Fuji Velvia Cross Processed

Or should I say cross possessed? The film base and all the images took on a sickly green cast after being processed in C41 chemicals. That’s somewhat OK as despite it being positive film the processing results in a negative. When the colour is inverted it results in a strong red hue. I found that I got the best results with these “negatives” by scanning them as slides and then batch inverting and processing them in Photoshop. So really what you see is a combination of the cross processing and my choice of how to handle them digitally afterwards.

I should mention that these were all shot with my Yashica Electro GX a fine camera I must say.
