Richard Beckinsale, Beeston, by Zabou
Fuji GW 690 Professional, Fuji Photo Film Co EBC Fujinon 90mm f/3.5 – Fujifilm RVP 50 (expired 12/1997)
I’m not sure if Expired Film Day is still a thing… but I still enjoy loading up my cameras with out of date film every March 15!
This image of actor Richard Beckinsale (6/7/1947 – 19/3/79) by the artist Zabou, has only had very slight tweaks to exposure and white balance… 28-year old slide film has no business looking this good!
