When I post some pictures

[ljplicease]

I added some pictures to my Los Alamos / Bandalier entry:

• When I adventure in Bandalier and Los Alamos
• ... or the LJ version for those of you following along there

Things have been pretty low key since we got back. Dance lessons tonight. This weekend we are going up to New Jersey to see Lena's family. Had a nice talk with my brother Tristan and my Dad last weekend. Tristan is half way through dentistry school. Dad is retiring.

Love the photo above, as the others you've added to your previous entry. Is the expired film that gave it the orange hue, or you did some darkroom sorcery?

This is not expired, but "redscale". This is what happens when you intentionally expose film backwards, ie with the emulsion away from the lens, allowing it to be exposed through the base of the film, which gives it a red shift. You see a lot of examples of this that IMHO are too red because people are underexposing. With a longer exposure you start to see other colors. Even so it doesn't always work, but is fun to try anyway.

Definitely sounds like a fun experiment and I like the fact that you're pushing the creative process a further step beyond taking photos.
