On the Table

On the Table

Awhile ago I loaded up the FM2n with Rollei Crossbird Creative Edition film. It is very, very green. That is okay, but not a good suggestion for landscapes . . . green and then some. Anyway, it is an interesting film, and when there is red in the image, and blues or turquoises, the color skews are not unpleasant. This is one of the two I liked as far as color from the roll.

Bilious Green Horrors

A nightmare of green.

This is Rollei Crossbird Creative Edition film. It sounded interesting. In a green-ish landscape, it is a nightmare of greens. This looks like something designed to torture.

As you can see, with too much green it only devolves into creepiness.

But, if you have reds in the image, suddenly it becomes interesting.

I actually rather like these. These are straight out of C41 processing.

But the nightmares can be changed into something – better? different? more interesting? artistic?

Oaks & Pathway - Sunflower Fields - Topaz Restyle

Yes, I think so. I used my own presets in LR, Topaz Restyle, and a few other things.

Conclusion: This film is weird, but that is what it is supposed to be. I bought it because it was an experiment. It tweaks the mind. Also, a lot of the photos, I actually like, and wish I could turn them into something more normal.

I shot this with my Nikon FM2n and 50mm f1.4mm AIS lens.
