The CSB Experience 2: A Photographer's First Rolling Mistake

Wagghhh! I made a mistake! I'm sorry but it's all too late! (Wait, parang nag-rhyme bigla?).

     For today's Fotogra, we were to exercise shallow depth of field (Aperture f/2.8 to f/1.8) and as well as recording data via bracketing. I was almost doing fine until sometime past noon. I finished all 24 rolls of film using my borrowed Nikon FM3a (not "FM3" as previously thought).

        But when I was about to have the film roll "de-roll" using the film rewind knob, I forgot the simplest thing: push that metal button found below he cam so that whatever's holding the film could release it. Releasing it would help me rewind the film back into its crypt.

       Unfortunately, forgotting that little detail came out disastrous effects: the film was pulled out of its container instead of the container pulling it in.And because it is out, it'd be difficult to put it back without exposing the film. In short, I was screwed. No choice but to have the entire film exposed in order to get it out from the FM3a.

      One good news, I could still borrow the FM3a on Saturday right before my 9am class on that day. But i would also mean, missing the finale episode of my wide-followed telenovela on Studio 23. Waghh!
