Crossed leaves

Posted as-is from a drugstore scan (1500×1000 pixels) of cross-processed Ektachrome GX film. The scans were mostly blown out, but I liked the look.

They say that Kodak film works “best” at cross-processing. I have a lot of 120-format Provia lying around, so it might be time to test that hypothesis.

I shot this at a local park with the good ol’ Nikon F90 and 50mm f/1.8 lens. For all you Torontonians — I bought the film (expired 2006) for $1 at a camera fair last year, and had it developed and scanned at the Shoppers Drug Mart at Eglinton and Chaplin for $3. Talk about a cheap thrill!

  1. Aren’t those film deals from nowadays wonderful ? I managed to snap a bunch of E100G in 220 for the same price a couple years ago and keeps rendering colors quite well for my tastes (expired 2005). You hit bingo with this one, cross processing works wonders here.
