Just a quick question about the film.
I bought some 15 rolls of 35mm for discounted price as was due to expire (october 2009) and only recently started shooting it but am not liking the results so far. What i get are dull photos with no snap to them.
What I was wandering is then what could be the problem. As I don't think it's the films' age (they've been stored n the fridge for a while, and in a dry pretty cold closet afterwards) I am imagining is the low contrast nature of it, which would probably make it more suitable for studio situations for istance, when you have more control on the lights and shadows.
That said, mosto of the photos i took were taken under the rather overcast skies of wintery England, which I'm sure doesn't help.
What's you take on it? Have any experience with the film? I'm trying to experiment with different films and try to spot those i like the most, so I guess a bit of discussion of this nature could be useful for me (and other members) to learn to know your films and spot their qualities/best use.
