One of the rolls of film included in a box of photo gear I purchased a while back was an exposed roll of Kodak TMax 3200. Some more mystery film! This is a very fast film and generally meant to be used in low light situations. I developed it in Diafine. The negatives are super grainy and dense, but I managed to eke out some scanned photos from them. I spent a considerable amount of time cleaning up dust spots and scratches on the scans in Lightroom. There’s not much I can do about the grain. I ran a few of them through Topaz Photo AI and it produced less than desirable output even though I’ve had great results with Topaz in the past. And anyway, I kinda like the grain on these. Helps with the vintage vibe.

As usual with film like this, I have no idea who took the photos, when or where. But it’s fun to see this group of older folks enjoying each other’s company (and some good food) while attending whatever function it was. There are some kids in the background of at least one of the photos. Was it a family reunion? A church social? A cult meetup?
