Light Leak (non-digi)

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Jerry S can't actually see your image for some reason, it may be blocked by the proxy but it depends where the light leak is as to which part of the back door you need to refer. Don't forget about the orientaion of your film in the camera and that when you view the print it will be relative to the film(upside down etc) being exposed in your camera. The other point is I had this issue once and found out that the film i was using had a thin aluminium stick on tag that was just enough to raise the back door so light crept in occasionally. Good luck cause I know it can be frustrating. :x
cheers

i dropped the back once hence the light leak. it only leaks when the light hits it at a certain angle so it only leaked on one pic. oh well. bronny backs are cheap as compared to hassy ones so i'll just buy another.

thanks pirostitch

Why not salvage the pic and go with a scifi theme - you could claim he was caught in some sort of tractor beam/stasis field :lol:
