Eastern Glow Photo: Color from my Fuji GSW690III

A very nice rangefinder, incredibly light with huge negatives and a wide lens. No meter, though. My first roll through it, partially sorted. For some reason (likely my fault, possibly the lab's fault), there are large light leaks at the top and bottom of many frames (which have been cropped out, and there's plenty of negative left on 6x9). It's not likely that it was the camera; the negative envelope came back saying "loosely rolled," and the pattern indicates that the film wasn't wound tightly enough on the takeup spool. Meaning that the camera doesn't leak light and it possibly isn't winding the film tight enough. Again, likely either I messed up or someone at the lab. This is a bigger problem for 220 which has no paper backing. On the other hand, using 120 means I only get 8 shots a roll (16 on 220). The camera has a reversible pressure plate. I also noticed some scratching on the negatives. Could be from the camera (again, no paper backing) or the lab.

The man from whom I bought this camera, and my mom (who gave me a ride to pick it up) in his studio. This man also helped us dislodge my mom's car when it got stuck in the ice. He had a very low asking price and held it for me despite receiving more requests. He's a great guy, and apparently a big success at product photography.

Backyard at golden hour. Best time to get gold/blue tones even in winter. There's still color if you look hard enough. And if you look hard enough at this picture, there's a huge scratch on the negative.
