On a rainy day, I headed to Leicester to meet a friend and to join an Analogue Wonderland and Harman walk. There was no mention that we would receive a roll of redscale film, but I hoped. True enough, there was a Harman rep with some rolls for us. As it was very rainy and dark, I don’t think anyone shot it that day. I saved mine for wandering around Wakefield and Bradford on much sunnier days.
I loaded it into my Olympus Mju Panorama and got to shooting.
I think redscale is a bit of a Marmite film. I happen to be on the side of liking it. I really like this film, but it does need a time and place. It is not an everyday shooting film. I love some of the results I got, the street art and the war memorial photos are my favourite from this batch.
I shot mine at the box speed as the camera is DX coded. I think I was right to wait, as it does seem to need lots of light. That being said, the shots of the street art and the telephone pole were taken in darker conditions, and that affected the colour shift interestingly.
And there you go, three posts in one day…though not the most detailed.
“marmite film”
I love this – an absolutely perfect descriptor for an ‘acquired taste.’ Well-said you!
Well, I do love marmiteso have to get it in there somewhere.
I’ve got a redscale effect on an ancient app on my ancient phone. It’s an interesting effect, useful in certain conditions. (I don’t think I would use it for shooting a wedding! š³)
I have wondered if a “redscale filter” could be made from an unexposed piece of 120 color film, although not enough to try it!
Maybe, I might try it on a couple of shots next time I shoot colour. I have a cokin gel holder so I have a way.
We’ll be waiting with worms on our tongue! (“baited breath”) š¤£
Have a good weekend!
Ha, brilliant.
