Acadia National Park - Bar Harbor Sunrise

It was a foggy morning, but we had just arrieved after driving all night and some of the fog was incredible, but I wanted to cut through some of it and not all of it, I tried both a circular polarizer and a yellow filter with the hope of one having the effect I wanted, the yellow seemed to do the job better but both looks are really nice in different ways I think.

Went along with a friend to Acadia National Park with my new 4x5, and these are a few of the results thus far...

Is this print for sale?
  1. Yes
if it isn't something inside the camera,
the film holders don't leak
and there isn't a problem with a the mod54
it leaves the tank and bag
unfortunately they leak light, not dark
BUT ... maybe those areas are the only areas that were COVERED ( hahaha )
and the rest of the sheet of film is the victim of
" ambient light splash"
was it "fresh, unopened, purchased first by you film" or purchased in the "used/expired film flea market"

Stone when you opened the tank at the end of the process are you 100% sure each sheet was seated in its own "fingers" in the MOD54 (ie they were all properly separated)?Other than a square compendium shade problem (which it can't be because I recall you saying you didn't have one), I can't see what else could have caused this besides processing. Although I must admit I wouldn't expect exactly this result from the processing issue I outlined. I would expect more "irregularity".

Exactly. That's why I was thinking that maybe the edges of the film were in contact with the back of another sheet. Those are pretty straight lines separating the different areas. Be sure to let us know what happens with the lab developed film, Stone. I'm very curious about this now. And again, just want to stress how much I like the image in the first place.

It doesn't make sense, if the sheets had slid out enough to touch each other, guaranteed, the sheets would have STAYED stuck together, you know how film is, it's almost magnetic. But they were all perfectly in place when opened, I don't think it's development... we'll find out when I can gather the $100 to process the E-6 sheets... and find a place that develops them, I thought Dwaynes did, but they don't, so not sure where to go...

So after a lot of careful consideration, I've come to the conclusion that.... 1 it was certainly NOT the development process, 2 it MAY have partially been the holder, but for this image in particular, it most certainly was the fact I was aiming the thing directly at the sun, and the edge of the fog on the right lines up with the sun and the rays coming off of it. Yup, that's what happens when you shoot at the sun... lol

right... It must be the hand of god which made all of my and others' shots into the sun turn out just fine. It's a development thing, Stone. But you obviously have all the answers. Sure you shouldn't go with dark leak again? =P

Now now don't be mean. None of the other sheets I've developed any other time had this issue and not all of the sheets in there had this issue. You can see the the sun rays off the sun...

Updated this image with a newer crop that avoids most of the strange exposure issues listed in this conversation, if you really want to see them, contact me, but now that this is a print, I'd rather display the final print version, slight fogging in the right corner I'll accept... :wink:
