Wonder if this year's winter will be as warm & rainy as the last one (the lowest temperature in Turku last winter was -7°C...).

Shot sometime in December last year (2007).

More colour goofing about

Some more testing, shots taken minutes after the shot of the red building with the red car.

Three exposures, red, green and yellow filters used.

Upper left: red and green as in the lower right image with the addition of the info from the yellow capture (blue and green channel retained -> cyan tinted image).

Lower left: red and green as in the lower right image with the addition of the info from the yellow capture (red and blue channel retained -> magenta tinted image).

Upper right: red and green as in the lower right image with the addition of the info from the yellow capture (blue channel retained -> blue tinted image); did not result in true colours as would have happened if I had used a blue filter [one hopefully on its way]. Still, perhaps most pleasing of the bunch. Reminds me of magazines from the 1950s and 1960s.

Makes one appreciate the efforts of the engineers at I.G. Farben and Kodak et al ;)

RG colour test

Blogged here.

While I'm waiting for a blue filter to do some "proper" RGB colour images from black and white ones I thought of making a red-green colour image. Two exposures, the first with a red filter and the second with a green filter with the two then spliced together in photoshop. As evident, the image consists of red, green and the composite yellow colour and thus fairly limited (but fun).

Original inspiration came from Ian Tindale at flickr.

See the previous for details. Shot at the Turku railway station. This one is a high resolution one (from a 2400 DPI scan) to illustrate the grain (the JPEG algorithm smudges/smoothens it a wee bit).

C-41 developed with B&W chemicals.

Technically garbage (just wanted to finish the roll in order to load one of the two Kodachrome rolls I gambled on [want to try it while on can]) with handshake/walking blur and all, odd that the world chose to tilt a bit for that frame ;)

The (possibly) interesting bit is that this is "cross processed"; shot on a 10+ year old Kodak Supra 400 negative colour film (C-41) developed in Rodinal (1+50, 14min at 24°C). It yields very very dense negatives (must be viewed against a window or a lamp to see anything, the histogram shows everything compressed into 20% at the highlights corner). Still, can be scanned. Some shot are even more crappy, they look like late 1980's/early 1990's bitmaps and thus quite limited. Fog & grain is aplenty (the roll has been kept in room temperature plus cosmic radiation that doesn't help).

Did this test to see if it is doable at all, have a roll of Agfa HDC at my parents house that I shot in the late 1990's or early 2000's that I want to have a go at.

The jagged top comes from photoshops paint bucket, was a bit lazy.

APX 400, rodinal 1+100 [24°C, 22 min]. A wetting agent bath might had done some good, didn't have any yet at the time when I developed this.

Fern "sapling" spotted on Ruissalo in the Turku archipelago. This is frame #38 of a 36-roll film so I got lucky, not the least that I passed by it when a ray of light fell on it.

Frame 28 of the first roll...

Frame no. 28 of the first self-processed roll showing a detail of the pedestrian street of Turku, blog entry

[this doesn't look at all as good on my monitor at work as at home, might had needed some more contrast, still a quick peek into what became of it].

A bit low contrast, has to do with how I scanned it in a hurry and didn't set black and white points properly [the histogram looks nice enough]. This is easily done in photoshop though. Fortunately a department store opened a new section that day, otherwise I hadn't been able to pinpoint the date ;)

Rodinal 1+100, ~20°C, 20 minutes.

Subterranean village in Tunisia.

Cheap but not that good processing done in Hammamet, Tunisia. Fortunately the store owner ran out of developer after one roll, so I ended up with only one scratched roll.

same thing in colour by Marilou, six years apart.

Salmon being smoked/roasted at the archipelago/fish market in Turku, Finland 18-20.4.2008.

My first attempt at shooting colour negative with the FM2 (only three or four rolls of 120 film before two rolls of Centuria 200 (except some sporadic shots during my adolescence)).

DNP Centuria is the old Konica-Minolta Centuria rebranded.
