Wildboar Clough, a film and tripod day

Wildboar Clough, a film and tripod day
Fuji Velvia 50 in the camera on the tripod.
Film with an expiry date of August 2009 so it is probably at least 13 years old.
I promise to post at least one of the shots without editing it.

I found carrying and using the tripod quite hard work let's hope it was worth it.

Results…….

A few of the photos taken on this old film and scanned are this album

I look forward to seeing the results, I have a couple of Jessops SHR200 dated 2004 maybe I should try one

It would be an interesting experiment. All that advice about use before expiry and develop asap seems to be only for best possible results. My recently developed films included 4 and 7 years old film so this is another step and you can try 5 years older than this one :-)

If you are interested in old cameras and lens have you watched any of the YouTube videos Zenography

I treated myself some time ago to Monfroto Travel tripod (£49) In store when the legs are extended it seemed a bit flimsy, but soon as i mounted the camera it was rigid as it needs to be.
Certainly not good enough for studio work but for travel it is brilliant.

This is a Slik, very flexible but solid and heavy. I certainly wouldn’t buy it today, I would be looking for a lighter option like yours

Slowly getting back into photography mode and I have been thinking of getting my tripod out too. I always liked using a tripod as it slows the thought process down as does using film, I am also trying to switch to full manual mode which again slows me down. With auto this, auto that and mobiles the thought process seems to go out of the window.

I agree Trevor it makes me feel different. Nothing wrong with digital snaps but I do find the brain is not fully engaged with the decision making, I am inclined to either choose a fast shutter speed and click away or F8 and (at least) focus in the best place. I have one more old unused film and then the big test, do I buy more fresh film ?
