I was surprised how well those turned out. As a slide shooter back in the day, I know how unpredictable expired slides are. Good to know cross-processing helps!
I was honestly surprised with how nice the images came out. Some of my older work that I've done with expired slide film has been lack luster, but honestly these are fantastic in my humble opinion, hahaha
I'm scared to try cross processing with some slide film i have because all examples i've seen has had extreme color shifts and/or strong tints of a color. Is that just the nature of the beast or does it have to do with how the film has been stored? All slide film i have has been stored in the freezer and only lived outside it going from previous owner to my freezer.
I really was surprised with how nice they came out being cross processed too. I've been enjoying results on other films too. I think I want to shoot some non expired slide film and try that out as well.
I've been really enjoying the 65mm a lot since I picked it up last year. I've been tempted to pick up the 50mm as well just for that extra bit of width after shooting with the 65mm for awhile. Also the 180mm is an amazing lens that I highly recommend. It's perfect for portraits and close up shots.
Man you got some serious bangers from low iso expired slide film. Now you wont have to write a report on losing and flailing now, even though youll say it once again and turn to a friend.
Man, those night interior shots were amazing! I am not a huge fan of night photography, mainly because here in Germany you do not find many good spots, but these pictures really rocked!
Thank you so much!! I find suburbs to be the best too shoot at night. There’s just enough going on in the composition and enough light to make something pleasing. Sometimes shooting in the city can be too busy. As well light trails from traffic can be distracting if you don’t want them in your composition. As well shooting in really rural places at night is hard because you’re depending on maybe one or two light sources for your image so that just adds to the difficulty.
Great video! I've shot a few rolls of Ektachrome 64T and a ton of the Fuji version Fujichrome T64. Both are awesome film stocks that leaned a very cool blue in the light color temps. Did you find that the lights were blue in your rolls when you developed or scanned them? The shot at 8:54 is what I saw most with this film stock where the lights look white in real life but turn out blue on the film. Again awesome video!
Thank you so much, I'm jealous of your stash of Fujichrome 64T, I would love to see some of those shots. So, my rolls were a little more weird being developed in C-41. That being said, I didn't really color correct anything. Basically set white balance, covered the photos to positive in Lightroom using NegativeLab Pro, and just adjusted the highlights, shadows, whites and blacks. I think I pushed the contrast ever so slightly. As for the light in 8:54, that was a LED security light if I'm not mistaken, so from what I've found out is more modern LED lights, are actually blue on film, where the older sodium, mercury, etc vapor lights have that warm glow. This video actually took awhile to make because I was searching for warmer lights.
@@northwestdepressed Gotcha! that's interesting you developed in C41. I haven't done much cross-processing experimentation yet. Good to know though, I was wondering if all mine T64 was bad lol. Yeah for sure, I have a video on my channel called Ode to Tungsten that has a ton of shots from Fujichrome T64 as well as Portra 100T and Fuji NPL 160T if you want to see more examples. Makes sense about the lighting. I think these tungsten films were made for a time and type of light that doesn't really exist as much anymore since so many lights have gone LED. Great channel, looking forward to watching more of your videos!
I'll head over to your channel and give that a watch, I'm super excited to see those images! Also I only cross processed my rolls because I've had bad luck of entirely blank rolls and my Lab Tech recommended doing a C-41 cross process because he had tried it out and had more success with expired slide film that way. Like my negatives came out super rich and filled with information so I've kinda sworn to only cross process all my old slide film.
Thank you so much! I was originally going to have these photos developed in E6, standard slide film chemicals. Slide film isn't the best for pushing or pulling, it prefers to stay at its box speed, even when expired. So I shot all of these at 64 iso. Only after dropping these rolls off at the lab did my lab tech suggest cross processing the film. I had complained about my lack luster results in the past, when shooting expired slide film, and he said he's had better results developing expired slide in C-41 chemicals.
I shot it at box speed, because originally I was going to have it developed with E6 chemistry. From what I've read and from what I've tried, pushing or pulling slide film has not created the best results, if any. Even more so when expired. Hopefully your photos come out looking great! As well, if your rolls are in a freezer they might be better off because my rolls came from an unknown storage type so it was gamble.
thanks! they're in the freezer now, but I bought them second hand so i don't know exactly how they where stored before either.. i recently shot some expired provia from 2007, overexposing one stop, and it came out great! @@northwestdepressed
