What happens when you use 25 year old Fuji Super HR 100 film in a camera of about the same age?\u00a0 It’s a trick question because the camera doesn’t matter but the film\u00a0went\u00a0through some weird colour transformations.\u00a0 I should mention that I exposed the film as if it were 50 ASA which was intended to help compensate for the loss of sensitivity over time of the film.\u00a0 No matter what you do though there is no getting past the fact that the film is irrevocably outdated.\u00a0 The blacks turned a toxic green and much of the contrast\u00a0was lost, its fantastic.\u00a0 Perhaps its a little rebellion against the perfection others are striving to achieve with digital photography.\u00a0 Much as a painter laying down a stroke of thick paint can’t fully predict the result the uncertainty of film and especially expired film is a welcome diversion from high megapixels and just how much detail an image can capture before its heavily edited and shrunk down for posting to social media.<\/p>\n
