126 – The Foreign Country

Expired 126 film (1982), Kodak Instamatic 133X. Previous shots with this film here and here.

1982 blast

So, after shooting expired 126 film from the FPP Store and getting really dark pictures, I decided to try my luck on extremely sunny days. The results aren't a whole lot better. Especially shot number 3 turned out quite dark. Trust me, it's a nice shot if you take the time to decipher what it is you're looking at...

Anyway, I have a few more cassettes where these came from, so I'm sure I'll try again.

Expiration Date: 1982

Kodak Instamatic 133X with colour 126 film I got through the FPP Store (image below taken from that site). This film expired in 1982. The shots were taken on cloudy days. I guess that wasn't a very good idea.

Yet another Instamatic / 126 post. When I bought this camera, there was still a cassette inside with some 7 shots exposed. I processed the film in regular Tetenal Colortec C-41 homebrew. Only one of those turned out OK, colourwise that is; the scene itself is not very inspiring. The remaining shots have a significant colour shift. Who needs Lomochrome Purple? (Ignore that, Purple is still on my wish list.)

Shots 1, 2 and 3 taken in Sint Antonis, Stampt and Overasselt, Netherlands, August 2016. As for number 4, there is no way of telling when, where or why this was taken.
