I think one of the most amazing things about redscale film photography is the way it interprets greens. Here you can see how the greens in the upper left have remained clean, and the magenta flowers, now red-orange, pop right out. The greens on the right however had a slightly different hue, and so they rendered differently. Redscale is able to differentiate between them, creating a kind of false-color effect not unlike infrared.
Next time around, I’m anxious to try shooting with a green filter. Green filters are a bit uncommon; red, orange and yellow are more popular as they’re used to darken skies and accentuate clouds. But green filters are essential for black and white portraits; they add weight and definition to skintones, so they’re good to have on hand, and lend an X-Pro effect to redscale film.
