Fine texture
I got this roll of probably late 90s expired gold 800 at blue moon and sat on it for a while. I threw it in the camera and went wandering around, shooting whatever, and then developed it myself1. I shot it mostly at 200, but the negs after development were just barely there. Like, hardly differentiated from the stock. Kinda thought it was a lost cause, so they've been just sitting for a little bit.
I'm still trying to figure out color editing, but I just had the scanner set up for another roll and figured I'd give these a try, see if I can get anything out of them. And uh. Well.
I think they could have used more exposure - maybe 100, maybe 50 - but actually the colors are surprisingly good. I only had to do a bit of tuning in (prerelease) RawTherapee's film negative tool.
Kind of surprised there's so much damage to the emulsion, but it's not so bad. The weird edge-lighting, I'm not sure what that's about. Maybe the light splashed around in scanning? The film was so... dry and thin and unruly when I was loading it, and its pretty cupped still.
