Hi everyone,
A local lab did the developing and scanning and printing for the following photo. The picture was taken on a very foggy morning. I was doing the bracketing just to make sure I got the proper exposure. I believe this picture was taken 2 stops over the exposure metered by the camera. In other words, this shot was taken over-exposed.
I noticed the two vertical faint streaks on the sky, one left of the lighthouse and one on the right. They are on the scanned image as well as print. I took the negative to the lab and the tech worked there said the spots are on the negative. One person there claimed it could have been due to the defected film. The other person said it is my camera. "something happened in your camera, dust got on the film in your camera somehow," she said. They don't look like dust to me at all though.... I don't find either answer satisfied me.
What do you folks think? I did notice the similar kind of streaks over the sky area of a couple other pictures but not as obvoius. However, only the over exposed ones have them. I don't see them on any photo taken according to the camera's metering.
I know there might not be an absolute answer but I'm hoping to rule out it's something wrong with my camera or lens..... Thank you in advance! btw the film is kodak portra 160.
