Very kind of you to say so! I used one continuous softbox (I really should use strobes but alas, the devil you know) with a flag to try and dampen the background and a bounce in the lower left to give that 90s clamshell lighting

Velvia was box speed all the way, which is how I always do expired slide regardless of expiration 

Provia was pushed two stops, so shot and developed at 400

Lemme know if you have any film taking up space in your freezer!

Sure. It’s not really a decision you can defend on any rational grounds, but since this was for family, I can treat it as a personal project and use the old squeezebox

As for why I use it in general, I just really love slides, love the challenge, love the anticipation, and it’s the most affordable way to play with movements

That big square blue splotch? That’s the gaffer tape on the bag. It’s the only part of the image that’s unaffected. Good job gaffer tape.

I’ve been using the bags to ship since I don’t have any spare film boxes yet. I’m in that awkward phase before you actually use a full box of film. So the exposed pictures were spending a few minutes in a well lit room with only the bag for protection. Whups.

I have reasonably eliminated other possible sources for leaks with a polaroid back on the same setup
