Box camera with Lomography Redscale 120 film
This roll was a little more interesting. Shot on a Kodak Box Brownie, where I had a little bit of choice for the aperture size.
This was shot on Lomography brand "Redscale" 120-size film, which supposedly boosts the reds and oranges. I can see it a little bit -- but mostly, it just looks "1970s" to me (which is okay -- it's a "look").
A web search indicated that to really get the vibrant reds and oranges, you need to over-expose the shot slightly. I was aiming for that -- but I probably didn't "lean into it" as much as I could've.
I have a few more rolls of this -- so next time I'll shoot through a camera that shoots 120 and lets me vary the shutter speed and/or aperture.
A few good shots. The one of the logs is my favorite (shot in the woods behind my house). The steps are from a (closed) African restaurant that's on the way to my kids' school: I wanted to take a shot of the whole building (it's painted orange) -- but the sun was too low in the sky to make the orange walls super bright -- and I needed to get going to work. I'll have to visit it on the weekend, where I can wait for the sun to be a little higher in the sky.
Remember to double-click, to see them properly: a lot of them just look "cluttered" when they're not enlarged. :)
An interesting double-exposure on that last one, there -- a white house in the middle of the pile of plastic bottles.
I'm getting better at not doing accidental double-exposures when shooting 120: I now leave the roll "between numbers" after I take a shot, and only queue up the number when I'm about to shoot.
As usual -- no "color grading" after the fact: this is just the un-enhanced digital scans of the negatives. :)
