Medium Format Glare on Photos


In using my medium format camera, I have noticed that, on several photos, a long white, hazy glare appears at the bottom of the photos. The photos on which the glare appears were taken at different times, with different light settings with different types of film. Does anyone know why this occurs? Thanks for your answers.

  What kind of medium format camera do you have, Susan?

  Possible light leak in the camera?

  I was going to going to guess it was a Holga with a light leak, but didn't want to be too presumptuous.

If that is the case, then Holga-fans will say you have discovered the secret that makes the Holga such a wonderful tool for creating art.

Everyone else will say that it's a light leak ruining your photos.
