The Expired Film Archive // Kodak Portra 400VC in the cherry blossoms

What better time to break out the vivid color than for some cherry blossoms at the Salt Lake Capitol.
This roll expired in 2011 and I shot it at 100 ISO and the results came back so much better than I expected. The bad part is I only had one roll :( :(
Camera: Mamiya 645 Pro
Film: Kodak Portra 400VC
All of this was shot on an iPhone 11
Also my process for scanning and editing 120 film is:
1. Scan with Epson V550 (using epson scan)
2. Convert with Negative Lab Pro
3. Touch up/color adjustments in Negative Lab Pro
4. Export as JPG from Negative Lab Pro
5. Edit JPG in Lightroom
Eventually I will make a video about my process but since there was a slide in there showing the before and after I thought it would be helpful to break it down in the video description.

Thanks so much! I was super stoked that the roll worked out and the vibrant skies were one of my favorite parts! I’m hoping to get my hands on some more rolls since that was my only one :( but the limited supply of expired film is the worst part 😭😭😭

Great shots! Mine doesn’t have the strap neither so I’m using a BlackRapid strap with their fastener.

[@gusdstevens]

oooh okay thanks! I'll have to check that because it is a little annoying to carry it like a little baby all day long
