    Default I think I Ghosted my film!

    Im freaking out. Found out the rewind buton on my Nikon em is broke so after shooting all around Savannah Georgia and 36 exposures on vacation. I could not rewind the film it was locked. So I went into the bathroom put a towle under the door. Took me about 5 min to get the rool spooled. Its 100iso film. I noticed after beeing in there that once my eyes adjusted I could see only a tiny amount of light on the coorner of the door. Think that minout amount ghosted 100iso redscale lomography film? Im not sure how sensitive it is. I still could not see my hand or anything eles after even being in there for 10 min.

    It might be one of those "develop and see" situations, but you might be ok. If it took 5 minutes or more to notice any light leak, it could mean very minimal to no fogging, especially if you were facing away from the source. And, it isn't really a fast film so, you got that going for you, too. Besides, you're exposing film backwards to begin with, so you might have added an extra little something to the redscale film technique......I would be interested in knowing how it comes out.
