land of the red sun - Cinestill 400d (pulled one stop)

I wouldn’t recommend accidentally pulling Cinestill 400d, unless you really like the halation effect (that kind of glowing red halo around the lights - see it strongly in ‘halo’ with the church lights). It seems to also wash the entire image in a red cast; not something I’d like to spend the hours needed to correct. I’ve been switching between different cameras and setups lately, that I think I forgot to reset this roll (I will hardly ever pull film), also was messing around with in-camera double exposing (see ‘start of day’, ‘essentially’), but it was interesting to see despite the unintended results. Pulling not only exaggerated the red casting, but also seemed to splash some red light leak-looking things (see ‘lightest part’ and ‘homilies’) onto the image. Fingers crossed its the film and not a camera problem.
panorama camera - Expired roll

I found an old point and shoot panorama camera in my things. It’s not a true panorama, but rather a 35mm point and shoot that blacks out the frame to give that panorama letterbox look. I didn’t even know I still had the camera, let alone that there was film on it. Expired film, plastic camera, light leaks, sitting in a box for years. Perfect, let’s develop it.
So here’s a roll of expired Fujifilm 200, probably from around Covid time from what I can see. Images were left untreated and at original crop, because there is no coming back for these.
There’s no lesson to take from this as it is a miracle anything came out of this roll, and though not the greatest, some nice memories of friends from a forgotten time.
