Cross Processed Ektachrome
These pictures are part of a roll of film I shot for Expired Film Day. The film is Ektachrome 100 (EPN 120) that expired in 1991. I metered it for ISO50. I figured there was going to be significant colour shifts and so I had it cross processed in C41 chemistry. I was surprised to find only minor colour shifts. I think the next time I shoot this film, I will have it processed using E6 chemistry, as it was designed for.
This is the first time I have XPro’d a roll of film, and several things about it were unexpected, even though if I had thought about it, some might have been obvious. The biggest surprise was that the film came out as negatives and not the positives they would have been with E6 processing. How is it that I didn’t know that already?
The rest of the roll, with more gritty and colourful urban subjects, is posted as the 8th roll in my 2016 52Rolls project, Expired Film Day.
Macro on Film II
This macro shot did not work out as it was underexposed. It is a crystalline glaze on a tea-cup made by BC potter Gordon Hutchens (see this link for more of his pottery, including digital macro shots of his crystalline glazes).
For this shot I used a Canon Elan IIe body with Canon FD macro lens, extension tubes and reversal ring adapted for use on an EOS mount – it magnifies around X2 with that combination. You can see it set up on a bellows unit and a Canon Elan 7N body in this post – that one worked better because I used a DLSR body to get the exposure right.

Tripping VI
I took this photo after the guy with the cell phone (see yesterday’s post) was done chimping.
He was probably trying to catch the same thing I was.
There is a small geyser that erupts from a vent at the end of the drain when a wave hits just right.
I almost got it.

Tripping V
Yet another photograph from the first roll through a “new” Olympus Trip.
Lo and behold, it’s the storm drain and some guy was taking photos of it with his phone.
He seemed to spend more time checking results than making images.
