?
Someone suggested a light leak, however I tend to doubt that as it probably would have shown up in more than just that one spot on the roll. mike wilson wrote: > > I had a similar shape mark, once.

Re: Provia Processing Problem?
Well, I'm gonna take a closer look at the area ... take it out of the sleeve and see if there is any physical damage. But it doesn't look like there is mike wilson wrote: > > It certainly _looks_ like something physical happened but Shel says no > damage.

Shel, it pretty much has to be either a problem in the reversal bath or under development at the second developer stage It looks like something may have been in contact with the film for part of one of those processing steps.

Re: Provia Processing Problem?
Paul, You appear so sure ... I like your confidence ;-)) although I don't like the possibility 8-( Why do you think it's a light leak? Why would it be only in that one spot on the entire roll?

When the camera was wound, something might have moved and admitted light. if it was an artifact from tongs or another mechanical device, the result probably would have been the opposite: a darker or less exposed/less developed artifact. Winding the film stresses the camera body and might intermittently admit light. Your streak bridges a couple of frames. What's more, it seems to open and diminish. Both are typical of a light leak that is evident when winding film. Why would it be only in that one spot on the entire roll? It could very well be that more stress was applied during that wind sequence. Or the part of the camera that leaks was directed toward the sun. Yes, it;s al conjecture, but that image dictated the conjecture.Paul Paul Stenquist wrote: Hi Shel, It's a light leak.
