I think my #C41 chems are shot. Been in accordion bottles for 2 months or so, and I was worried at how dark the developer was. Ended up getting 10 rolls out of it, although it’s been a month or so since the last one so I guess I’m not surprised. This was my first attempt at long exposures - most of these were 3-5 seconds. I’d say they’re underexposed if it weren’t for the brown developer and the fact I can barely see numbers in the border.

#C41 #FilmPhotography #AnalogPhotography #BelieveInFilm Well, maybe not - first scan just came through and I reversed it (need to take out dust specks, etc.) and it's...not bad. Actually pretty much the exposure I was looking for when I took these.
Still have the stupid purple line my scanner makes - I've cleaned it over and over again. Definitely saving up for an #Easy120.

'Hanging On'
A beautiful, large ancient oak tree with some remnants of autumn colour on a cold, frosty winter's morning. I've got many images of this tree, but I hope one day to have a set of nearly identical images through the different seasons.
