erm, was the film C41 and they did it E6? I feel like your developer people might have worked some strange chemical magic on this, either than or your camera has super powers. amazing. fav.
It certainly looks like some sort of cross development, or really outdated Kodak @chewyteeth . I really like the effect though! Fave because it looks so 60s! @peterdegraaff has much more experience with cross-process results, maybe he can shed some light!
Fav. I love this series. Yummo. Not what went wrong but right, and how can it be reproduced. What sort of film was it and how was camera set? @grizzlysghost@chewyteeth
@chewyteeth@grizzlysghost@peterdegraaff - thanks for all the interest guys :) The film was just a standard ISO 200 35mm film, the cheapest one they sell here in Thailand. But I think maybe I've figured out what happened, when I started rewinding the camera it would only rewind for a little bit, so I took the camera into the bathroom closed the door and turned off the light, I only had a red headlamp on. I then took out the film and rewound it manually. And the first 2 photos of the roll came out normal - and the rest orange. So that is probably the reason, and pretty easy to reproduce :)
Here is the camera that I used: http://365project.org/lily/365/2012-10-17
@lily
Normally you use red safe light just with paper developing, film has to be dealt with in complete darkness. But if that's what's created this effect you're a genius. And it should hence be known as the thorndal effect.
@chewyteeth - he he - thanks. It was just a headlamp for camping that happens to have a red light as well as the white light. Not sure if that would be a "safe" light. But I'd love to see your take on the "orange effect" aka the Thorndal effect :)
@chewyteeth - interesting that it is cheaper in the UK. I thought it was cheap here, and it is - compared to Denmark.
And you know what, they are totally on to the expired film thing - they charge extra for expired rolls!
Hey, I've been shining safe light on my films ever since this discussion and it never worked!!! the Thorndal effect is still a mystery!
;) you on flickr?
@chewyteeth - it didn't work?! Weird... it is the only explanation I can some up with. Maybe I'll have to try and recreate the event and see if it happens again. How did your film look after you shined safe light on it? Just normal or?
It didn't really effect it. But then I rolled it right back into the canister afterwards, and I've got a film leader retriever tool which has never worked, so I had to pop the bottom off the canister in the dark, retrieve the leader and put the bottom back on. Well I didn't put it back on tight enough so I had these mad orange sprocket marks burnt onto all my pics from light getting in. meh. but nothing from the actual light. Maybe I was too shy with it? flickr man....where all the cool kids are....

Ah, I was kinda dreaming you'd say 10 baht and offer to send me a million. In the UK I pay 50 baht, but in other money. :)

Ha, just like ebay. Film is popular in south east Asia. Eastern Europe is king for cheap photo stuff.
