I got the chance to try
two expired slide films from the 1980's and Jacopo and I took the
Mamiya RB67 to
Herttoniemen Siirtolapuutarha to test them: nothing came out from the
Fujichrome 100 D RDP - while the
Fujichrome 400 D RHP gave some interesting and very peculiar results.
Fuji FP-100 C:
Fuji FP-100 C negative:
✻ the only non-expired film that we had that day was one last FP-100 C.
Fujichrome 400 D RHP:
✻ from the photograph I like the most to the one I like the least.
the film was so old that I had to compensate for its age by
rating it at 100 iso instead of 400. the slides came out almost
transparent and the only colours remaining were
the greens - the photograph with the red house was the only one that got some more colours. this must be
my last experiment with expired slides - I think next time
I will go back to the Siirtolapuutarha with my
Mamiya RB67 and a
well preserved high iso film!
I really like the Fuji negative - it's surreal in quality! :)
ReplyDeletethank you, Charlyn! :-) yes, fuji fp-100c negatives can turn out really good! too bad for the expired film though, I am quite disappointed about it.
Deletecapisco un pò di delusione ma trovo queste foto ugualmente affascinanti... sembrano essere state ritagliate da una rivista anni 70... ci verrebbe fuori un bel collage :) <3
ReplyDeleteti ringrazio molto, Emi. con pellicole così vecchie purtroppo e' tutto lasciato al caso!
Deletedespite the greens, those little houses are lovely
ReplyDeletegrazie mille! the place is a sort of common garden, from which people can buy a small piece of land to build their own little cottages and private gardens - places like this one are quite common in Finland and I find them very fascinating! :-)
DeleteWhat a great experiment. I love how you photographed them at a straight angle, almost as if you were walking right up to them. Such a pretty outcome! :)
ReplyDeletethank you so much, Valerie! :-) it means a great deal to me, because not many people seem to appreciate these experimental photos.
DeleteI have the same experience with my Kadak EPP. If you can hardly see the series number on the edge or the dark gap that should be shown on the unexposed part of the slide, that means the color development time is not enough. The first stage of developing processing is called the first development, the second stage is called the color development. Therefore, you should increase the color development time. From your description, I will suggest you double the time needed. You should see the color after doubling the time. Although the result won't be so good as new slide film will show. Good luck.
