Post subject:  Ghostly Goings On
I took a trip to the graveyard when it snowed with the intention of trying out some Kodak T-Max 400 in the Vivi. I took the whole film and sent it away on Monday. It came back on Friday and all scans came back fine.

Apart from one.

Now I dont believe in ghosts or angels or anything else. I am a compete cynic when it comes to such things. I've had a look at the photo though and when I condiser 1) that all other photos are fine; 2) it's not lens flare as I'm not facing away or into the sun; 3) this isnt a frame from the beginning or end of the film, then it raised my eyebrow a little.

I'm sure someone will give a proper explanation, like something happened during deveopling or scanning for this one frame, but you can make your own mind up.

Ossome!

I have nothing to offer sadly. It is what it is. :)
Swamp gas, reflected off a weather balloon, because of Venus close to the horizon or something. Yeah.

EDIT:

Do you have the rest frames either side of this one uploaded anywhere? Any chance of getting the three frames scanned entirely, sprocket holes n all?

Dodgy bit of film? Processing f**k up? Double exposure?

I can rule out double exposure. Dodgy film is possible but unlikely as all other pics from same film are fine. Processing f**k up quite possible but again all other frames are fine.

Love that one. Very, very nice.

Also - who did you use for processing?

That. Is a most awesome photo. *like*

As for the first photo, it's clearly, finally, unarguable proof of eternal life after death and the ability of our spiritual forms to affect light-sensitive chemicals situated within the physical realm in a blurry, indefinable way! *ghost noises*.

Someone has suggested to me that you may have actually photographed an exhale. That right there might just be condensing breath. YMMV.

That's what I would have mentioned.

http://PhotoFilmProcessing.co.uk/

It was £10 for b&w processing, scans to CD (upgraded to higher res scans) and free return delivery. Turn around was 4 days.

You can have prints done and that includes free CD scans.

That's a good explanation given the temperature on the day

I think it's just down to the weather mate. The same thing happened on one of my photos the other night. Heat/cold air/moisture, that type of thing-a-me-bob.

Just noticed this edit. All frames have been posted in the Flickr set but I cannot scan the negs myself as I dont have a proper scanner.

This was the frame before
