photographs from Lapland part VII:
Hasselblad 500 C/M - Lomography Redscale XR 50-200that was my first time shooting with Lomography Redscale film and I have to say the results are quite incredible: the reds are so intense that Lapland looks like Mars. this may be because I had to expose the roll at iso 200 for every single shot - as it was too dark to expose it at a lower iso. that surreal look though makes these red photographs decisively unique - don't you think?
thank you for following my posts about Lapland over the past couple of weeks - here is my surprise gift for you: I have prepared a digital booklet with a large selection of photographs - most of which I have not yet shared online. download Ruska and let me know what you think about it! ♥
P.S. I am also very happy to finally be able to reveal that I was interviewed by Lomography for the Lomo Amigo section of their international magazine: you can read the interview here.
oh my, this is so different from the ruska photos you've shared before. i used a lomography redscale once but the result wasn't that rich and intense. it was somehow "flat", clearly i did something wrong.
ReplyDeleteyou booklet is lovely ♥
I'm glad you find them so interesting, Silvia! And I'm especially glad you like the booklet! Thank you! ♥
DeleteYes, you did leave me a comment talking about this film so I thought this was probably it and I am glad I was right - I knew these were going to be spectacular! Honestly, just spectacular, I'm in awe. ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteI knew you would have got it right! And I'm super happy you think so, Katie! Thank you! ♥
DeleteI'm risking to be like a boy in a story 'A wolf and a shepherd boy', that after repeating 'wonderful' so many times, it's not gonna sound that honest at the end. But it is not superficial, I do mean it and each of ur posts are really special. Apart from being special visually it recalls some strong, basic, yet maternal relation between earth and a human. Just great,-) xx
ReplyDeleteThank you so so much for these lovely words of yours. Truly, I am flattered!
DeleteThe one with the board walk is great, with the high contrast. Quite bizarre colours, indeed they seem from Mars. And that's what makes them interesting, especially next to your other Lapand photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ingeborg! I also like the one with the boardwalk a lot!
DeleteOh Polly, what a gorgeous red tone in these photos!!
ReplyDeleteSirpa, thank you so much! These Lomography Redscale films were a success!
DeleteThese are absolutely stunning, Polly! You have such a gift.

ReplyDeleteI love your love for the Nikon FM:)
Awono, thank you! I'm truly glad you like the booklet too! I knew there were some more photographs worth sharing! Nikon FM = ♥
DeleteThese pictures are so cool! Undoubtedly the reddish effect gives them a special touch :-)
ReplyDeleteI have thought of a way to take pictures with this kind of tone, but in a cheaper way, because the lenses are a bit expensive, and I found these inspiring photos! thanks again for this Polly!
Thank you, dear Diogo! You are always so nice! I hope your idea works out!
DeletePS: Yes, I like your header. Look-through text is beautiful anyway!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you do, Ingeborg! Thank you!
DeleteWoaw, I love the result, I want the 3, 4 and 5, 2mx2m on the walls of my ideal artist house!

That'd be awesome of you, Alice! Thank you so much, I'm very happy you like them!
DeleteOnly one word: wow! :)
ReplyDeleteInês, thank you so much!
