It was in 2006, we went to London on a weekend and I took my Lubi. If I’m not wrong, I was testing a Fuji Provia 400 ASA, x-pro. I went to the lab to have it developed. The following day, I picked up the roll from the lab and went to my office. I had no film scanner there, so I looked at the negatives, without taking them out from the envelope, putting them below the lamp. As I was very excited and couldn’t wait more, with one hand I was standing them up, and with the other had took my digital camera, zoom it, and took a picture of the negative (still inside the envelope). I downloaded the picture to my computer, opened it on Photoshop, crtl-i (invert colors), then shift-crtl-l (autolevels) and…voila! I got the picture! I could see more or less what the result would be when I could scan the negatives at the proper scanner… but I got and amazing textured effect due to the semi-transparent paper from the envelope. It was an analogue texturing effect!
