I bought a batch of expired Seagull Color 100 film, expired in 1989, and tested it for the first time. I set the ISO to 25, to see. the colors are quite psychedelic, and the whole thing remains too dark. I think that at ISO 12 the results will be better next time. In the meantime I had to brighten the images in Gimp, otherwise we wouldn't have seen much on them. Anyway, I like the pointillist painting aspect, with the white dots and dark spots...

I love the surprises of expired films - great results!

This one I like best! I was thinking George Seurat

@yokosima @rolfmg @msiegel thank you ! 👍
Seurat? well, I was thinking about a painting of Magritte, "Empire of light", where you have a bright blue sky upon a night urban scene...

@mackiechartres René Magritte! I thought the clouds in the sky were impressive!👍
msiegel · 2024-05-28 16:44
@mackiechartres Yes, Empire of Light for the mood. But I felt some of the pointilist vibes of "Un dimanche après-midi sur l'île de la Grande Jatte", too.

@yokosima @msiegel LOL, Seurat, Magritte... I just have to learn to imitate their signatures, and then I can sell the pics at Sotheby's 🤣

@mackiechartres Ah! Neo-impressionist dots...! This series of works will go down in history!
