I did some small prints last night and saw these dotted areas in the sky, on the right side. Thought it was the paper or chemistry at first but then I noticed it's on the negatives and it broke my heart. Will never relive the gaza war again hopefully so these images are really special to me.
I did a big print just so that I could take a photo with my phone and show to you and see if anyone can figure out what that is. Here is a link to it: http://s2.postimg.org/3mi4lj9k9/IMG_0046.jpg
What I know:
1. It's on the negative
2. It's on the entire roll
3. It kind of runs in lines ( on another negative there is three)
4. The film has been kept in led bags, passing trough about 7 x-rays (including an awful looking one at Rafah border crossing, the Egypt-Gaza border.
5. I was out in 44 degrees celsius shooting and since there is basically no electricity in Gaza it was not very cold in the freezer where I kept them.
6. It's mostly visible in the skies but it runs all over the film.
7. I processed it myself as always in X-TOL 1:1.
I have not seen anything like this before, anyone know what it is?
I don't have a scanner so thats why I took a photo of a straight print.
Tell me if that's not enough and i'll borrow some scanner and scan the negative.
