Slide Film in OM1 (cross processed)

I've played around before over here, cross-processing the Lomo brand slide film (x-pro 200). What I discovered then, was that the x-pro film (when cross-processed) doesn't do so well deliberately overexposed in camera. With that in mind, I loaded a roll in my OM-1 and tried to shoot at normal exposure. Another little hurdle in the process was that my OM1 doesn't have a working light meter, so I used a light app on my phone. From my trip down to Melbourne using that set up, I discovered that the app tends to overexpose for colour (or at least the rolls I put through). I did keep all this in mind but I still think this roll came back overexposed and if I were to repeat, I'd shoot at lower settings to avoid the issue. Lots of technical stuff but let's just go look at some photos!


Sunflowers from Ben's brother's family and the garden from which I was gifted lots of sunflower seeds from! I'm going to put together an update of what's been happening so far in my year of blooms project, very soon!

Slide film - Ben

I used my telescopic lens a bit with this roll and it seems to produce these lovely light leaks!

Film Camera a Month - May

For May I chose to use my Canon 1000f film camera. 
 As I mentioned before, I was really looking forward to using a more reliable film camera for this month.

For my film I decided to use slide x-pro 200 by lomography. I then decided to go a step further and have it developed in normal colour settings aka having it cross processed. I also did my normal trick of over exposing in camera by two stops which honestly was this month's biggest downfall. If I use this slide film again, I will just shoot at normal exposure as a lot of the shots from this roll were way too washed out to even share :( In saying that I'm still super excited to share my favourites, which I do really love!!




The reds ended up being super bright which I think is so pretty :)
You may also recognise this shot from my insta :P








Don't think I explained the focus to Ben :P


Can you spy the corn! My bro visited and we opened one and I'd say it was 70% ready but he still gave it two thumbs up for taste wise :)
