Expired ILFORD HP5 Plus Film : Sunday Morning in Arnold

Another shot with a 35mm black and white film that expired in 2008.

Another shot with a 35mm black and white film .

The detail of which are as follows:

Film: ILFORD HP5 Plus , ISO 400 (expired August 2008)
Camera : Olympus OM20
Lens : Olympus Zuiko 50mm f1.8
Film Developed by: riverandcoast.co.uk

Negative Processing : Placed on my £20 lightpad and photographed with my Sony A6000 camera and Industar N61 53mm (with an extension tube to make it a macro lens). Image then post processed in GIMP, converting negative to positive.

The image is lovely and sharp but wow look at that film grain from the expired film !

The image was shot on a Sunday Morning earlier this year. There's some contre jour light and the lampposts still have Christmas decorations on them.

Grainy and full of character.

Is the image current or also from 2008? It has an otherworldly look to it.

@allie912 the image is from January 2021 allison, the chemicals in the film must have started deteriorating . our library is in the shot. My wife tells me Arnold used to have a beautiful old library, but is was demolished and replaced with a rather mundade 1970's building

Lovely shot and scene. I guess that Claire is driving the car towards your position. I love the antique feel of the image.

[Judith Greenwood]

Looks like a 1970’s newspaper article other than the car which should be a Ford Cortina.

[Judith Johnson]

I'm not sure I can see your daughter Claire! Is she in the car? It certainly looks very 70's with the grainy texture

@sangwann @busylady
Judith , Dione it is a random car , the bit about Claire was an error in my copy and paste from the previous shot . I have removed the incorrect text 📷

@judithg ford cortina , now you are talking or maybe a Capri . My first car ...1979 ... Was an escort MK1 .... Then an escort MKII
