Redscale Experiment on Kodak ti2420

[farlymac]

I'd been thinking of getting some of the Hawkeye Surveilance film for a cheap alternative, and a friend of mine sent me some he had rolled up as redscale. I like it. What do you think?

I like them very much - it's adding some mood to the photos. This type of colour cast reminds me of the sky before small/big cyclone. "Coming Over The Ridge" is my favourite. 🙂

Just out of curiousity (and being a complete novice on films), is there any reason not to put the film in it usual way in the camera chamber? Or was it purely for experiments? Thanks for sharing, farlymac.

Bests,

I find the first one a little too red (I realise redness is the point), but the rest of them have lovely colour to my eye, the second and third are particularly nice.

I think that, some time ago, someone was loading their own cassettes, and accidentally got it backwards. So not wanting to seem like a fool, they probably passed it off as art.

I wanted to do it because of another film I was using that has some bad color shifts to it due to age. But it's pretty slow stuff, and this friend of mine sent me the ti2420 because he had just purchased a hundred footer of it. It can be done with any 400 speed color film, but needs to be shot at 25 (four stops) because you are exposing through the halation layer.

Yeah, that first one is at ISO 50, so it's a bit dark. You saw the one on Flickr at 100? Now that is red. The rest were exposed at 25. Some of the shots came out looking like desert southwest scrub.
