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:

Thanks for reading !

That shot next to the TV really looks like a computer generated 3D image. It is like we popped into the uncanny valley, but got travelled there from reality.
