Jon Searles' photos with the keyword: photoshop

This shot involves, of course, far more than cross processing. I started with expired Fujichrome Astia 100, shot it with my Lomo 135BC, and then had it cross processed before having it scanned cheaply, and inverting it in Photoshop. I also cranked up the contrast a bit. Normally, of course, cross processing doesn't have effects quite this extreme, though, so I'm assuming that this is a result of the film being expired. The camera also has some minor light leaks, but not as far as I know on this frame. Expired color film does, after all, usually produce pink or red images, regardless of the developer used. Any tips on how I can reproduce, or prevent, this effect in the future would of course be welcome.

This was made in a similar fashion to my Karlovo Namesti shot, only with the extremes of contrast and brightness moderated to crank up detail, and the photo converted to black and white in Photoshop. It now could be either a photo, painting, or drawing, which I think is pretty cool. This is actually more or less what I had in mind when I shot it, which is not the case with any of the other photos in this batch.

This was from my first roll of cross-processed film (which was, in turn expired Fujichrome Astia 100), and one thing that I discovered right away with it was that it looked good when converted to black and white. In actuality, this was true for the whole roll, as you'll see from some of my other posts. It seems the photos look like antiques, not unlike what you would get if you shot black and white film in a Holga, only perhaps even more extreme. The first thing that comes to my mind are the original Niepce Heliographs from the 1820s.

This was another shot from my first cross processed Fujichrome that I converted to black and white in Adobe Photoshop. This shot looks almost conventional as a result, kind of like an antique photo.

Here's one of my most alternative rail shots of all time. I'm not sure if you'll like it, but I figured I'd give it a try. This is, of course, again from my cross-processed roll of Fujichrome, but this time with the reds cranked up so high in Photoshop that it resembles a painting.

This shot was one of the less wild ones from my first cross-processed Fujichrome. The original had a strong Magenta cast, just like the rest, but the more interesting feature was the way in which all electric lights (as on the whole roll), streaked to the right. Originally, I wasn't sure if this was the camera or the cross processing, but I'm now aware that this is the film transport being out of sync with the shutter. If anybody knows how to fix this please help!! It does create the feel of motion, though, even though it wasn't the motion of the tram which created the trails. Also, of course, I'll state the obvious and point out that I converted the photo to black and white.

This shot is one of the few normal-looking shots from my Lomo 135, although even this one has been converted to black and white in Adobe Photoshop 4.0LE.

I originally shot this with Ektachrome E100GX, one of the nicest color films you can buy if you can't get Kodachrome 64 or 200. On this particular day, though, during the Prague snowstorm two weekends ago, Hlavni Nadrazi, the main train station, was so obscured in the snow that the scene was, for practical purposes, a black and white scene. Seeing the scans of my two brackets, I decided to go with the lighter and hazier one for dramatic effect, and oddly, convert it to black and white. Why not? I think it looks better this way. Maybe some of you can tell me what you think, and I can consider uploading other versions of this.
