Ektachrome 64T with Alicia (Patreon)
Content
As promised, here is the rest of that roll of expired Kodak Ektachrome 64T taken with the Olympus XA with yet another Alicia.
Basically I just finished that roll here, it's ISO 64 in complete darkness lol, plus it was loaded in the Olympus XA, so of course these were long exposures on a tripod. The XA can only be set at asa 25-50-100-200-400-800 and it's 2.8, unfortunately I don't remember at what ISO I set this at, probably 50. I also had to consider how I rated the film in the first place, remember that this was the end of the roll.
The XA was metering for the tv, so there were a few missed exposure in there.
She really had to be very close to the side of the tv to simply appear in the photo. You may have noticed that I also removed the green digital clock from the selected shots, I felt it was a distraction in the overall composition.
Here's another shot that didn't make the cut back then:
I would probably remove the dangling wire on the right if I would decide to display this photo somewhere.
All in all, I think it was worth it only for that main shot you see up there in the post, one of my all time favourite photos I ever shot I think. Here's a gif of the scan vs my final edit:
(This gif can only be seen on a Desktop computer, not visible on mobile unfortunately, Patreon fix yo shit!)
Basically I just lifted it up a little with some extra fade, fixed the shadow on her face a little, removed that edge of the bed on the left and brought back some of that pink/magenta in her hair. Simple but effective.
This really makes me want to shoot more of that Tungsten slide film, I think I still have some left somewhere in that fridge, it's always a pleasant surprise (or not) when you see the results.
On the next set I will talk more about what is up with that weird shooting location and what the hell is in those compartments:
