Blurry people at the Tampere railway station 


Technically garbage (just wanted to finish the roll in order to load one of the two Kodachrome rolls I gambled on [want to try it while on can]) with handshake/walking blur and all, odd that the world chose to tilt a bit for that frame ;)

The (possibly) interesting bit is that this is "cross processed"; shot on a 10+ year old Kodak Supra 400 negative colour film (C-41) developed in Rodinal (1+50, 14min at 24°C). It yields very very dense negatives (must be viewed against a window or a lamp to see anything, the histogram shows everything compressed into 20% at the highlights corner). Still, can be scanned. Some shot are even more crappy, they look like late 1980's/early 1990's bitmaps and thus quite limited. Fog & grain is aplenty (the roll has been kept in room temperature plus cosmic radiation that doesn't help).


Did this test to see if it is doable at all, have a roll of Agfa HDC at my parents house that I shot in the late 1990's or early 2000's that I want to have a go at.

The jagged top comes from photoshops paint bucket, was a bit lazy.

The jagged edge suits the photo, and groups of people are pretty interesting and you've got some balance in the shot too. Anyway, I'm fond of happy accidents.

Thanks for the attention folks :) So "bad it's good" perhaps? :P

Experimenting was fun, will try another roll in Kodak D76 or Ilford ID-11 and see if it's any better for this. At any rate, my objective will be to try fishing for some detail in the forgotten roll shot some 10-15 years ago. The developer came out dark yellow when poured out (fitting that it went down the WC) and the fixer was pink... Didn't want to re-use it ;)
