matroskin Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 <p>can someone recommend me any kind techniques for experimenting with slide film?<br /> <br /> i found 10 rolls of old slide films dated to 1994 and 2000 that weren't refrigerated (fuji and kodak). i tried one roll and it comes out purple so i think i'm going to cross process a couple. is there anything i can while exposing the film to have interesting results. like under exposure and push processing or using some kind of filters?<br /> <br /> i would appreciate any recommendations.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 <p>What film is it? Some will push some won't and not all will be purple... just have fun and do all you can think.. Pulling pushing XPRO even using it in a Plastic camera....</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cblkdog Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 <p>I'd push 2-3 stops and process a couple of rolls at a time so you can adjust your exposure if you need to. Otherwise, as Larry said, have fun.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick_mont Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 <p>If you want to experiment with side film I recommend trying cross processing.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary_watson Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 If it looks awful with normal E6 processing, what makes you think C41 will magically transform it? Buy some fresh film or at least something spooled in this century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matroskin Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 <p>Gary, i have plenty of fresh slide film.<br /> now, did i ask about any magic? NO! did you read my post? i asked about experiments that can be done. you don't have anything constructive to post - don't post. why do i often get a feeling that those fancy icons next to the name get into the owner's head? it's hard to say.<br> BTW, the films are Eline crome, provia, and astia</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 <p>I have an icon but that just means I talk a lot and payed my union dues. You are correct but I doubt it is the Icons it is the person. Just shoot have fun and enjoy. And when you get some Xproed remember that C-41 may add a stop or even 2 I shoot most Xpro 1 stop faster and I can tame the rest in PS. You sound like a person who is like me. Just shoots for fun and to see what else is out there besides plain old White Bread.</p> <p>I took out a funny looking box camera the other day a Spartus Press Flash. of the 8 shots I got I liked 6.5 of them. Photography is not my money maker it is my hobby so I can afford not to be snooty I can afford to have fun.</p> <p>http://www.flickr.com/photos/jokerphotography/sets/72157618642347306/</p> <p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2458/3555255814_e5f993f386.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="338" /></p> <p>From the BOX me on the outside thinking from behind and knowing what was inside.. I think I have the BOX covered now.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
