Spooky mood.

The use of old and expired films are often very tricky. I often use films, which are expired for some years. Sometimes the films are expired for more than 10 years. Two times I used Orwo black&white films, which were expired for more than 27 years (a NP20 and a NP27).
This time I used once more an old black&white Orwo film, once more an Orwo NP20, but this time this film is expired for more than 40 years!!! More precisely, since January 1975!!!!!!

I used the Orwo in my Lubitel 166B and shot the ISO 80 film @ ISO 25. For the necessary light I used a Brillant E18B flash.

The pictures have a spooky mood...

Yes, you can recognize very little of the motive. Luckily I photographed the motive also with my Minolta Dynax 600si Classic and a Tokina SD 4.5-5.6/70-210mm AF lens. The film was a fresh AgfaPhoto APX 100 black&white.

The new palimpsests. The maps triptych.

Today I made more palimpsests on maps, because I liked the results last time. It´s now a triptych with maps from Madagascar, the Atlantic Ocean and the South of India with Sri Lanka.
The first and three photo are from my Woodman-Michals-tribute and the second photo is from the 2-Cameras-Double-Exposure-Project.

The 2-Cameras-Double-Exposure-Project. the outsiders. part 4+5.

Until now I just found color negative films in cameras, but finally I found an East German Orwo NP20 black&white film in my Lomo LC-A. I think the film is more about 27 years old, therefore I shot it @ ISO 25.
I used the Voigtländer VSL 1 (TM) with a Helios 44-2 2/58mm, a Porst Super Weitwinkel 2.8/28mm lens, a A.Schacht Ulm Edixa-Travenar 2.8/85mm and a Vivitar Auto Thyristor 283 flash.
But as in the other outsider parts there aren't double exposures, but really cool pictures with a wonderful and smooth vintage look of the old Orwo film.

You can find here some digital pictures of the session, which I shot with my smartphone.

I've shot the next film after the Voigtländer film. It was a Fuji Superia 200, which I've found in a Ricoh AF-50 from a fleamarket. I've used the film with my Minolta X-300s and the awesome Minolta MC Rokkor-PG 1.4/50mm lens. 
I think the film was very long unused in the camera, because the pictures are very dark, like in the outsiders. part 1. And once more there aren't double exposures on the film.
