Redscale in the City


Well, the X10 looked like it had redscale potential in my initial tests. Then I brought it into the City. At night. In Times Square. Wow.

That the X10 was able to capture some remnants of color in its fiery orange images was a pleasant surprise. it's one of the things that make film redscale photography compelling. But I had no idea this would happen...

As it is, the Fujifilm X10 responds differently than you’d think to various colors and light sources, most notably deep, saturated blues and cyans. It’s a striking contrast to the yellows and oranges in the rest of the image.

Reds often turn magenta, adding yet another dynamic. But the results vary widely from scene to scene, making for some enjoyable shooting:
