SHOOTING EXPIRED 35MM FILM - A Waste of Time?

8/21/2018 ISO 1200 Magazine 0 Comments

Shooting expired 35mm film, is it a complete waste of time? It's time for a CREATIVE EXPERIMENT.

BEHIND THE SCENES AND FINAL IMAGES

📷 15 years since I last shot 35mm film on a fully manual SLR camera. 24 exposures, zero ability to immediately review what was shot and to top it off, 15 year old expired film. Dropping two rolls off at the lab today and will find out if I completely wasted my time or not. (creative experimentation in progress I guess so it’s never a complete waste of time, but you get the picture ;) • • • • • #film #filmphotography #filmisnotdead #35mm #analog #movie #ishootfilm #cinema #filmcamera #believeinfilm #filmcommunity #analogue #kodak #analogphotography #staybrokeshootfilm #filmfeed #movies #buyfilmnotmegapixels #thefilmcommunity #shootfilm #35mmfilm #filmmaking #kodak #youtube #keepfilmalive #filmphoto #films #filmmaker #mediumformat #cinematography

35mm expired film (Dec 2003). I shot two rolls and got some pretty interesting results. The film grain and color shifting on these prints are evident. Camera: 1970’s Pratika LTL 35mm SLR. Lens: SMC Takumar 100mm macro F4. Film stock: Kodak Max 400 (expired dec 2003). Working on the video of the process this week. Coming soon for those wanting to know more. EDIT. The photos are unedited.• • • • • #film #filmphotography #filmisnotdead #35mm #analog #movie #ishootfilm #cinema #filmcamera #believeinfilm #filmcommunity #analogue #kodak #analogphotography #staybrokeshootfilm #filmfeed #movies #buyfilmnotmegapixels #thefilmcommunity #shootfilm #35mmfilm #filmmaking #actor #kodak #keepfilmalive #filmphoto #films #filmmaker #mediumformat #cinematography #fstoppers

Shooting film again has really reminded me how much of a craft it is. Really understanding the light meter readings and applying them to your camera to get your desired look is rewarding. - said Mark on his Instagram-
