Last week, I was making my way to the car from the supermarket in a sudden rainstorm when I saw how the new pavement was catching the water. I had my Balda CE35 (with 2004-expired Fuji film) so I took a picture. The only colour was the lines, which had just been painted, but I converted the picture to b&w in Paint Shop Pro.

Ah! Since it was brought up. . . . On that same roll of expired-in-April-1989 Kodak VR-G 200 film, I have these three shots (numbers 2 - 4 on the roll). The first shot on the roll was cut in half by light exposure in the lab; it sits to the left of these but actually represents a bit of a fourth that could have been at the right. I didn't move it into the picture since these three are really adjacent to one another on the film. This ancient VR-G film doesn't hold its colours very well but what's left can be transformed into a reasonable b&w image. This is just the red channel. Very grainy. Poor resolution. But fun. Shot in the Instamatic 500 which allows me to overexpose easily. This was shot at about ISO 50.
