Absolute dream snorkelling with sperm whales and not a bad first underwater outing for my new Nikonos!

Hi friends
I have a canon ae1 and I’ve been running into a problem lately where sometimes my photos don’t come out and this is what the film always looks like when it doesn’t come out. It has these lines all across it, and actually this roll in particular had like maybe 1 and a half photos actually come out at the very beginning but that was it. Does anyone know what’s wrong with this means/ what’s wrong with it?
It’s weird because it doesn’t happen to every single roll that I shoot. I had shot two rolls back to back and one came out and the other didn’t come out (that’s the one pictured here)

I finally put a couple rolls through this where I feel like I am ready to talk about it. I went on a hunt to try and find the smallest, most pocketable 35mm fully mechanical rangefinder that I could. It seemed like that path took me right to this Olympus 35 RC. Olympus has a few other rangefinders in their 35 range but this is in fact the smallest.

I was worried about the actual functionality since it was so small but it is really enjoyable to use. The winding level feels incredible and is recessed into the body, it has an OFF position on the Aperture ring so that you don't accidentally take photos, the view finder is nice and bright and the patch is easily visible. It goes up to 1/500th a second and all the way down to Bulb which is actually kind of insane to me on something this small. It has an E. Zuiko 42mm f2.8 which is also suprisingly sharp but has this sort of vintage charm to it since its single coated.

The only thing I don't love about it is the frame lines in the viewfinder arent exact but once you put a roll or 3 through it you figure out the real framing of things.

This is now my favorite EDC camera and I have it with me constantly. It is also the first camera I have enjoyed shooting ultramax through.

Recently went to Utah and shot 3 rolls. The entire 2nd roll was like this. 1st and 3rd rolls are fine. Doesn't seem like light leaks or expired film. Just wondering what the problem could have been. Thanks!

Film: Kodak 400 Ultramax

Camera: Kodak Ultra F9

I highly recommend doing a photoshoot with a friend, it's a blast!! Hope you like them 😊

I would appreciate some feedback on what shots work/look good and which dont, and why, I understand it's subjective but I'm looking for technical skills and tips to develop. I also purposefully overexposed a decent amount of pictures on purpose, because I enjoy the grainy almost faded look.

Finally decided to take the K1000 downtown Detroit. I forgot about how aware you need to be with a full manual.

I’ve been shooting film for a little over a year now and am always looking for ways to improve. Any comments on my photography has come from family and friends which evidently tends to be biased.

Looking to get some feedback on some of my favourite photos from people who share the same hobby as myself. Any tips or constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.
