Forgotten Films ...
« on: April 19, 2011, 01:26:49 PM »
I found an exposed roll of HP5 in my camera bag this week and had no idea what was on it.  I developed it this morning and it turns out it was a holga film from my trip to the York Dales last summer. Have you had any similar nice surprises?

Those are beautiful landscapes Leon! My favorite is the water fall.

And no, never been so lucky as to find unexposed film, let alone unexposed film with such quality imagery.

First one (waterfall) looks like Hardraw Force, unless mistaken?

Lovely images.

I found two rolls of processed but unscanned film recently (1 x 35mm and 1 x 120). I'll be looking at them before the weekend. They date back a few years.

Very cool Leon... the 2nd and 3rd are very beautiful...

I had a similar situation last month, I knew I had a couple of films somewhere for years but didn't know what was on them. One o them was posted in here...http://www.filmwasters.com/forum/index.php?topic=3937.0

The other one was a 2005 exposed Ilford taken my then misaligned Lubitel (probably the reason why I didn't bother processing), which now has been fixed.

That must have felt good, Leon as these are beautiful.

For some odd reason Sean's tilework, had it been in color, would have fit in perfectly with Phil's ugly lamp and my ugly couch picture... maybe we should do a triptych  ;D

Francois - you have me totally flummoxed here. I have no clue what you are on about.

I think Francois means, Mauricio (Sapata), not Sean. Then it all makes sense.

Ed's right... sorry Mauricio, my brain went on the fritz for a few seconds there  :-[
