Expired Film Can Be Cool Too #photography

 

So..... a few weeks ago, I found a roll of exposed film that I had forgotten about. Thing is this film was shot something like 20 to 21 years ago.  Haha! 😅 So by the time I got it processed, the colour dyes have already faded and I got some really funky colours.

I did some cleanup and "developed" it in Photoshop.  After which I made a Black and White version which I feel actually looks quite cool.  There's a lot of grain which is not always desirable but it this case, the grain actually helps to make it look quite romantic and mysterious. 

I'm honestly not sure what film I used.  I'm guessing it's a Kodak film of some sort.  After I got the roll of film back from the lab, the edge code was no longer even visible. I'm also not sure where this roll of film was shot.  I'm guessing that it's on the road trip I made along the California coastline on Highway 1.

There is another shot on the roll which looks like the Bixby Bridge.  I'll work on that shot on another day.

If you wanna check out my other shots on Instagam, you are welcome to.  And I welcome comments and critiques either in the comments section or on IG. 🙂
