Fujica GW690 + Y15 yellow filter – 1/250s, f11, – Kodak T-Max 400
Finally got around to scanning the films from my recent trip to the Isle of Whithorn!
Just before the trip I invested in a Tiffen Y15 yellow filter for the Fujica GW 690 that I’ve (still… thanks James!) got on loan and it stayed on the camera all week.
I’m not sure, but this might have been my first time shooting Kodak T-Max 400… If so, why haven’t I used it sooner? I love the combination of this film and filter!

‘I enjoy traveling and recording far-away places and people with my camera. But I also find it wonderfully rewarding to see what I can discover outside my own window. You only need to study the scene with the eyes of a photographer.’

A few frames from… Expired Film Day 2019
Yachts, Bridlington, March 2019
Olympus μ [mju:] – II – Kodak Gold 100 (expired 1996) rated at ISO 25
A very quick post today as I’m off to Bridlington tonight to see The Red Hot Chilli Pipers perform at the Spa!
Back in March one of mine and Rachel’s ‘Photography Friday’ jaunts coincided with Expired Film Day and these images were taken on a very battered Olympus μ [mju:] – II compact camera that I managed to pick up in a charity shop a few weeks before for a mere £1.95!
I was pleasantly surprised by how well these films performed, especially the Fuji Super G Plus 200 that was 22 years out of date!
