Adox’s\u00a0Color implosion film is marketed as having ‘a modified color scheme’\u00a0<\/em> from there website translated to english:<\/p>\n

Place your camera to ISO 400\/27 \u00b0. The color option of your memory film implodes and you get images with very little color and “Toxic Grain”.\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong>This awaits you if you belichtest\u00a0Color implosion with your Holga.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now I don’t know what blichtest\u00a0means but it doesn’t sound good and I don’t like anyone telling me I have to use a Holga.<\/p>\n

So the second suggestion which\u00a0might have been\u00a0what I was after is.<\/p>\n

Place your camera to ISO 200\/24 \u00b0.\u00a0 Now everything explodes red, while the others remain in the green-blue color.\u00a0 “Toxic Grain” is red.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u00a0 If you like share with your laboratory staff that you would like the movie “supercharge plus 1”. “Bursting Red” also in your Holga<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Still I don’t want anything bursting in my Holga if I had one, so I went with the third option.<\/p>\n

Place your camera to ISO 100\/21 \u00b0.\u00a0 Now makes Color implosion for you beautifully surreal 70s summer colors.\u00a0 The “Toxic Grain” is now yellow and not as concise.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

By the way this is what ‘Toxic Grain’\u00a0 looks like \"Adox_Implosion_Closeup-014\"<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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\u00a0100 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. \u00a0For those I boosted the red channel to more closely match my expectations.\u00a0 But without further ado(x) here are the images I belichtested.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
