Bat Crazy - Missed Focus with a Kodak Instamatic 500 and Expired Film

 

The focusing on my camera is off! But I got great photos anyway!

Thank you Foto by Schröter in Riesa for developing 126-film (for €3.99)! 

I exposed the hell out of the expired film. I added 2-5 stops.


I scanned and edited the film at home.


The film in the 126 format cassettes are pre-exposed with borders and numbering. I have removed a 'feeler' peg from my camera so I can use unsprocketed film (Agfa ASP 400S) loaded in old cassettes. The camera doesn't know exactly where the frames are any more, since it doesn't detect the 126-spaced sprockets, so the borders end up in the wrong places, making the photos interesting... That's what's happened in these photos.

Celebrating 20 + Articles Elsewhere

  I have had a fun eight years burrowing deep into the world of film photography. Within a few weeks my 22nd contribution to 35mmc.com will be published. The website, which is run by a small group of people, publishes contributions from the global community of mostly film photographers. I have contributed sporadically with reviews and other articles on  photography related issues since May 2017. Almost as long as I have written about photography on this blog.   Disposable Cameras Canon QL17 Rangefinder Canon Demi half-frame Canon Lens Modding Olympus LE Camera Olympus Pen-F Yashica 50 mm Lens     Halina Lens Modding  4 Minolta Cameras Steinheil 50 mm Lens Instamatic Voigtländer Lens Modding Meikai Camera Ricoh Auto 35 Camera     Chaika Camera Modding Redscale Film   Hanimex 110 Camera  Canon 1980s Compacts Canon Prima Mini Camera Reviving Instamatic Cameras Focus-Free Digital Lens During this time I have also contributed a few art...
