Narrative

I was digging through old photos last week and came across this one where I got a weird effect 'in the sky.' I just wanted to share it for fun and to see if anyone else has ever seen something like it show up on their b&w film. You can see the weird effect on the negative and it's not 'newton rings' from the scanning process. I had the film in a holder above the glass on my scanner. I was just out burning up film and taking photos out of boredom. The location was Ames, Iowa. No, I didn't see...
