Week #28 – Fujichrome Velvia 50

Fujifilm Fujichrome Velvia 50 (120 Medium Format, expired 2014)

I shot three films of Velvia 50, but two of them turned out way underexposed. I’m not sure if the built-in light meter had problems, or the shutter has problems at longer shutter times. Guess I have to keep an eye on future developments.

After testing some slide films, that still can be bought, I think I won’t buy more after this project. Film stock like Kodak Ektar 100 delivers amazing colors and at a fraction of the price of slide film and E-6 development.

Week #27 – Tudor XLX 200

Tudor XLX 200 (35mm)

Judged by the negative strip this seems to be some sort of Fujifilm stock. Taken during random walks in my hometown and a not so random walk during a family celebration.

Week #25 – Lomography X-Pro Slide 200

Lomography X-Pro Slide 200, Medium Format (120)

I’m slowly getting back into the rythm of weekly photo blog updates.
The undeveloped film stack is piling up (6 rolls of 35mm and 1 roll of medium format so far) and the “developed but not scanned” stack is piling down.

This weeks images are back from May, when it wasn’t as unbearable hot as it has been during the last couple of days (and weeks) – up to 37°C / 98.6°F – and I wished I would be a roll of film sitting in the fridge.

Quit curly negatives, need to be flattened for a couple of days at least, before scanning.

Are you already sick and tired of those mountains? No? Good. Because here are some more of them. This time in black and white, so at least there’s a bit of a visual change.
