| Sep 27, 2021 at 9:21 | comment | added | jarnbjo | I am not sure if this explanation is correct. It is very difficult to achieve the sabattier effect even if you try to use it on purpose. I can hardly imagine how a random mistake or error during film processing may cause the effect to appear. | |
| Sep 27, 2021 at 6:46 | comment | added | jpa | @RomeoNinov That depends completely on the difference in brightness between the sky and the trees. Normally solarisation happens when sun ends up in the image, but if this was in a dark forest with long exposure, it could happen with the sky also. | |
| Sep 27, 2021 at 6:37 | comment | added | Romeo Ninov | @jpa, IMHO if the film is overexposed before develop it will be entirely blowout | |
| Sep 27, 2021 at 6:15 | comment | added | jpa | It could also be normal solarisation, which happens if the film is overexposed by a large amount. | |

| Sep 26, 2021 at 13:15 | comment | added | Romeo Ninov | @DavidAldridge, I do not have deep knowledge in chemistry, but AFAIK this effect is caused by light. | |
| Sep 26, 2021 at 12:52 | comment | added | David Aldridge | Gosh, it does! But I wonder how that could have happened ... do you think that could be from a problem with the fixing? | |
