This Tamarack is a deciduous conifer, shedding its needles every fall.

Tamarack means wood used for snowshoes, in the Algonquian subfamily of languages.

This picture was taken a few weeks ago and the tree is bright green now.

Expired Film Day

This post has the rest of my #ExpiredFilmDay roll of 25 year old cross processed Ektachrome 100

I am skipping over a backlog of film (27 rolls or so from 2016) waiting to be posted in order to celebrate Expired Film Day, which was yesterday. These shots are from a roll of Ektachrome 100 (EPN 120) that expired in 1991. The film is part of a batch that came with my Mamiya M645 Super when I bought it a year or so ago.

I metered it at ISO50, and had the film cross processed in C41 chemistry. The results are a bit unexpected as the colours are not shifted much, even when I do a neutral scan of the negatives. Another surprise was the low amount of grain as I thought that 25 years of sitting around would have made it more grainy. There is another roll of the 100, and several of Ektachrome 64 – next time I use it I must see how it comes out…
