Cross Processed Slide Film
-
These are from Kodak E100 VS slide film. Processed as normal colour film (C41)
The colours came out really mad and the negs are purple!!
Did some adjustments to these few.. not much though.Makes a nice conversion.
Ben the Beagle.
HND students do it at the beach!
Any of you done this sort of thing before?
Sinead.
I love cross processing but prefer neg film developed in E6 chemistry. Amazing colour changes .
Love the dog shot, its a strong image and the cross processing adds a surreal feel to it.
Yes, I do like the Beagle pic-
Might have liked it without the cross processing even…I’ve never tried this-
(except one time recently, by mistake- need to find some bleach)The flowers are nice too-

Cheers guys for comments.
Fizz, first time I have done this, thought E6 was normal processing for this film?
j and Eddie, I missed a couple of really great shots that day, his owner was
sitting reading the paper at an outdoor table and Ben was up on the seat looking
down over his shoulder, I just didn’t have the nerve to take the shot!Took a couple when his da (the owner) was in the loo. Unlike Jess he is not used
to having his picture taken! He whined a bit then barked at me! I mad a swift retreat
and shoved the camera away before anyone noticed :oops:I got the film processed in Jessops, they didn’t think it would work. Got two sets of
prints as well…. First was inverted and purple, and the second was green.No processing here what so ever!
I had a lot of blown areas in these prints, I know (well I think I do anyway)
slide film had a narrower colour space, which makes it more contrasty, seems
to be harder to control exposure as well….Any tips? Only, keep them simple, this where I get all dumb blonde! :oops:
That second picture in the above post: The forest floor is completely covered
in bluebells… Not much trace of them there though.. weird, innit?Sinead.
The beagle shot is super, followed by Jess in the forest really surreal.
Any tips? Only, keep them simple, this where I get all dumb blonde!
Slide film can be tricky at the start, it does have a much lower exposure latitude than digital or negative film but the colours are absolutelly super especially for landscapes. Takes a bit of practice, if you shoot with it regularly you learn allot about exposure and get the exposure bang on most of the time although some bracketing does help with tricky lighting.
When i used to shot with it, i turned off matrix metering and used center weighted or spot metering. Take the reading off some mid gray foreground like grass etc and use this to work out the exposure. I don’t use 35mm slide film anymore, i have about 20 roles of Fujichrome Velvia in the fridge if you want them? PM me your address and i can post. The film is out of date by about a year but its been in the fridge so it should be fine

Isn’t that a nice gesture?
With slide film, you can expect to represent about 4 to 5 stops subject brightness range-
maybe up to 6 with Astia-Its the opposite to negative film-
you can’t afford to blow the highlights at all,
you’ll just end up with clear film-
so you expose for the highlights, usually,
and let the shadows fall where they may-Or you can use filters to balance things out-
Martin is right,
you’ll need to meter carefully-
and some lighting conditions are better than others-
bright contrasty light is not ideal…j
Hi there Sinead~~
Just saw these on your flicker and was hoping that I would track them down here as well. Too good not to share!!
The set is fabulous.
Nice work…and as I said in the other place..something that I am dreaming of having time to learn.
Thanks again guys for comments and advice.
Martin, that is very very kind of you you indeed, I’d hate for you to be
out the expense of p&p so hang on to them, maybe we’ll meet on another
PI meet and I would be most happy to take them off you then?
I am hoping to plan a few days up to Dublin (why do people from the north
talk about going up to Dublin?!) during the summer, looks like some of you
had fun there recently :wink:
Thanks again, you have been very helpful to me since I joined and I really
do appreciate it :Dj, yes it is indeed a very nice gesture, some people here (yourself included)
have been very kind to me since I joined and it’s nice, everyone talks about
photography being ‘tough to get into’ some say ‘cut throat’ even but I havn’t
come across that yet (an advantage to blonde syndrome perhaps?).I read an interview in Professional Photographer mag recently with Andy Glass
http://www.andyglassphoto.com/flash.php?plugin=gotflash he does a lot of
digital stuff now but said the best lesson he had was shooting slide film, taught
him about exposure… something I feel I don’t yet have a solid grasp of, but
Martin is right, big lessons to be learned here!Sharon, thanks for your comments.. Well, if you are thinking about it, just do
it!! Would this work in the Holga?Sinead.

Yes but I said I preferred negative film in E6 chemistry, the opposite to what you have done.
