Drain Breaker II
Another black and white conversion from my number six roll at the 52 Rolls Project.
This is the way the scanner detected the frames on a stretch of film that had serious light leaks introduced when the camera back popped open (see here for the original colour version).
I quite like the way this distressed diptych came out in black and white, which means you get to see it too.
But on balance, I prefer the single-frame conversion of a similar image posted a few days ago.

Wow – I love this, even though it’s a mistake! I almost feel engulfed by the water from the frame on the right.

Hi Melinda – I know you have a soft spot for this drain feature. There was not much more of that frame on the right as it took the full blast of light from the door opening, but I like that broken and unbalanced aspect of the diptych, and the way the shoreline is a bit out of alignment between frames adds some energy too. It reminds me that my Olympus Pen half-frame is loaded with film (since July) and really needs to be shot, with deliberate diptychs.

Why, yes, I DO have a soft spot for that drain!
Do you think mid-April might be a good time to work on this deliberate diptychs?

Mid April might well be. They can take quite a bit of time so anyone else who is along might feel like they are standing around a lot.

Unless he or she had his or her own camera and could fill up the time taking photos.

True, that can work. I will have to see if that is true! I think the film in that camera is really slow – no faster than ISO 100, perhaps only 50. So will need the brighter light of April to shoot confidently with that camera, and its limited range of shutter speeds.

The black and white diptych is far moodier, light leaks and all.

Hi Peter – thanks for dropping by this blog. I am glad you like how the image came out in black and white. I think that light leaks, especially in black and white, can sometimes add to a photo rather than detract.

I love the emotion in this diptych, dramatic yet soothing

Hi Angelina – thanks for the comment! This image is growing on me, at first even though I liked it, it did not resonate. But the more I see of it, the more it pleases me.
