Diana 120mm film roll developing blank?
I've used two rolls of 120mm Lomography film (ISO 800) on my Diana F+. On the first roll only 6/16 photos developed which came out pretty good with a good exposure and were good quality, however the rest of the roll was completely blank (not white or black, just nothing). I thought maybe i was letting too much light in so I used a smaller aperture on the second roll, but only 4/16 photos developed on that roll and the ones that did develop were very dark, so I don't think it's the aperture. I've heard it could be due to light leaks through the camera, but I have a Lomography case over the camera, so wouldn't that prevent light seeping through? Here are a few questions I have: 1) The second roll was in the camera for about 4-5 months before it was developed. Would this have anything to do with the quality of the film and maybe affect the developing process? 2) Could it just be the brand of film? Should i try another brand? 3) When I put the rolls in the camera, I didn't do it in a completely dark room. There was still light in the room but i tried to do it in the darkest area possible. Could this be the reason why some photos were blank? If anyone has any experiences or knowledge in this field and has suggestions or advice please let me know! I've seen people take amazing photos with this camera and it's something I would love to achieve! Thank you for any help. :)
Developing film for a diana camera.?
i've been doing some research about different vintage style cameras, and ive decided i want the diana camera. it takes medium fromat 120 medium film....? i was wondering if i had to take this to a special place to get it developed. or is the local wallgreens fit fo the job?
How can I tell if a roll of film has been developed?
So I took a roll of film to get it developed and the person at CVS told me it was blank and gave me the film canister back. But I had just used it in my 35mm camera so I know it wasn't a new one. Anyway I kept the damn thing instead of tossing it and used a new roll of film, took more pictures and took the roll of film out of the camera. I can only find one of the used rolls so I assume I threw it out but how can I tell if the one that I have is the one that I took to the CVS and got back after they told me it was blank.? (I have no idea why it was blank, I guess I didn't feed it into the camera correctly.. But she did say BLANK not exposed.)
Why would my film have developed blank?
There are loads of reasons why this could have happened, and it's not always to track it down. When you shoot in negative film, it means that areas that are light in your scene, turn out dark in your camera. As such, if you get a film back from the developer that is completely blank (i.e. fully translucent), it means, in theory, that the film has never seen any light at all. There are several ways this could have happened; There could be a defect with your camera, which means that the shutters never (fully) open, or the mirror fails to move out of the way during an exposure. Your camera could be stuck in an ISO mode that is far too high: If it was set to ISO 1600, but you are shooting with ISO 100 film, every picture you take would be under-exposed by 4 stops. This is unlikely in your case, because the film is /completely/ blankYour camera could have a problem with the aperture, so it always takes photos at an aperture that is far too small, thereby drastically under-exposing your photos, and making the film come out blankThere could be a problem when you inserted the film; if it remained inside the film cannister, it would never have gotten exposedThere could be a problem with the film itself; a factory problem of some sortThere could be a problem with the development process: If the lab you used had rotten chemicals, screwed up their timings, or did something else silly, it could result in a ruined film
What small detail from an Indian movie do you love?
Everyone has seen one of the greatest movie Bahubali.Not only the records it has broken but also the precision of details and subliminal messages showcased in the movie are so accurate that you might not just notice them straight away.Even a bindi is matter for them. Want to know how? see below.Sivagami – Full MoonThe Nindu-Bindhuvu on her forehead is an illustration of the dynamism and completeness of her character. The love and affection displayed by her character, the pride she has showcased, the bravery, the care, equality and judgmental skills, make it apt for her to bear a bindi reflecting the full moon- much like her character in the movie.Amrendra Baahubali- Half MoonHalf-moon has a scared interpretation in many religions, which is depicted by the care, following, balanced and cool behavior that is reflected in his character. Also, being Sivagami’s son, who is shown as a full moon, half-moon makes an impact as being the righteous son and the immense respect he has for her mother.Devsena- Gender EqualityThis bindi on Devasena’s forehead resembles integration of Male (♂) and Female (♀) gender symbols. She also had the courage to go against Sivagami, who is a very powerful character in herself.Bhallaladeva – Rising SunBhallaladeva always wanted to be the king of Mahismati kingdom and the rising sun is also the symbol of Mahismati, so the bindi very well justifies his aspirations for the kingdom. His eternal quench of revenge towards Amrendra Baahubai shows how hot-headed he is like the sun. Burning with rage and wanting to rise enough to the kingdom.Mahendra Baahubali – Serpent and Conch ShellAs Mahendra Baahubali is believed to be the reincarnation of Lord Shiva, so he is seen with Shivalinga tilak on his forehead. It also depicts incredible strength and valour.Kattappa – Loyal SlaveAs its no doubt how ardently was Kattappa a loyal servant to the Mahismati kingdom, his bindi rightly justified his character in the movie.Such a brilliabt movie makers south industry have!Jay mahismati!

Can an undeveloped 120mm film be scanned and turned to a digital file for photoshop?
you have to develop it first and then scan the negatives/positives. when you visit a photolab, ask them to develop and scan it into a CD. they usually charge per picture. the one i went to, the other day, charged about $1.50 per picture. overall, it costs about the same if you were to get the film developed and printed. i know 120 films are pretty expensive when it comes to developing and printing. but if you want to do it your way, you certainly can. just tell them to develop + scan the negatives into a CD. i think you might have to pay them for the blank CD as well. you'll have to ask them. just go to any local photolabs that develops 120. they should be able to do it for you. when you go home, insert the CD on your computer, click on photoshop and do whatever you want with your pictures.
Why did half of my film roll turn out completely blank (transparent?)?
I own the same camera. Great workhorse. IF your roll was first half okay and last half blank, then it may be the batteries failing. This would be supported by your friend's case where the battery should have been almost depleted so nothing was exposed at all. There might not be enough power to raise the mirror and open the shutter. Time to buy a fresh new set of AA's. I suggest Energizer Lithium. IF you are confident about your batteries, check the lens. It may be a stuck iris. Without film but with new batteries, set the camera to Bulb at f/8. Press the shutter release button and see the lens from the front if the iris moves in and out. Other than those two, it would be the camera failing already.
How can you tell which side of the film has the emulsion?
The emulsion side is the "dull" side. Also, if you can read the info on the negative, the side you are viewing from is NOT the emulsion side.
Exposed film in light.. is the whole roll ruined?
i'm using a holga and i had a bit of an accident with it. the battery for the flashes sort of fell out and i had to open it up and take out the batteries. the batteries were placed inside along with the loaded film so i definitely had to open it up. it wasn't exposed in bright lights. i found a shade and did it there. i've only taken 2 pictures so i thought only the first two pictures are ruined but what about the whole roll? should i just forget about the film and load a new one? or should i just keep going with it and hope for the best?
