In film photography, so many accidents can be fatal: the accidental exposure of film, “developing” your film in fixer first, even loading a roll of film backwards so that no exposures result :-(. Occasionally though, a technical issue can result in a good image. The image below is from a roll that I developed yesterday morning, and there was an issue with the fixer chemical, leaving a fog in some frames. When I scanned the negative, however, the fog in this image resulted in a blue tinge/haze over much of the frame. Even though it was a black and white image, I scan my negatives in colour, hence the blue.
Since the subject matter is ice, the blue really fits in well. I am going to have a go at refixing the negative (since it will just get worse) over time, but in the meantime, I am enjoying this happy accident.

And I’ll bet there’s no “oops!” Photoshop plugin for that effect 🙂
The shading in the background certainly does add to the atmosphere of the shot – definitely serendipitous, rather than calamitous.

Hey John, That’s a shot. Leave it in negative state. Love the etched surface of the ice (texture). The side lighting (backlighting?) adds form (dignity) to the ice. The background tones reflect the mysteriousness of the forms. Trilithic!!!

Thanks Rodney!
I already refixed the negative, to prevent further degradation; I would have let it alone if I knew for sure that it wouldn’t get worse!
