Light meter betrayed me on a sunny walk

Went out with my 35mm for a quick shoot, set the meter to ISO 400 because that was the box speed The sun was blazing, I dialed in 1/500 and felt good. Got home, loaded the roll, and the first few frames are practically black. Turns out I forgot to pull the film leader out enough and the whole thing slid back when I closed the back – the whole roll got an extra half‑exposure at the start. Now I'm stuck with a half‑finished roll that looks like a night sky. Anyone else had that sneaky slip-up? Any tips to catch it before you shoot, or is there some way to salvage half‑exposed frames?

overrated film stocks

ngl dont get why ppl rave about portra 400 so much. shot a few rolls and its just ok imo. cant see the diff between it and superia

stop glorifying push processing

i've had enough of the push‑film hype everyone acts like cranking the ISO is some artistic breakthrough. it just flattens highlights, adds grain that
