AD5803 - Test Prints

Here there are the contact sheets test prints of my second and third rolls of film, the ones shot with the Hasselblad.

I usually do time slots of 3 seconds exposure; there are a couple of things I have to remember for the next time:

- Make sure the glass plate is flat on the negatives. In the second test print it wasn't and in fact the contact sheets are out of focus.

-Display the negatives in the same orientation!!!

- Make sure the negatives don't slip under the plate's frame

Here I fully exposed the contact sheet with the same time.

Just for personal research's sake, I also have the disastrous test prints from the first roll that was as well a complete disaster

I knew that the negatives themselves were almost certainly unusable, but I did some test print anyway and I did EVERYTHING wrong. The glass plate was not in contact with the negatives so they came out completely cloudy. Since the camera had light leaks the pictures were extremely overexposed and I had to expose them for longer in order to see something. The last contact sheet has been exposed to light before the stop bath so it started flashing.

I learnt my lesson.

However, I tried to scan the few visible pictures of that roll and, even if they are of a very low quality, I can still see some images.
