| Jan 9, 2021 at 22:07 | comment | added | osullic | Absolutely no offence to the OP intended, but I do always think it's amazing how people can do this... "I did actually open the camera door a few times throughout shooting! I really had no idea." I guess I'm just from a different generation. It's as if people think the film somehow "knows" to only be sensitive to light when it has an opened shutter and lens next to it! I hope your journey with film photography has been more fruitful since this post (and maybe now you too can see the funny side of what you did :-) ) | |

| Jun 23, 2017 at 16:23 | comment | added | Roflo | Hi SeenYourVideo, and welcome to Photo.SE! Do you happen to have the negatives at hand? We could rule out a printing problem if they also look bad. Also, like SandorDosa asked: Did any of the shots come back looking good? | |
| Jun 23, 2017 at 7:24 | comment | added | meklarian | I'd like to add: don't be so quick to fault the OP. A film camera can look great on the outside, but be unkind to an unfamiliar user who doesn't realize the light seals are bad or that a slightly loose camera door may be trouble. Looking at the sample images, one can see that these are reasonably sharp, have decent DoF, and have a blue cast, suggesting they were shot in low light. This are not shooting conditions that are friendly to absolute first-time photographers and the OP likely knows what they are doing outside of film photography. | |
| Jun 23, 2017 at 6:57 | comment | added | osullic | @Sandor More likely a lab issue? I doubt it. A lab does this every day of the week. A person new to film photography with an old/untested camera is more likely the source of a light leak. Of course, I'm just assuming, but so are you! | |

| Jun 23, 2017 at 3:56 | comment | added | Sandor Dosa | Both of these examples look like some sort of light leak has over-exposed parts of the frame. More likely a lab issue than a light leak in your camera body. Did any of the shots come back good? | |
