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!

I really should spend more time in my local park, it’s a lovely spot to soak up the sun and watch the world go by…
The Crossley Park bandstand dates from 1999 and regular brass band concerts are held in it during the summer months. It replaced the 1937 original that was destroyed by fire in 1997.
