Partly because I still wasn't sure whether I wanted to go through this process and partly because I wanted to forget the shots that were on this film in case results look bad or don't turn out at all. Just ordinary secondary or tertiary camera stuff.Īfter the shooting process was completed I marinated film in the closet for about a month. That's why I used it as a shoot-anything-whenever film. I didn't want to shoot anything that I would care much about as realistically I expected the results to be poor. It's probably not as precise as a good light meter or even camera with a built in light meter but it has served me well in the past. I did use a light meter through my phone for most of the shots so it wasn't fully Sunny16.
Why such a silly choice? I expected certain shifts to happen anyway so some exposure mistakes likely wouldn't matter as more mistakes would be made during the development process. That's why I chose Leica M3 - camera without a light meter. There's a new Kodak Ektachrome but it's not the same formula.īecause slide film won't tolerate your exposure mistakes as well as black and white or C-41 film would it's recommended that you use a precise light meter ( or a camera with light meter ) to ensure proper exposure. My copy expired in 2005 and you can't buy this film new anymore as it's not being made.
C 41 processing at home plus#
Step 1: Shoot Filmįilm is Kodak Ektachrome 100 Plus Professional ( EPP100 ). I develop black and white and C-41 film at home so I had everything that I needed to try this. You can find many threads about this online but I used one that was very nicely written and the author had experimented quite a lot. In the depths of the internet I had found that you can actually develop slide film using black and white developer in combination with the C-41 process and get slides at the very end. You can also develop with black and white chemicals and get some black and white negatives.
Doing the C-41 process would give you negatives.and the wacky colors. It might be fun but I wanted slides to end up as slides / positives. You get some wacky colors and crazy contrast. Obviously you can develop slide film using the C-41 process. I could get a lab to develop it but I don't have one close to me and I'm too lazy to drive to it as I would have to do it twice - once to give the film and once to retrieve it. I don't shoot slide film often so I don't have E-6 chemicals and because I only have a few slide film rolls - it doesn't make sense to buy E-6 chemicals as they would expire before I could develop enough rolls to make it worth it. I have a few expired Kodak Ektachrome EPP100 films that I'm experimenting with.
