Underexposed

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. 

Development Notes:
C-41 Development using Unicolor Kit

Week 11e – Mr and Mrs Jones (Part 2) – Kodak 400 TX (+2 Stops)

I couldn't visit the land of Kodak without shooting a roll. I actually picked it up in the gift shop of the Eastman house (from a few updates ago). I haven't actively shot TX or Tmax since college, and I remember it not being a very pleasant experience then. 

Short of some development issues (which were totally my fault, see the dev notes below) I thought things came out pretty well. I loved being a fly on the wall for the after-after party. 

Development Notes:
Rodinal 1:100 Dilution
120 Minute Semi Stand Dev
4 inversion every 30 minutes
Very Thin Negatives. I'm pretty sure its because I used the leftover batch of developer from doing the previous 2 rolls. Probably didn't have enough developer. However everything seemed to be scanned correctly.
