Film shot in the 90s developed 20 years later

[sweat100]

I hope I am posting this in the correct section. Recently, I was given a camera bag which I found a roll of undeveloped film. It was Fuji Super HG II. This film should date back to 3 generations before Superia back in the 90s. The experience felt like holding a roll of film anticipating photos akin to Vivian Maier's. I went ahead with to develop it in C41 myself. To my surprise, there are still images from this film even though its was stored in room temperature conditions with high humidity in SG for a good 10-20 yrs. The film was slightly attacked by fungus with a slightly high base fog, however the colour couplers in the film still works!

This seemed like the ideal Singapore environment

A worker presumably from SMRT. Looking at the style, it feels like early 90s

A car plate with SBN! I dont see any Vicki in SG now. Look at the Mercedes in the background!

East coast park feels so original

This should be Bedok Jetty.

The children should be as old as me if not older than me by now!

This shows that film still stands up to the test of time. I guess if this roll of film is shot in black and white, it will likely turn out just as good as the day it was shot, perhaps with just a higher base fog. Looking forward, I can't say for certain if the images stored in the SD card can still be read 20 years from now. FAT structure, JPEG encoding and semiconductors in a memory card have too many weak links. Look... who has a smartmedia (SM) memory card and card reader now? Perhaps we should revive this time capsule trend which was very popular in the early 2000s. Throw in some exposed film and some images in a memory card. Haha...

Those were simple times. Really miss the old singapore. My friend had negatives of him taken back in '94 scanned recently. There was a slight yellow cast but hey, you can still print pictures from old negs.

Film even after developed can last a long time. I still have two big boxes of old negatives.

Guys, can help me find a thread I posted. B&W film in the fridge since early 2001. Developed recently.

It came out OK, and from that I FOUND BACK Edmund Tan.

This guy did not change too much.

Pishal's team was trying to do TIME CAPSULE in Malaysia. Why not we do it.

Maybe in a few years time, Marina Bay Sands become SENG SEONG!
