I exposed the back while he exposed the front ...
« on: March 23, 2008, 02:11:30 PM »
... no ... don't get me wrong  :-X It was a roll of redscale film I made, and after exposing the wrong side of the film, I collaborated with a friend who then loaded the film normally and exposed the 'front' of the roll ... here are the mad results ...

Fantastic results! And a brilliant way of salvaging a potential disaster.

Thank you, everyone. Glad you like these. It's my 2nd attempt at redscale and glad it turned out fine. I was dead worried before collecting the roll from the lab  :-\

I would have been worried more about just bringing it in!
The thing must have given the girls at the lab a heart attack when they saw the results :)

I know last time I tried some stunt like that, the operator thought the machine was broken!
And it wasn't even as scary as redscale!

Heart attacks at the photo lab brings to mind the time I picked up pictures that turned out to be photos of a dead guy at a crime scene.  I insisted they weren't mine, they insisted they were, so I took them to the police before they turned my name into the FBI or something.  I am afraid to go back to that lab. :o

And ndroo, those pictures are very cool ... I really like them.   I just got a bit distracted for a minute.

Hope you did get your own film back... must not have been a jolly experience by any count.

I was out with my husband on a rare Saturday afternoon with no kids, on our way to lunch ......needless to say we kinda lost our appetites after that.  I never did get my pictures back  :( >:(

needless to say we kinda lost our appetites after that.

The same thing happened to a friend and I after she opened a pack of her photographs to see, not only the 36 pictures she'd carefully taken (I hesitate to say 'exposed'), but, in addition, two extreme close-ups of... umm... male genitalia.  :o  :o  :o

Actually, the reason we lost our appetites was because we felt sick from laughing so much.

I still think it was the processing lab doing a deliberate wind-up.

These are great, what a fantastic collaboration.
I've been thinking about redscale since I saw your last post - I'll be giving it a go in the near future.
