Around Town on Harman Red 125

35mm, Alberta, C-41, Calgary, Canada, Harman Red 125, Olympus XA2, redscale No Comments

I shot these photos around Calgary using Harman Red 125, which is just redscaled Harman Phoenix 200. I’ve tried a variety of different redscale films and this one has to be one of my favourites.

The Trouble with Scanning Redscale Film

110, Alberta, C-41, Calgary, Canada, Kodak Ektralite 500, Lomography Lobster Redscale 200, redscale No Comments

The trouble with scanning redscale film is that the scanning software will try to correct for the red and yellow color cast in the images. The resulting images are often washed out and grainy and require manual correction to get the expected redscale look. I use VueScan and Negative Lab Pro to scan and convert […]

Arromanches

35mm, Canon Rebel 2000, FPP Red Scale 50, France, redscale No Comments

These photos were shot in Arromanches, a town in Normandy, France. The number 6 on the building refers to June 6, 1944 — D-Day. Arromanches, or Gold Beach as it was known in World War II, was one of the two Normandy beaches where the British landed. The last photo in this post features one […]

2013 Calgary Flood damage in Fish Creek Park

This is from a photo walk I took through Fish Creek Park the year after the 2013 flood. I went to see the damage from the flood once the park had re-opened and was deemed safe again for the public. I had a few cameras with me that day, but I only snapped this one […]

Still more photos from my trip to Elbow Falls with Sarah. These were shot on expired (and no longer available) Lomography Redscale 100. Its replacement is the much improved Lomography Redscale XR 50-200.

Union Cemetery #3

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, FPP Red Scale 50, redscale No Comments

When I first took up photography, I visited Union Cemetery quite a bit and took many photos. These were shot using FPP Red Scale 50 film from the Film Photography Project. The FPP no longer sells this film, but they do offer a Svema Red Scale 25 which I have yet to shoot with.

Shooting with Rollei Redbird

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, redscale, Rollei Redbird 400 No Comments

I shot these at the Lilac Festival a couple years ago using Rollei Redbird 400 film. Even though the box speed is 400, I shot these at 100 ISO. This is the second roll of Redbird I’ve shot and the first one (shot at box speed) came out even darker than these photos. I hate […]

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Lomography Redscale XR 50-200, redscale No Comments

I shot these at the Calgary Zoo’s Prehistoric Park on redscale film with the ISO set to 50. I absolutely love the golden yellow tones you get with shooting redscale!

Bicycle in Arromanches

35mm, Canon Rebel 2000, FPP Red Scale 50, France, redscale No Comments

I came across this really cool bicycle in Arromanches-les-Bains when I was in France this summer. Arromanches is where the British built a Mulberry harbour after D-Day in World War II. The remnants of the Mulberry harbour can still be seen today. I love rescale film and the red, orange and gold tones you can […]

Redscale Penguins

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Lomography Redscale XR 50-200, redscale No Comments

I took these back in June using my Canon EOS 3 and a roll of Lomography Redscale XR 50-200 film. I love the golden yellow and orange tones of this film! To get this effect, I shot this film at ISO 50. The penguins in the pictures are Humboldt penguins. They are native to Chile […]
