Back Landing U/D

I did a roll of 250D to test my developer. I shot these on Eastman 5205 Vision 2 250D from 2004. Shot with Nikon EM and Series E 50mm f/1.8 lens.

 

I was using some very old C-41 that I had used as replenisher and had been sitting in a plastic bottle under some inert gas. I mistakenly assumed it was stock rather than working solution. So I developed these one shot at 1:9 30ml developer in 270ml water. I realized I was wrong and this was actual replenisher at near normal working solution strength. The age of the film had little to do with it and later rolls showed that the film was still very viable -- perhaps at lower ISO.

 

Negatives were VERY light and not all of the colors made the trip. Although I realized there is magic in digital scanning and post process. I was able to "salvage" these. The B&W version of the house is somewhat useable the other two are merely passable if that was all you had.

 

I reshot the set on 250D and developed it at closer to "working solution" one shot strength. These were useful test shots.
