Kodak Max 800

Week 22b – The Imperial Opa – Kodak Max 800 (TERRIBLY EXPIRED)

If it weren't for about 3 images on this roll, it'd be safe to say that I could consider it a failure. But sometimes this happens with expired film, and based on the other uses of this same batch I should have expected that it wouldn't turn out the way I wanted. 

Short of throwing the rest of it out (maybe a roll or two) any ideas how to make the most out of it? Since everything was so terribly underexposed I'm assuming I should shoot it as a lower speed film? 

If you want to see much better photos from this week, please be sure to check out the gallery of digital shots taken at the same time on my extra blog.

Week 8a – Never Look Gift Film in the Mouth – Kodak Max 800 (expired) (-1 stop)

So by the time you read this, hopefully I'll be feeling much better. This last week the plague going around Atlanta knocked me on my ass. However as I write this I am feeling mostly better, so that's a plus. 

I have to also make a few short shout outs too for this week. Firstly to Vivi from Vivifyphotography. She donated the rolls of film I shot with this week, as well as the Kodak BW400CN stock from Week 6b (and Next week's entry as well). 

Second I want to thank my model Morgan who found me via Instagram. She saw some of the work I did for the self censorship project, and immediately wanted to be on board. Over the next 2 weeks I will be posting not only that entry, but some other photos that we took that I just can't bring myself to "deface" for the project. 

Granted all of this film was probably horrendously expired, but I still don't think I "get" shooting color stocks yet. I'm not sure if its my post process, or my choice in film. But it never seems to look the way I want it to. Any tips on shooting and post production would be much appreciated!
