no no it was just personal logic being naive to film im just cautious of EVERYTHING which is better than being careless about everything; nothing influenced my belief. Hence, I even searched it up before submitting to the forums and found nothing!

Something like [sarcasm] [/sarcasm][/QUOTE]

These days the introduction of "tone indictors" that a lot of us teens and others like to use b/c we text online and use social media 24/7. For ex. use /j = joke and /g = genuine at the end of their statement to show emotion in their sentences .

Why shake the canister to see if there's exposed film in there? How would you know if it's exposed or unshot or shot and developed? Just take the cover off and look.

I don't know man... sometimes there's zero logical in my doings sometimes

Good one, I'm going to use that

Those are actually older than what we consider the internet/www. Check out old newsgroup archives and such. Seems people had this figured out before the rest of the world got online and had to invent it again.

If I had a special "sarcasm alert" flag, I would attach it to a bunch of posts in this thread!
I like these questions from those who are new to film. They remind us about how much knowledge we tend to assume to be generally understood.

...and how much actually was generally understood.

Pretty sure I stole it from the "jargon file", proving I've been on the internet since... well, since it was arpanet, and usenet was a thing. I think, embarrassingly, I've got some posts still on usenet from before Al Gore "invented" the internet. Or those pesky AOL people were let onto "our" network.

I even compiled my own copies of "rn" and later, "trn", as the admins at my university didn't think that was legitimate software for academia.

I'm not too sure now thinking about it... Maybe I was assuming that the images would be messed up SOMEHOW.

Basically there is something to it.
The image information stored on film before it being processed indeed is sensitive to its environment.

First of course light, but also Xrays. Then heat over a long period, but also vapour of some chemicals.
But at common use I would not bother with the above, except for the Xrays which may be a real hazard at some airports with new baggage scanners.

What is even more confusing is that both on film and digitally the pictures are upside down so when the cameras get dropped all the photons get really confused.

So over time there was a byte slime building up around the perimeter of he disks, eventually leading to disk getting stuck. Now I know what happened to few of mine. Thanks.

Yeah-- here's an example.

Actually, this was an IBM model called "Deskstar" (known since as "deathstar") that had a problem where the drive could quite literally knock the magnetic media off the platters.

Don't be too scared by all the old computer jokes here - it is just some people re-visiting their youth!

Youth? I'm still a linux admin. awk/sed are still useful commands.
