Typically not something I enjoy in photography, the random chances with the equipment of photography, but the Sprocket Rocket sometimes creates these really interesting “flaws” that turn a photo into something unique and more than it was before.
You can see there are light leaks that came through the sprocket hols, almost creating a trailing effect along the lower sprockets. To me, it creates this odd dream like a effect, like a flash was popped in a fluid ocean of dream and this was the result. Like I said, I’m not the kind of photographer that would really use expired film, flawed cameras or inconsistent technology, and hope for the magic of happenstance; but with the Sprocket Rocket, I the unique flaws it brings to an image are contained enough that they can be relied on to add rather than distract. Its one of those things that makes such a simple camera a great camera.
