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!

Nikon F-301, Nikkor 105mm f/2.5 Ai-S, 1/500s, f16 – Ilford Delta 400 Professional rated at ISO 800
Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 10½ mins at 20°c.

An image from last January, shoppers cast shadows along Fargate in Sheffield…

Even with the 105mm’s built-in lens hood there’s still a reduction in contrast and a little flare but I quite like it.
