Street Photography with 60 Year Expired Film

[@InritusEtTaeter]

Hi, great video thank you ! I have one role of HP3 myself but in 135 and expired since 1965, do you think I shall expose it at 25 ISO or 12 ? or maybe even 50 ? I have no idea about how it was stored, I assume it was at room temperature...

I just shot 2 rolls of b&w film that expired 67 years ago. I shot it anywhere from 1 to 7 stops overexposed and all the shots came out quite well. When it comes to slide film, I don't buy into the idea that you have to really hit the exposure just right. I've been shooting Velvia in a pinhole camera and the images are all excellent despite very imprecise exposure times.

Very interesting! I was given a bunch of expired slide film, which I wasn’t too keen to use, but after your comment will go ahead and shoot them👍

Cool channel!
That “one stop for every decade” guideline is for color film. B&W film is much more stable. It’s why your results are so good with just one stop overexposure.
The other thing you could try next time is stand development which basically makes your B&W neg ISO-Invariant-like to a degree.

Thanks for that! That’s valuable info🙌

Apenas chocado que funcionou depois de 60 anos, os químicos seguraram muito bem!

Sim! Impressionante!
