I’m just being dramatic.

I know that I am.

I could have titled this “Charlotte faces challenges scanning a re-spooled oddball specialty film that third-parties like selling to make colour films available at lower price points” or something. But my gosh, is scanning Kodak Aerocolor sometimes an exercise in frustration.

Going forward, I think I’d like to underexpose it by a nose, say, meter it at 125 instead of the 100 it is supposed to be. That could help with some to the too-bright-for-my-tastes scenes and occasional runaway highlights.

Of course, it is aerial surveillance film, so I understand that some aspects I might not be entirely fond of are inherent to the film and crucial to it being fit-for-purpose.

It’s also not really less expensive any longer than the consumer-grade colour films I know and love already, so perhaps now that I am out, it’s time to let it go.
