What causes this? - "run" on a negative.
Processed a roll of film tonight - Fuji Neopan SS, in Ilford LC29. Did
everything the same as I normally do - developer at 1+19, 20deg C, 5 min, single shot, 10sec of agitation every minute - just per the instructions, and exactly how I do every other roll that I have developed. Once I finished, I noticed that most of the shots were quite drastically over-exposed (just got the camera back from repair, appears it isn't fixed). Anyway, on the over-exposed shots, the negative looks like the silver has run, sort of like if i was to put ink on blotting paper. It is most noticeable around the edges of the frame, where the "run" goes for about 2 or 3 millimetres past the edge of the frame. Is this a problem in the developing process, and if so, what? or simply an artifact of the over-exposure? I had a closer look at the camera, and it looks like the meter is now running 3 stops over, so that would roughly be how overexposed the film is. |

Sounds like one of two things; Surge marks from over agitation or sometimes when film is dramatically overexposed the over exposure "bleeds" somewhat into the film base where would typically be clear. -- LF Website @ http://members.verizon.net/~gregoryblank "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."--Theodore Roosevelt, May 7, 1918 |

You have such drastic overexposures that light is "piping" through the emulsion so that film is exposed beyond the focused object. |

What you see is halation caused by light rebounding off the back of the film base. This is caused by severe over-exposure. |
