Crazy Rollei Redbird Film

[Rob MacKillop]

Creative Edition. Wow. It was hot today, but I didn't think it was this HOT! Konica Hexar AF.

A couple - by way of an inquiry - of Nik filtered versions:

Have you never seen High Plains Drifter?!

That first is truly a shot from hell! Really interesting set and the B&W conversions have quite a look. The red sensitivity and added grain of the second give a very historic look.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, I have, and it know what you mean! I thought it was a familiar look. I could grow tired of it pretty quickly, but for a morning out walking in the sunshine, the results are fun. I'm quite impressed with the conversions.

Has anyone else used this film?

 

[Pete Askew]

Didn't Steve and Brian use some. In theory I have also - must get it developed!

 

[Hamish Gill]

Red scale, int it just normal film reversed?

Cool shots Rob (or hot)

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I don't know. Bit of fun.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Definitely

 

[Tom Dunne]

I like the first shot very much; the red seems to glow. The wall is right.
The novelty soon wears off with this though and the B/W ones came as a bit of a relief to be honest. The second B/w is really good with great contrast (reminds me of some Eugene Atget shots).

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Agreed, Tom. I think there is some worth in the b&w conversions, so might look at trying that with a few more. I do like that first one, though, as it is. Atget is one of my favs.

 

[Paul Lange]

Interesting effect but I think I prefer the BW versions rather than the red scale. So you just turn the film around? Do you have to adjust the ISO, I would guess it is less sensitive?

I just bunged it in and started firing...
