so here's some cross processed film experimentation I did....just wanted to know what ya'll thought. (don't worry im not in the stone age usin film...i just like it better when i have time to work with my photos)
//www.deviantart.com/deviation/23596200/ this one is velvia100f x process
//www.deviantart.com/deviation/23595660/ this is velvia50 x proc
..these are just scanned prints..no photoshoppin the colors here

I like them both. Did you filter the Velvia 50 to get the green color, or did it just go green naturally on the long exposure under flourescent lights? The lights in that one are a bit too bright, in my opinion, so you might want to try lowering the exposure time and firing an external flash on your main one or two points of interest to get more even lighting. The one of the girls at the table is just cool. Are they twins?

| Neither photo lends itself well to what Velvia films are famous for. The Velvia line is very strong in the cool color ranges... blues... greens... These two photos would benefit more from a Kodak processing which is strong in the warmer tones.. yellows and reds... |

no i know that
cross processing is running the slide film through c41 process...so all normal color properties go out the window, the film is now a negative film, not slide film it was intended to be. I should have elaborated on that. This was an experiment though as each slide film reacts differently to c41 process.
philip: the greenish yellow is a natural result of the cross processing (the negatives are completely red), and nah the girls are my sisters 2 yrs apart. I like the external flash idea, cept i wouldnt get the light trails and blur from the train as much...I think what I should have done is probably stopped down to f8 or 11 maybe... i dunno if i would have enough power to flash the whole structure. thanks for the tips though! |

Love the look you got with both. I particularly like "Staredown."

I like them ALOT...from the format of the images I'm gonna guess you used 120 film?...I really like the "sulfury" tones...acid yellows and greens. I've never tried cross processing...gotta go get me some Velvia, anything else I need to know before I give this a try?
yes...I do have a medium format cam : } |

yep used 120 film. nope just take it to any film lab, tell em u want it run through the c41 processor. Curious lab dude looks at the film, tells u its not c41 film, u say I know, do it anyways, it wont mess up the chemistry. U get really contrasty grainyness if u push it a stop or 2, which i didnt this time around, but if u want a gritty look give it a shot.
oh and u can do it with 35 mm too. but i like squares haha

Must not of noticed the "cross-processed" line. ;o)
Some labs don't like to "cross-process" because it's hard on the chemicals. I love the look though.
Petrakka- How hi can you scan that image? I would love to get a hi-res scan of that film border if possible. Pretty Please! :D

| The tones in the first are spectacular! Second one isn't as impressive IMO. I think the process you're using will work great with some styles but so-so with others. |

By pushing and pulling the processing you can change the colors greatly. Fashion shooter love this look, but you have to have your models apply thick and exaggerated make-up.

| brent, i cant scan it at like a super high res, the holders for the film scanners i use cut off the film borders, what u looked at were just scanned darkroom prints at 300 dpi .... i might be able to get it higher than that...but as of now the photos are about 1500x1500 pixels... let me know if thatd suffice. |

Look at my senior photo thread. That will show how I want to use it...1500x1500 is def better than nothing. Thanks for letting me use it.
