Photography Welta Weltur

Overlapped Frames

It is remarkably easy to find the Weltur film advance knob when reaching for the focus knob. There is, unfortunately, no way to wind the film back outside of a black bag.

So the right view of the flowering tree overlaps the left. I scanned the right and left frames individually and together.

I adjusted the curves in the overlap to match the sides but that still left the boundaries. I tried leaving them as-is and with dividing lines. What do you think?

I am a photographer, walker, and sometime paddler, a theologically-educated geek living in Rochester, NY. Once upon a time I was an Army helicopter jockey in Alaska.

I started with film, switched to digital, then went back to classic film cameras.

With major back surgery in August 2019 and bunion repair in January 2020 now behind me, I am gearing up to start Appalachian Trail NOBO in June, 2021 to celebrate my seventy-first birthday. Blogging for The Trek.
