Thank you so much for watching this video, had a lot of fun testing out this idea!

[@fustigate314159]

This is one of the better and clearer explanations about rules of thumb for compensating on expired film!

[@StepsAndStoness]

🙏🙏

[@patrickrostker6693]

Awesome find, you have a cool mom. Also i like the look , kinda sunset vintage but for midday. Would love to see long exposures of course. I anticipate more expired film eps on such a fun set of films. Great stuff, your out there sweatin it out for our entertainment and I greatly appreciate that! I pick up an expired roll from time to time., so your inspiring me, cheers 🎉

[@miggy4262]

New fav channel great stuff you are doing man! Reason why I picked up a F2!

[@StepsAndStoness]

That camera will outlive me!

Glad to have ya!

[@67ratsrule]

Love this video. I will be following you now.

[@ThatXpanEnthusiast]

Loved the colors and the vid, subbed for more!

[@StepsAndStoness]

Happy to have you here!

[@sprucemoose3000]

Bro. Take those other rolls to a cemetery or something middle of the day. Cool vid. I’m shooting expired stuff.

[@merlinmendoza5177]

I still got a 2 decade expired Fuji Superia and its shooting crispy

[@StepsAndStoness]

Heck yeah!

[@willowrabbit]

What settings are you using? I got a bunch

[@lucasthedukus]

I’ve been on an expired film kick the last month! This video is hittin for me rn

[@StepsAndStoness]

Love it!!

[@VariTimo]

What does it say on the edge code on the film?

[@StepsAndStoness]

After shooting this video I loaded another into mt EOS system and it does read as an 800iso. Strange that the DX code and label dont line up!

[@VariTimo]

@@StepsAndStoness Could be different reasons, I mean the edge code on the negatives, above the images. Especially if there is anything before the film speed. If it say GT 800 it’s Ultramax 800. But if it has a different name it might be another emulsion. If it starts with G it’s something that originates from Gold waaay back.

[@StepsAndStoness]

@@VariTimo It's blank on the negs. No data

[@VariTimo]

@@StepsAndStoness That’s extremely weird for a Kodak stock. They usually have markings at least for quality control.

[@henryIRL]

Cool video! That location looks awesome. Question… When I’m shooting expired film, I’m pushing the ISO one or two stops. So I’m increasing the ISO from the box speed (i.e. 400ISO pushed one stop to 800ISO). So I’m going up in ISO, I’m noticing you’re bringing the ISO down, why is that?

[@StepsAndStoness]

Since these films are deteriorating, they're becoming less sensitive to light as they age. Adding more light gives us a better chance at capturing a solid image!

[@henryIRL]

@@StepsAndStoness indeed. Isn’t lowing our ISO closer to 100 taking away light? While increasing ISO closer to let’s say 1600 adding more light? Or have I got that wrong this whole time?!

[@StepsAndStoness]

@@henryIRL We're lying to the camera in saying its a lower ISO film. Our meter will compensate for that and expose more light to this "higher" rated film. Pushing and pulling is usually also affected in development, but here we are exposing as if the film was always that speed.

[@diannerobbins3498]

This always confuses me. It would be nice if you could do a video to explain 😃

[@StepsAndStoness]

​@@diannerobbins3498 Might try to work it into the rollout I have planned. But for now let me give you a quick answer to hopefully help out! Sunny 16 is a great way to get familiar with these exposure practices. 1. Lower ISO films (50-200 iso) are less sensitive to light, and require more light for their exposure between the fstop and shutter speed. Usually used during harsh sunny days. 2. Higher ISO films (400-800iso) need less light, which is why these speeds are used for lower light conditions. You can shoot films at any speeds, you just may have to adjust your dev times, which is usually more common with B&W not so much color depending on your lab. When you push a film from its native speed to a higher number ISO you are lying to the camera and saying your film is more sensitive to light, which changes your exposure settings, but allows you to be flexible with the conditions you're in. I am always pushing HP5, a 400iso film, to 1600. But that change isn't fully realized until you develop the film. Changing the development time to longer, to bring out your images. In this video I didn't want the lab to change their dev times, so I lied to the camera and light meter so the film had "less sensitivity to light" to compensate for the age of the film, pulling it down to 200iso. And looking back at these shots, with this film in particular, I could have gone with an ever lower iso (160-125iso). Hope this helps!

[@DayneFilm]

it's like a lil expired treat 😋

[@StepsAndStoness]

We like treats🙏

[@photography_jsk]

Is expired film even cheaper anymore?

[@StepsAndStoness]

This was free lmao But I see a lot of local shops that sell expired for very cheap.

[@robine5280]

Not online

[@StepsAndStoness]

@@robine5280 This is true, Etsy shops and ebay are not the place for this stuff rn

[@raulcstetson]

Hey! I love the channel, if you're into expired film. I have a TON of 120/220 stuff you've probably never used before. I'd be down to send a handful over and would be dope to see some videos on them! I would have for them to be lost to time! Let me know. I have vericolor iii, Pro 400MC, ton of variations of potra and such! Would love to suport the channel 🙏

[@StepsAndStoness]

Dude that's incredibly generous! Shoot me a DM on Instagram when you got the chance!
