what happened here?

I developed the batch of 6 films (120). 4 were completely fine, and two of them had those wide blue stripes. Cannot be camera as those two films were shot with different cameras. Cannot be film itself - different films (Velvia and Provia) from different purchases. Something in the developing process, but what? Why other films were fine. Those "damaged" each contained 4 of those stripes on each film.

I'm just guessing but could it have been film touching itself on the spool in the development tank and not enough chemistry made it to those areas of film?

Nice image/panorama.

Is this from swinging-lens panoramic cameras like the Horizont? Looks like there's an issue with the way the lenses travel during exposure.
But it's highly unlikely that two camera's suffer from the same problem at the same time.

Not sure it's a developing issue as the edge markings are properly developed in that spot on the photo.

The other "problematic" slide film was shot with GA645, AF camera, so no, this cannot be the lens issue. I also tend to thing it was something with the improper film loading. Two films affected, must have been on the same reel (although I did not check). I did not inspect well before removing films from reels, so I can't be sure, but it's the only feasible version...
And now developed the second batch, also 6 films - all is fine. Must be sloppy loading on the reel then...

Sorry I don't have any technical advice to offer, but too bad a nice image was ruined! Is that a shot of the Great Dune in Provincetown MA?

No, this is Nagliu Dune in Nida, Lithuania.

I guess I was off by a few miles!

Maybe just some 10 hours of flight 🙂 Some places can be quite similar on planet Earth…
