Sup, /p/. I'm new to your side of 4chan, and I have a question. I recently received an Olympus OM-1 from my aunt. I was outside taking pictures today, went and got the film developed, but the pictures were all blue, or had a mostly blue hue or tinge to them. So, what did I do wrong, and how can I prevent that from happening again.
your camera probably has a light leak.check the seals around the back of the camera and make sure they're not sticky or too deteriorated.make sure you're shutter and aperture are working properly.
>>230975If it's a uniform blue tint, it's probably not a light leak. Perhaps the film isn't balanced for the light situation, or is expired. Where were you taking pictures, OP?
OP here. I was down at the beach, so it was very sunny out.
>>231011>expiredThis most likely. Try a new film from a different shop.Also, congrats on your new camera, it's one of, if not the most awesome camera yet produced.
>>230973Oh now that's scary, I just got an Olympus OM-2 from my aunt.
>>231027both of you have the same aunt, she just like you better so you recieved OM-2 instead of OM-1
I have this camera. My crank needs repairing, You guys think I could get it fixed?
>>231049i lol'd
>>231770OK, so your crank needs repairing. As long as the camera's is OK.See a doctor.
>>230973I used to have a batered old OM-1N, pretty much the same thing. Could be old/cheap/both film, or a bit of moisture in the lens casing.Awesome camera!
did you accidentally use tungsten film?anyway, check the light seals, though its unlikely a leak would turn your photos blue. try some different film, it's a great camera.
