Seagull WWSC-10, Haiou 75mm f/3.5 – 1/60s, f11, – Fuji Velvia RVP 50 (expired August 1997)

An image from Expired Film Day 2023.

A couple of years ago a pal (Hi Simon!) gave me a quantity of Fuji Provia RDP II 100 and Velvia RVP 50 slide film that had all expired in 1997 or 1998. A bit of research suggested exposing it at box speed and cross my fingers for reasonable results.

Even though I bracketed my exposures this year, every frame of this roll is terribly underexposed… atmospheric though!

Snow kept me indoors last weekend so I attempted some still-life photography using a Mamiya C330f twin-lens reflex camera and a rather interesting accessory called a paramender… I’ll be writing about this setup next week.

Handyside Bridge spans the River Derwent in Derby and used to carry the Great Northern Railway’s (GNR) Derbyshire and Staffordshire extension from Eggington Junction to Colwick.

You can now walk across the bridge from Darley Park to Chester Green… to the Little Chester Ale House should that appeal 😁

An image from our recent trip to Scotland… while everyone else explored the Maggie Law Maritime Museum I wandered around the harbour with my Ondu 6×6 Pocket pinhole camera.
