Here's a crop from the other shot I put up on the random photos thread...

Ha, that's cool.
I've been shooting some very old mystery film of late. I bought a bulk loader from John Gunn a few months back; €15 and it came with half a bulk roll in it!

Judging from the packaging the loader is probably about 40 years old. The film has no markings at all but its probably at least that age if not more.

Anyway, on the last shot of my last roll I noticed some interesting markings on the film caused by a static discharge. I think it happens if you load a roll a bit too fast.

You can see it a little better in flickr if you zoom in on the top right.

Neat. Is it static discharge, or fungus? When I used to load 120 rolls on reels for development in the dark I noticed that when you peel off the tape at the end of the roll that attaches it to the backing paper there was always a big burst of luminescence. Never seemed to fog the film though.

Pretty sure its static, it was only on this very last frame. The film was incredibly curly so its not in sharp focus.

Yup, I've noticed that in the dark room using painters tape to get paper to lie flat on my easel. Always a bit uneasy when it happens.

Quite pleased with how well this turned out - only now getting the chance to properly look at some of these photos as I was working from contact sheets when I first developed them. Never expected this much clarity given I was probably on the corner of the penalty box on the other side of the pitch. The Royal Box was set quite a way back in the stand (with the famous 39 steps leading up to it)

found an undeveloped (but exposed) roll at the back of a drawer a week or two ago, could not remember for the life of me when it was taken. turns out it was from a holiday about 4 years ago where we stayed in weymouth for a couple of days before moving on.

Nice thread, is there an interest in discussing the crossover from say 4.3 mirror less still cameras to the trend toward using these cameras, now capable of 4k video, in video/ film making. Thanks, well done.

i think you have the wrong thread for that...

Just thought they might relate, sorry, gone.
