Exposed film changes contrast more rapidly than unexposed. The
constantly-repeated advice "Process promptly" is worth paying attention to. David Foy "Michael Scarpitti" wrote in message om... David Nebenzahl wrote in message ... On 9/15/2003 10:50 AM Michael Scarpitti spake thus: Frank Pittel wrote in message In my never humble opinion I think that once the film is exposed it sits and ages better then unexposed film. This is false. Exposure is a chemical change. Once film is exposed, it become less stable. Exposure is part of what development finishes. I've had a lot of problems with funky color shifts when shooting outdated film but little problems with film that was exposed and then allowed to sit. Precisely the opposite is true. I've seen customers' rolls of color film with two Christmases on them. On the older images colour shift and deterioration was noticeable, and on the recent one, little or none. So you're essentially saying he's insane, right? Your assertion is that he couldn't possibly have experienced what he says he experienced. It's one thing to make assertions about what is true and possible and what is not; quite another to claim that what somebody says they witnessed is impossible. It's simple. Exposure causes a chemical change. Sitting around does too, but it's slower. There will always be more change in a latent image over a long time than there is in unexposed film over the same period. Always. Ask any film mfr. |
