About the photo and the film:

This photos was shot on Kodak Vericolor Type L that expired in 1976! I was unsure if this roll would produce anything at all. I shot this on Saturday 16th March on Ash Island, a small island that is close to my house in Newcastle. I shot this film 4 stops over, this film has a old rating system that varies depending on the light and the speed it is shot at. I shot it in the day so that means it was originally a 80asa if shot at 1/50 but at 60sec (the speed I shot it at) it had an asa of 25. This means I had to meter at 1asa… It’s also a long exposure film so it has so be shot between 1/50 to 60sec. I used an old Mamiya 6 to shoot this one and specifically went to Ash Island to shoot this roll. It was normally processed in C41.
