Synchronous Flares

Happens every few rolls. It’s an old camera, and possibly it’s the dark slide disturbing the backing paper, or the spool isn’t being wound tight enough to keep the light out. Whatever the cause, some of them are quite entertaining, maybe even worth making a collection.

    “The Dark Slide” – sounds ominous really!

    They seem to roughly follow the perspective in the photos.

    A dark slide to the dark side. ;)

    The interesting this is, nobody seems to know what causes it. It’s not the last frame in the roll, which might explain some fogging, and some rolls have it whilst others don’t. Frustrating, but also fun!

    You should send these in to the Fortean Times.

    A series of two so far – yes the Fortean Times! :)

    Are you two in a position to be linked back to yet?

    Who cares what caused it. Isn`t light a wonderful thing, especially when it is out of CONTROL.

    I know, I love them. But now it means I have 5 backs I can’t rely on. Wish I knew which one does this, tho. :)
