Random Film Finds
In many of my posts I reference and even lament the poor quality of some of the random outdated film I use. I’m a film agnostic, if the film fits I will try it. The results are often unpredictable but one thing I can say is that as film ages the way that it renders the light changes. It isn’t just that it looses some sensitivity it also can lose contrast and have colour shifts and is often far more grainy. Sometimes this can work to create interesting images but sometimes it just doesn’t work. What it does do is look different and that is a good thing. As much as I like beautiful well done digital images at times their homogeneity can be over powering. What’s wrong with a little randomness thrown in?
