shoot it with digital man.. . I dont understand why you shoot these with your expired film. I feel like you didnt accomplish anything but getting low quality scan of a photo.

Technically correct but just that. The pictures lack brilliance, maybe the last one is a bit more dramatic. They are very gray, seldom reaching pure black and good white. That might be a fault of the old film and dev combination and resulting from it fog (just a guess). The sun was also not in the best position. Maybe with this old films you have there you should add a bit of an extra restrainer to the developer ? I heard, that the last version of Rodinal has some restrainer, but that calculated for fresh films and not for material which will fog due to deterioration.

Good job its my last old film

What's so hard to understand ? Are you an enthusiast of anything beside your work ?

I rather shoot the film to capture people in it and give you a vintage look. Shooting landscape like this doesnt do anything to me. I rather shoot it with my iphone.

When I was in college, I used 35mm "Movie" film used to film documentary work during the Korean War. This was in 1965-66 and the film worked just fine. What I see more often as a problem is outdated paper, but that is also an easy fix.

The additives you would be interested in are bromide and carbonate. Potassium Bromide will clear the whites. (reduce fog). Sodium carbonate will set the blacks. Use either or both. Expect increased exposure times. Mix both to 10% solutions. To a working tray of print developer, mq type (Dektol), say 3 liters total, add a couple of tablespoons of additive. Adjust as you print. Additional bromide used to be common. It was packaged under the title, BB solution. For further help, refer to 'Lootens On Photographic Enlarging and Print Control.' With old paper, the bromide may be enough. A big advantage of working like this is the fact that old paper is aged, and very stable, whereas fresh paper is green and not mature.
