A colleague vey kindly donated me some 35mm rolls of expired Fuji Velvia 50 transparency film amongst a bundle of various other kinds of film for me to use. The rationale was that it was better to use them than leave them sitting in the freezer. Fuji had stopped producing Velvia 50 in the 1st decade of the 21st century, so the film is quite old.
I played around or experimented with one roll once I realised that the E6 process was still available in Adelaide.( But for how long I wondered). I noted in the earlier post that my images didn't pop with intense color and vibrance. Many were just flat and dull. However, the occasional one turned out to be quite interesting, such as this one:
The processed film's magenta cast works with these coastal rocks near Petrel Cove, as they occasionally have an orange tint in certain kinds of lighting situations. It did take me a while though to come to terms with the odd /strange/quality, as the "unrealness" wasn't what I'd expected from habitually using a digital camera.
