I have a Yashica 635 (TLR) that I bought some years ago and used fairly frequently for a while. I put it aside a couple of years ago after experiencing some odd looks to the film I last used in it. I assumed the camera was in need of a CLA. Recently, however, it occurred to me that maybe my film was bad. So I decided to run a roll of test film though it. I decided to shoot some "redscale". Redscale probably isn't the best test film but I did what I did. This film expired in 2015.
Redscale isn't everyone's cup of tea. Indeed, it's not even my cup of tea. However I found some years ago that when overexposed a stop or two it can yield a not unpleasant color palette. The first two shots below are the same image. For the second one I desaturated green and yellow in Lightroom.
The third shot is my favorite of the bunch. I didn't change anything in post except an adjustment to exposure. It is my daughter, Meg. We were standing at the front of my house waiting for the local elk. I had one frame left and I told Meg to strike a pose. It was getting dark but even so I forgot all about exposure values and just snapped the picture.
