What is this?

[Ariston]

See below - is that just lens flare on the right side? I've never seen it look like that before... plus, it was taken indoors.

I've seen a film wich described such light effects with negative film :

The dog is in serious danger!

with regards

PS : Priest "Buddenhagen" was the first victim in the movie (very simular light effect from your negative)

Looks like a stress mark arising from "kinking" the film while loading it into a developing reel.
Something that a few of us have seen a time or two before

 

[trendland]

Listen Ariston : You should try to find out if other latest photographs of family members will
show same light refrections!
If it is that case you will have serious problems "Photrio" can't help!


with regards!

Too big for that Matt = 35mm film!

Looks like a stress mark from kinking...

My first thought too.

Agreed - this is a crease mark in the film.

 

[Ariston]

It may be a stress mark. I'll look at the negative closer. I sometimes have difficulty with 36 exposure rolls because the film settles on the second ring somehow, which makes me run out of space. So I have to either remove the film and start over, or try to hand roll (without aid of the ratchets) the last ring.

I have a loader I have yet to use. It may be time to break it out and start loading smaller rolls. I much prefer 24 frames, but always buy the 36 exposure rolls to save money.

I'm sure my wife will say the only way to reproduce it is with a selfie!

......hm no exorcism? Lucky you!

PS : Can't remember ever with 35mm film - possible with 120 film - but I have no real remind on!
PPS : Movie has indeed the issue about "light marks on negatives".....fear!

I agree, the film was kinked.

Another vote for kinked film.

I’m not ruling out the possible need for an exorcism, though.

Unsure if you know this, but to get past that notch in the reel, snip the corners of the film off at an angle before inserting into the reel.

Thanks, I actually do that. I may be snipping too much. I get past the notches fine, but the film ends up one space down for some reason, sometimes. This particular roll was really curly, which didn't help.

 

[AgX]

But as usual Trendland got the more interesting explanation...

There used to be inexpensive "Yankee" reels which had tracks: you feed in the film and then ratchet the sides of the spools alternately and this feeds the film into a proper spiral, guided by the tracks.

Maybe it's like training wheels on a bike, but that's what I use. Never a problem. I've never used those metal spiral reels - they're the work of the Devil most certainly.

Really curled film and Jobo reels is very difficult. Also with any plastic reel there's a fine line on snipping. It's worse with 120. Jobo especially just take about a 1/8 inch or 2-3 mm maximum nip off the corner of the film. Too much of a trim and the end of the film curls in making it impossible. I love everything about Jobo, but their reels can be a bit tricky.
Paterson are better but if you have old outdated film the curl will drive you nuts.

Well - some tention is indeed concerning " light effects " onto photographs! In "The OMEN 5" for example it is shown in both media : with digital AND with film......

And indeed in the past we got one or two weird, never seen before artefacts, that no one of us could explain to any satisfaction.

With his internet past on the mysterious, Sean might be inclined one day to install the Apug forum for the supernatural artefact...

Is it my imagination or is the dog looking at it?
My guess would be a kink but they say animals sense things we humans can't.

Ha! I didn't even notice! It does look like the dog is looking right at it.

I won't know what to think if that dog ends up dying before the week is out...

That is what I use - one of the Patterson ratchet reels. I don't know if my big clumsy fingers just accidentally push the film down a rung or what.
