Really weird one here. This is colour portra film, I'm not sure if it's overexposed but as I do all my own processing now there are no prints to see so I'm relying completely on my scanner. This is how a shot in my garden turned out, using an extension ring. Anyway whatever has caused this I like the colour and just spotted a face hiding when I cropped it. Only 3 days to go !!!!
I must say I'm in awe of everyone who has managed to do it by the rules but it would be hard and expensive to do with film. I've also decided against the 52 rolls - I have a couple of ideas for the coming year and if they go ahead I won't have time.

Nice one and once again I am going to tip my hat to you for your dedication with the film work. How you have managed to make it work for the year I don't know. You must be superhuman.
@kali66 Process negs first, then scan. Not the best scanner and if the neg is overexposed (dark) it scans light. I have never printed colour but I bought a colour enlarger cheap on ebay and plan to try that next year! I do sometimes process negs in PS - curves etc. But have done very little with this bar cropping.
@kali66 Yes! 100's - I started off getting them processed in the local lab but at £8 a roll it was restricting, a C41 kit cost £16 and on average it can 12-15 rolls - a massive difference. I had all the equipment needed already so that wasn't a cost and all I do is scan and file in neg strips. I kind of miss the prints but not the price. With b&w I often do a contact strip in the darkroom but not as much as I'd like.
Oh yeah that's definitely a face! Love the tones, OmG only 3 more to go & you've done it! This project can get difficult at times with any camera but you've had such a harder task with amazing results, you've opened the eyes of many of us so well done & thank you :-) Fav :-)
I saw the face in it right away, at first it was a face then it was a wolfs face now I have decided it is human with a wolfs head dress as I can see a neck line.
I have a shot similar to this, it was shot lying down looking up at some overhanging growth and it was over exposed sky, mine was made with the Holga lens though.
its all too much commitment for me, but at least as long as I post one a day I can collect some old pics together as fillers. Shooting a roll a week is no good if the weather goes shite for a week as it often does here, maybe if we were in california!
