This film was frozen for more than 10 years. It's a Kodak EPY 50, not the 64 "newer" version, shot under normal light and developed cross processed, in C41 instead of E6. I overexposed by one stop and cross processing also cared for saturated colors and increased contrast. Also, time took an important part here, producing an amazing grain which, unfortunatelly, is not visible here in its beauty. Shot handheld at slow speed - 1/15 I believe, wide open. So, you can see it's shaken, but not stirred. I love the atmosphere, mood, created by the colors.
It was shot at a lovely little bistrô near my work, named "Les Délices de Maya". Food is fantastic there.
I agree with you. The freezers on the back, although defocused, don't contribute very much to a moody atmosphere... and the table is really cluttered with not very inspirational subjects - Coke cans... But it was actually more about the experimentation than mood itself. Really a test I wanted to share with others. I like to experiment. Now, with the results and possibilities on my mind I'll certainly return there for moody images someday.
I believe Au Délices 1 ( http://www.usefilm.com/image/1445299.html ) has a higher mood rate.
Thanks for the comment and critique, they're always welcome.
It's a bit of a cluttered image, something simpler may have captured the bistro feel better. But I like the colours you've gotten from the old film and I admire your experimentation. Regards, Gary
