Bleach Bypass with FILM (not digital filters).
This was a total candid and I really like what happened.
Missed a lot of the subjects, but lots going on anyway...
Eastman Kodak expired Vision2 250D. Shot at 250 with Bessa T and toy M mount body cap pancake lens with fixed focus F/10. There seems to be a sweet spot around 10 to 20 feet with the lens. "pre developed" (still looking for a good term). in PA Rodinal 1:100 for 10 minutes and then cross processed in Kodak Flexicolor C-41 for 3:15 minutes, skip bleach / bypass 2 minute wash, then fixed for 8 minutes continuous agitation in Ilford Hypam rapid fix 1:4.
The raw scan comes up very bronze with some rich earth tone colors, definitely not monochrome. Obviously, the color can be rebalanced in post processing to bring back the original, or better colors. This is fairly easy to do in photoshop and I learned to just let VueScan do it's job and adjust the raw scan image.
The images may be a bit flatter but I find a VERY wide range of saturation to play with when a normal color negative would tip over of blow out. There are some unique "looks" to be had here. The shadows don't bunch up so quickly and it is possible that running it through a B&W developer automatically pushes the film a bit. I usually shoot this film at 125 or so and here it is doing well at 250 for a 20 odd year old roll. My other posts of just bleach bypass have a thinner look and the shadows are lost pretty quick. More to explore.
