Playground

Football field, Colonia Garcia Escámez, Fuerteventura.

This is the cross-processed version of a previously shown photo of a football field. The photo was taken on Ektachrome 100 slide film, and cross-processed in C-41. As described earlier, the more you underexpose transparency film when cross-processing, the less prominent the resulting cross-processing effect will be. In this case, I only underexposed by -2/3 steps (ISO 160 instead of ISO 100) to get a stronger effect. The result is a light overall impression with strong color shifts to cooler tones, and hightlights that tend to blow-out. Cross-processing the other way round – developing negative film in E-6 process – gives warm orange/magenta color shifts.

    Really dig this shot. There’s something about seeing places that are normally crowded or inhabited be totally empty. It’s eerie. I like it.
