When you look back at it, making mistakes is all part of the fun, it's not so much fun just after it's happened though

That is three films potentially wasted.
No idea what camera it was, but fingers crossed it defaulted to a mechanical shutter speed and that if you were using negative film, you might have a reasonable chance of getting some usable shots
Ah. F4 ones will probably be burnt to a crisp! You'll probably find the narrower aperture ones are ok. Sunny 16 and all that
Uh oh, darker than a dark thing in dark land?
The first roll of film you ever shoot is usually destined to be ruined. Mine was! Manual exposures with no experience ~ it was inevitable!
Couple of months back during a shoot, was thinking I must have a very long roll of film (like 40 shots instead of the usual 36) in the camera as thinking it must time soon to change film. Then checked for movement of the film rewind lever as I wound up a shot and realised it wasn't moving. Opened up the back and realised I had been shooting with no film in it, doh.
1) That isn't a way to ruin a roll of film, it's a way to mess up a shot. 2) It's not bad
The photo's of the Robin are in my opinion very good the first has movement in the wings that really look good.
I replaced the lightseals in one of my cameras a couple of days ago then loaded it up, i find out today when i tried to get the film out that ive managed to glue the bloody film door shut :bang: The problem with a good contact adhesive is that it does it's job very well Had to prise the bugger open with a screwdriver, then slipping and jamming the screwdriver into the film canister and shafting it :nuts:
Oh dear! Was it that pliobond adhesive that you recommended to me?? I have yet to get on with using it on my leatherette!
And the camera..has it survived it's ordeal or is that shafted too?
The camera survived fine It was a mixture of pliobond and another glue, which appeared to make it ridiculously strong :bang:
Sneezing on it.

That's good to hear that you still have the camera in one piece.
Mixing glues!!!.........I wonder does that make you a "robglueley"!! lol
Ive had every variation of my surname except that one so far

Uh oh, mine was in the darkroom at college & it'd just been loaded onto the spool in the dark ~ awkward!
