Like a instant image: Lately, instant photography is getting rare and at certain places, the possibility of having a film for it requires some skillful hunting. Surprisingly, this one can be your quick fix…
I had shot with an expired Fuji Provia 400F one rainy day. The fog is inevitable to appear afterwards, nevertheless I think the lighting conditions is enough for a 400-speed film. I deliberately took a few shots but ended up finishing an entire roll. Then I have it cross-processed immediately, later upon seeing my photos I was so surprised on their outcome! The colour shift is there but there is a slight distortion, quite like an effect you can get on an instant film (I think), such as Polaroid but it is much more greener and of course the fog itself helped to achieve this kind of look.
Fuji Provia 400F is the best of its kind not only because it is fine grain but also a versatile trooper. It never fails to give enough colour saturation and contrasts (especially when cross-processed) even when you are unsure of the lighting conditions, still it manages to take a good photo which is evident in my shots.
Since then, this has become my film of choice! But no matter how you use or handle this film, It’ll make you excited on what magic it can do and perhaps you’ll find yourself asking for more!
