Wow. I don't know if I am the only one who has trouble with black and white (100 ISO, in case it was pertinent) film. I am not finding what I am looking for on Google.
I have to shoot a roll, have it developed, and turn in the negatives I receive to the photo instructor.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time that I have encountered this issue. I am trying to load my roll of film in to the camera. It keeps slipping off the advancer. :mad::mad::mad: The first time this happened, I had it developed and, therefore, ruined before I knew. This time, I knew what to look for. I couldn't even get it to go along when I would advance the lever and depress the shutter. The film just keeps slipping off! I even got it to actually stay in place and thought the problem had been resolved. I advanced, clicked, advanced, clicked, trying to get to a spot where I could take a picture. It slipped off AGAIN right on the 0 or right before it.
I was really struggling with whether I should open it. I figure, if the film is ruined then it is ruined. I have to open the camera at some point to either remove the film entirely or to fix it anyways! I have a final to do, so something HAD to be done. So, I opened it, and the film was under the advance but not in the actual slot. I gently removed it and put it back in place, hoping that the film is still usable at this point. Right now, the only film that is hanging out is what I would have advanced past trying to get to where I could actually snap a photo.
My queries are these...
Why is it that my black and white film slips so much? (I've NEVER had this issue with any colour film!)
Should I have opened the camera?
What was the proper way to fix this issue?
Am I just being weird?
At any rate... :D If you wanted to know... I am currently doing very well in my photo class! It is always a surprise! The instructor is very precise and not easy to make happy. Thankfully, taking photos is second nature to me these days and I received an A on my landscape assignment! :D It makes me giddy to think about!
Also, is there any way for me to post my slides on the webs? Would I have to convert them to a CD during developing?
Thanks so much!
