thelocomotives: Use before 1986

Use before 1986

My latest roll of 120 film had a label that said use before 1986. I was 15 in 86, and much more interested in other things than photography, so I figured I`d have to use it now instead.
Have had lots of trouble with my b/w developing lately. The fact that I love to experiment with old films and my lack of skill when it comes to measuring light to get a decent exposure - makes me frustrated and happy all the time. I get confused, forget what I did, and have to do things over again. But anyhow: I`m better than I was only one year ago...

I love this picture! The black and white grainy look really bring it together to make such a soft feeling. The only problem is that hazy white stripe in the middle.
The more you practice developing the better you'll get! You're doing great already.

I'm having trouble giving comments. Hopefully this one works.
Love this picture! The black and white grainy look give it a really nice comfortable feel. The only problem is that hazy white stripe in the middle. It's annoying. But other then that, it's a great pic! Keep on developing!

I agree about the white stripe...Will make a print and see what I can do...I`m having trouble posting, like you`re having trouble commenting...Looks like there is a kind of delay here...I don`t know.

I disagree with you two. I think the Hazy white stripe adds to the picture in a good way. Amazing shot.

Hey, cool! Thanks for the input. Some of my friends say they wouldn`t change it either...
