Bad Negative Appreciation

I spent part of today scanning some negatives left untouched since

1985. This is the last strip on a roll of Kodak VR1000 and it has

three frames, though the exposure was so poor that it is nearly

impossible to tell where one ends and another begins. It looks like

one frame of 24 x 110 mm or so. My original scan of this is 45 MB,

but I resized it to make for easy posting; this version is just under

six MB. I've done no spotting as it would be pretty hard to tell

spots of dust from clumps of grain. Or giant dye molecules; whatever.



I remember the night I took the pictures -- I was trying to get an

impression of the light from the other side of Chamberlains Cove

falling on the intervening water. I was not impressed by what I got

but, thirty-odd years later, I kinda like it. Having the three frames

together like this, by the way, makes an image nothing like reality.

This was in my Minolta X370 and probably with my 50mm lens.
