Lloyds Pharmacy 200, bleak midwinter, DIY C41

[iangreenhalgh1]

I made up a fresh batch of Fuji Hunt Xpress developer and this was the first film through it. Contax IIIa, Biogon 2.8/35. Weather was awful but I accepted that and tried to capture the damp, gray atmosphere.

Ian, on my monitor all your shots seem to have an ugly green cast.

[iangreenhalgh1]

Probably Ed, such are the vagaries of long expired cheap off-brand C41 films, I've had all kinds of wacky colours and casts with prior rolls.

My conclusion from this roll was the light was really too bad to make nice pics and with C41 films, if they are expired more that a couple of years, it becomes a gamble as o what you get.

Terrible result

[iangreenhalgh1]

Yes, I had even worse with the first roll of this film I shot, there is 1 more left, I won't be using it.

I think the key thing is how the film was stored, seems this was not stored well.

Jeez I have colour film going back 12-14 years and old "no name" films from boot sales, but never had results as bad as this...................

I think some frames are actually quite passable from a lomo point of view. And do go to that lomography site, there they'll love each and every frame to death.
