Expired Days

After shooting mainly HP5 for well over two months, I decided to cash out and get some rolls of film from the various few months (and some going as far back as a year) and see what i'd captured.

From Behind the Scenes stills to my first roll of film I ever shot on my ME Super which I thought i'd lost, I was blown away by some of the images i'd produced. As i'd used several different stocks, the results were so varied and different, going from a moody looking Liverpool on Ektar 100 to a very vibrant and cream coloured Stoke on Trent on a warm Spring night.

The ones that shone through for me were the Kodacolor images. After hearing that this wasn't the best stock, I bought some expired 2002 Kodacolor and thought i'd shoot it. After getting the negatives back I was blown away by the colours within them,

Really rich and creamy grain followed by a warm look blew me away, but then I realised i'd also shot some in Liverpool when it was very dark and moody, and these results mimicked that aswell. I loved this. This seems to me like a stock that you can use wherever you are, it picks out colours so well and really stains these into your images, can't wait to pick some more up.

I today have completed my Design Futures module... One more module left at Uni... Scary.

After that, i'll be putting alot of time into film projects so watch this space,
