TPF Noob!
I cannot believe exactly HOW STUPID I was just now !!!
I had about 12 exposures left on a roll of Fuji Provia 100F, and sunset was dynamic today, so I went to finish off the roll.
Walking back to the house (and not paying attention to what I was doing)
I started rewinding the film.
Keep in mind, this is the 2nd roll of film I have ever put through this camera (Canon AV-1) and in my haste, I started winding the spool BACKWARDS! The film cassette jammed and would not rewind, but it FELT like the film was finished rewinding, so I opened the camera to see FILM still spooled out! AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!! (wait, it gets better!!)
SO, I'm standing here looking at this roll of film, and I think to myself, "Boy, that doesn't LOOK like enough film to be 36 exposures," so what did I do?
I'd like to say that I clipped the end off the roll and saved my beautiful sunsets, but I can't.
Flashback: "Boy, that doesn't LOOK like enough film to be 36 exposures."
Then I .....
PULLED the film out of the cassette to verify that indeed, the film strip WAS longer!!
ARRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!
Oh, well, I guess laughing about it is better than crying about it! :scratch:
