Filmphotography - Cross processing film

The Rollei Corssbird film, cross processed, exhibits interesting contrast and color spectrum.

These landscape images have been taken on a bright sunny summer day.

This film is well suited for landscapes with different tones of green. Be it the light greenish water color of the Rhein river or the dark green color of the forest.

Looking at the sky in the shown images one gets a good impression on the contrast possibilities of this film. The white clouds are well textured and come out in really nice placicity.

Cross processing film

In an earlier post I reported on experimental film I just bought. Among the selection of film there was the Rollei Crossbird ISO 200 film which is a slide film (standard E-6 process) which however is famous for cross processing in C-41 negative process.

My motivation to buy this film was to do something experimental. Shooting sceneries with bright colors, good contrast, and plenty of detail, and then process the film in C-41. It is an experiment with - at least to me - unpredictable outcome. I am wondering if I can get that typical greenish color spectrum for that film.

Being all excited about this experiment I was searching for information on cross processing slide film. - What is cross processing (x-pro)?

Visit the crossprocessing.info site where the technological background is explained.

Here a gallery with all cross processed photographs using different film: link

I am still waiting for the right moment to expose my Rollei Crossbird film.
