Are you kidding me? Putting film in oak casks for 7 years to 'perfectly' age it? Considering Age is usually bad for film unless it is stored properly; Read More Here about
Lomo's Aged Film Project. As my husband said, it just seems silly. And since I'm not a fan of cross processing, I'm not looking for a hybrid effect, which is what they are promoting. But to each his own.
So here is my 'aged' image for you. I 'found' a roll of film that I had exposed last summer, but never developed. That's my idea of 'aging':
Had been photographing the garden and then forgot about it.
I doubt the oak casks had any affect on the film other than what any wood would do; keep humidity under control. Storing the film in a constant cool temperature and low humidity will preserve any film well past its date on the box, especially B & W. I still have some old freezer stored Vericolor-II I shoot at times, and I get results just like it was fresh. I have Kodacolor frozen also. Know anyone who cam process it?
ReplyDeleteKodacolor or Kodachrome? Kodacolor is C-41 and there are lots of place still doing that. I can Recommend "Old School Photo Labs". They give a discount for multiple rolls sent in at once. Search them online. Also heard of another Place called 'The Darkroom". I'll write an article on Processing Labs that I trust soon.
ReplyDeleteoops. Kodachrome. I used to send Kodachrome to a lab in Boston. They closed about 2007. The local pro-lab still does E-6.
