Camera Light Leak Issue at Wanda Devine blog

Camera Light Leak Issue. So i am trying to narrow it down to either a leak in the camera, my film handling or the labs film handling and processing. Let’s talk about what you can do to mitigate light leaks during those long exposures. There are a few different issues that can cause light leaks. It will sometimes cause a white or red area on the film/print that. As i have pointed out, the chief culprit is the viewfinder. Being essentially a small optical path that receives light bounced off the prism and mirror inside the camera, it often does the reverse of its job too. If you're unfamiliar with what a light leak is, it is basically a space on the camera that allows light to leak into the inside and therefor over exposing the film. When shooting long exposures during the day, many dslr cameras experience light leakage around the viewfinder. My light seal issue often times when you find an old camera, whether it’s been sitting for years or well used, the light seals can. A lot of things can cause light leaks, but the most common perpetrators are either (1) accidentally (or sometimes purposefully if you’re me) opening the back of the camera when film is loaded, or (2) bad/missing light seals. These light leaks will appear as faded or discolored streaks or bursts in your scans, extending beyond the frame to the rebate edge.
