 A simple set up using mostly available light from a lrge window. Flash from above just to add a little extra...

Crop and rotate during Raw conversion.
Add Hue/Saturation layer to get rid of all but the Yellow and Red channels. had to desaturate the yellow quite a lot to completly lose some of the green text on the CF cards, so added another Hue/Saturation layer to bump the Yellow back up again.
Brightness and contrast layer, +5 on each.

Not expecting great things, but haven't done a challenge for ages, so though I'd give it a go!
Would like to have more negative space above the film roll, though it would have meant moving away from a 2 to 3 ratio, which I personally prefer not to do.

A those were the days. I still remember the shutter sound of my film rebel.
Looks like the film is trying to keep the throne in a last desperate move.
The little piece of film sticking out of the cylinder makes the picture for me. "From Kodak to Kingston", sounds like a good book title about progress.
