We're all guilty of trying to squeeze every last frame we can out of a roll of film. For this week's #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites we asked you to share those #firstshot frames that were extras. (You know the one's we mean where only half the frame is properly exposed) As usual, you didn't disappoint.

@BarnabyNutt When I got an M6, I kept on losing the first frame, and so began taking a picture of my feet as #FrameZero. I now have more than 70...#ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites #firstshot

Contact sheets are a great way to review and record your images. They allow you to view all the negatives on a roll of film before deciding which ones you want to print and how you may want to crop them. They also provide a permanent record of those negatives for filing purposes. For next week's #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites we want you to share your #contactsheets.
