First Color Dev
Over the holidays I was gifted about a dozen rolls of expired Kodak and Fuji 400 and 800 35mm film by my mom. She had them sitting in a camera bag she took to Hawaii with her back in 2015ish. At least I think it was 2015. Maybe it was 2005? I have no idea, there are no dates at all on the rolls themselves so I assume they are well expired by now.
They are definitely still shoot able. This is a mix of her film and a roll I got from a guy who sold me the Samsung camera I used to shoot them.
As you can see, I have absolutely no idea how to develop C-41! First I had issues loading the reels with the 35mm film (120 is waaaaaay easier). Then I guess I had temperature issues. Not sure. But I think they still came out kinda cool and not too bad for a first time.
I did notice a considerable difference between scanning with "Color Restoration" and without. It seems some shots look better and some don't.
I'm not sure I'm a fan of the Samsung. I guess for a point and shoot you can't expect much more.
Folds in the film definitely make for some odd outputs.
Anywho, these are just a few examples of what came out. I'll share more throughout the week, interspersed with medium format and 35 bw shots. Stay tuned!

Neat! Expired film is great for experimenting. What a wonderful gift to receive!
120 film is a helluva lot easier to load, for sure. I think the developing turned out pretty well, and I think I prefer the photos without the colour correction. They're a little more emotional.
I agree, I like the moodiness when they aren't color corrected. There is something nostalgic in the messiness of film that gets lost in all the digital corrections.
