Oxford: Expired film

Written by Nasir Hamid on April 11th, 2012

These few images are a bit out of sequence. They’re from a roll I finished over a month ago but I’m not sure where the other shots are at the moment. To save time I’m posting them today ‘as is’. The funky look to the images is because the film was very old. I’m not sure when it expired but I bought it as part of a large batch of expired film so there’s more where this came from. The mottled look is I think from the paper backing being in contact with the film for a long time and the film not being stored in optimum cold/dry conditions. I could be wrong but that’s my best guess.

[Tech info:] Mamiya C330f camera loaded with Ilford Delta 3200 film. Processed in Ilford DD-X developer (1:4).

I saw this gentleman waiting with his bike on Broad Street. I was on my way back to my office at the end of my lunch break. I thought he had a cool moustache.

Another fellow film photographer. This was lit from a small window in the stairwell near the darkroom that we use.

The Covered Market. I've never seen so many butchers in one place.

    I actually really like the old texture on the film. I think I’ll have to try shooting on some long-expired film sometime….
