This past summer, I spent a couple of months working a seasonal retail job in Bar Harbor, Maine. This was my second stint at this job, and I was thrilled to be living close to the shore again, right on Main Street. Months prior, I had bought 3 rolls Portra 160VC film from eBay that had expired in 2005. I knew I was taking a risk with expired film, but I was semi-hopeful knowing that it was stored refrigerated. I overexposed the roll by two stops and shot it at 40 iso to account for the two decades passed its expiration date. I've never shot Portra 160VC, so I had no expectations.
