DIY Redscale

First of all, this isn't my idea. I have read about DIY redscale a few months ago and i finally got the chance to try it recently.

The results were not excellent as i would have wished but i did get the reddish tones i wanted. I don't have photos of how to do the process of transferring the roll so i drew it instead. I hope it's not confusing.

What you'll need:

1. an empty spool of film
2. a roll of unexposed film
3. pair of scissors
4. clear tape
5. a completely dark room (or a changing bag)

The goal here is to expose the back side of the film strip to get the reddish tones from the final pictures. So for that to happen, you need to attach the reverse side of the unexposed film to an empty spool and transfer the roll into it.

Important: You have to transfer the film to the other spool in a changing bag or in a room that's completely dark so that your film remains unexposed.























All photos were shot with a Pentax P30 with a roll of Kodak Ultima 100 (one month to expiry date). The film scanner i used was quite bad in quality (CDR-King Film Scanner), plus the lab where i got my film roll developed didn't wipe the strips properly.

I cut the entire roll to 5 shorter strips so i could store them in an envelope and later did i realize the mistake of doing that because now, they are all stuck to each other. I long for the day when i can finally own a good quality film scanner.

All photos were shot around Dumaguete market and boulevard area.
