Day 033/365 - Craig needs a new sign
A cool, rusty auto shop sign in Ballard, as seen through the backwards redscale film.
Redscale, according to Wikipedia, is the name given to a technique of shooting film where the film is exposed from the wrong side, through the emulsion. Normally, this is done by winding the film in upside-down into an empty film canister - but in this case, I got specially loaded film from Lomography..
The name "redscale" comes because there is a strong color shift to red due to the red-sensitive layer of the film being exposed first, rather than last. All of the layers are sensitive to blue light, so normally the blue layer is on top, followed by a filter. In this technique, blue light exposes the layers containing red and green dyes, but the layer containing blue dye is left unexposed due to the filter.
In other words, it comes out funky red-ish tones.
