my italian holiday - conclusion.

this is the last post dedicated to my Italian Holiday: it is time to move forward as January is almost over! I do not have any more places to tell you about - as I have recounted all of the ones we visited in my previous posts - still I have some photographs to share: a selection of shots I took with my Hasselblad and a Lomography Redscale Negative 100 - a sort of recap of my holiday in red.
recap of my Italian Holiday:

Hasselblad 500 C/M - Lomography Redscale Negative 100
photograph 1: factory in Crespi D'Adda | photograph 2 and 3: Poira di Civo | photograph 4: my sister in Poira di Civo | photograph 5: Sasso Remenno | photograph 6: Palazzo Besta in Teglio

I do not know what to think about Lomography Redscale Negative 100 - but I still believe these photographs can be quite an interesting conclusion for my long series of posts dedicated to Italy!

  1. The results are incredible, much like the ones you took in Iceland (if my memory serves me well). I'm not a fan of colour effects, but for some reason this redscale really works for me :)

    1. Thank you, Inês! The other Redscale film I took was in Northern Lapland. I still have mixed feelings about these Redscale films, but I believe they're fascinating sometimes!

  2. I think the camera hit it off particularly well with the film when you were up in the mountains.

    1. Thank you, Antonella! Like you though, I think I prefer the Redscale XR 50-200 to this one.

    2. I tried them only once but I definitely want to make other Redscales, although I was a bit disappointed by the result (quantity & quality)... But I can't help it, I love the atmosphere of redscale. And if one picture is good, it is very special with all this red, I think :)

      Here are my tries: http://littlepinkcakes.blogspot.de/2013/07/the-redbird.html

  4. The snow and these redish tones go together really well. And why not to finish it in red, it's the flame that stays every time after visiting beautiful places and dear people;-) x

    1. Thank you, Sirpa! It is certainly a fascinating film, though not for every day I think.

  6. I have mixed feelings with this film. I have used it and I have discovered I like the results depending on the laboratory that develops the film. Sadly those that turn too red don't turn out as good at these!

    1. I agree with you, Barbara! It's not an easy film to develop and it doesn't turn out always the way the one's expecting it to.

    1. Thank you, Silvia! I'm glad you think so! I wouldn't certainly pick up a Redscale every day either... it's just nice to use it, once in a while.

    1. Thank you, dear Toi! ♥ I know what you mean though, normal film is way better most of the time!

  12. I think these are such wonderful levels of tones, probably because you used a really good camera along with it, very striking! :)

    1. Thank you, Katie! Sure, the Hasselblad is a very good camera and that helps a lot. Though I wouldn't mind trying it with my Nikon FM once, if I could find a 35mm Redscale.
