easter trip to säffle, sweden
In the Easter week of 2019, my girlfriend and I decided to take a trip to an apartment my family owns in Säffle, Sweden as she hadn’t been there before. After finishing my three rolls of film I was eager to find more. I went searching in all the camera stores on our way to Sweden but was in no luck and my last bet was an old camera store in Säffle itself. At first try, there were out of stock due to its recent popularity. He only had expired film left, one from 1998 and one from 2007. So I started my walk back to the apartment when I realized that expired film is better than no film. I sprinted back to ask the staff I could buy the expired ones, but he didn’t want to sell me them. He only wanted to give them to me because he didn’t know if it would work, but I decided to try anyway and it came out amazing!
Kodak Color Plus 200 Expired 2007
The store staff gave me an old Kodak Color Plus ISO 200 expired back in 2007. After only shooting only expired film and only finding expired film, no wonder I thought there was no new film to be found. The Kodak Color Plus is a very affordable film, think about 5 dollars or 50 NOK per roll. Around half the cost of Kodak Portra 400 witch is the one most people use nowadays. I like the colors that came from this film. I need to pick up some more of the film later to see if it holds up or if it was because of the expired date.
Here are the pictures from Säffle and our return home. On the way home, I dropped my girlfriend off in Hamar, Norway for her last days of school there.
I LOVE THE GRAIN IN THESE PHOTOS! LOOKS PERFECT! :)
