The Austro–Soviet company Lomography doesn’t just design and sell interesting lenses and bizarre cameras, they also stock weird film.
I half suspect they’ve bought outdated stock, sussed how time broke it, and sold the distorted results as experimental film for adventurous photographers—that, or they were inspired by once doing so. Whichever, it works for me: they’re done the work, I get something different.
I bought some weird stock, tried it out, exaggerated the grain, got great results. I’ll buy more.
This encourages me to try something I’ve never previously explored, photo software filtering. Manufacturers often offer free filter packs with their editors. I’ve never seen the point of them. Well, perhaps, now, I do. I’ll have to play.
While I’m here, I should warn you that Lomography’s concept of 36 is my idea of 30. At least their fancy Purple and Turquoise films are sold short. Well, that, or they really confuse my ‘new’ film camera.
