I am really bummed that the rest of the photos turned out way too dark! Even photoshop couldn’t save them. I had a couple more shots that I remembered were great, hahaha, would have been great. The girls and the greens around us made photo-taking so much more fun, SE-RIOUS! Anyway I should have known better than to risk it all on expired film. I had to do some severe reducing of noise and despeckling. My eyeballs are about to pop out now so g’night my friends.

    Hey Yana, I’m not entirely sure how long it’s been expired cos it came without the box. I got it off 8storeytree.com. I used Elitechrome Tungsten 160T!

    I sure know how it feels when only half of the photos are good… frustrating!!! You just got to learn to tame that new toy of yours :)

    Rae: ohohoh melly kena scold. but if you watch Freaks & Geeks, you’ll understand why, it’s so funny!

    Adeline: Yeah I really need to remember what film I put inside! I should write it on a piece of tape and tape it on the back of my cameras. I forget the film speed and everything, gah!

    This looks like fun. I really want to start shooting with film again. I’ve been really enjoying my digital camera, but film produces the most interesting results.
