Adox Color Implosion
Adox’s Color implosion film is marketed as having ‘a modified color scheme’ from there website translated to english:
Place your camera to ISO 400/27 °. The color option of your memory film implodes and you get images with very little color and “Toxic Grain”. This awaits you if you belichtest Color implosion with your Holga.
Now I don’t know what blichtest means but it doesn’t sound good and I don’t like anyone telling me I have to use a Holga.
So the second suggestion which might have been what I was after is.
Place your camera to ISO 200/24 °. Now everything explodes red, while the others remain in the green-blue color. “Toxic Grain” is red.
If you like share with your laboratory staff that you would like the movie “supercharge plus 1”. “Bursting Red” also in your Holga
Still I don’t want anything bursting in my Holga if I had one, so I went with the third option.
Place your camera to ISO 100/21 °. Now makes Color implosion for you beautifully surreal 70s summer colors. The “Toxic Grain” is now yellow and not as concise.
By the way this is what ‘Toxic Grain’ looks like
While I had hoped for the reds to really stand out, they ended up being quite muted, perhaps because of my choice to shoot at 100 ISO. I’ve set a few of those images aside for a future post where I show the difference between the raw scans and the edited files. For those I boosted the red channel to more closely match my expectations. But without further ado(x) here are the images I belichtested.
