Fujifilm X-Trans 4 film simulation for an Expired Film look with Bleach Bypass
Expired Film 66
Let’s shoot images on that film you found in a bargain store. It expired years ago, and the colours will be washed out and tinted. It’s a crazy effect, but a fun aesthetic for sunny days and a faded retro mood.
I’ve always found the unexpected results from expired film quite appealing. Tones tend to fade and images have a colour cast, either green, pink or purple. Sometimes there are light leaks and other blemishes, which all add to the character.
Although it will be something of a novelty, I wanted to make an expired film recipe to see just how crazy a straight-out-of-camera image can be. So here we have it, based on Eterna Bleach Bypass for washed out colours with a pink purple expired film tint.
