Taken with Olympus-35 SP on Fuji Velvia 50, but shot at 64ASA, then cross processed to C41 in Tetanal 2 Bath Kit. I love the way that sometimes slow speed cross processed film can have incredibly natural look that accentuates the actual colours in the landscape.
I have heard of cases where slide film was inadvertently processed in negative chemistry, but the results were always a disaster. So how come I'm enjoying these three photos so much? Were you able to manipulate the colors after scanning to make them look more natural, or was this simply the result of your C41 technique?
The different tones in the receding ridges are beautiful here.
@rvwalker cross processing can produce a wide range of results and can depend on the film used. Using slow speed films such as Velvia, or T64 with a slow shutter can produce the best results. Velvia will tend towards green, but can also depend on the highlights. The landscape seemed right for cross processing but it can be a gamble. Velvia is highly saturated, high contrast film. In scanning I didn't change colours, or even add saturation!
@peterdegraaff Thanks for the explanation. Velvia tends towards oversaturated greens even without the C41 effect, but these greens are quite different. They look pleasantly unreal, if that makes any sense at all.
