Another accidental trick and this one looks great too!
After buying my Diana+ and knowing I can place a 35mm film inside it, I decided to buy some negative films. Placing them inside requires a lot of effort: sponges, electrical black tapes and avoiding the light leaks is the most important for this one.
I forgot to place a black tape over the film counter of the Diana+ at the back. What did I get? A yellow notch, more like a strange drone that is infesting over the center of my photo. What’s best is that it looks redscale and cross-processed all over. I love the effect especially on my outdoor shots. It created a special colour that somehow mimics of how that little slide film gets all the attention.
So the next time you want some funky colours, try to forget placing a black tape or miserably, DO NOT cover the film counter at the back. It looks funky, yes!

Same thing happened to me on my Holga when i jammed some 35mm into it. I got a red square in the middle of each photo that looks quite cool!

Oh yeah that's cool ! It happened to me the first time I putted 220 film in my Holga (as there's no paper in the 220, like in the 120)... Great gallery !

I didn't know we were supposed to cover that film counter.
I'm still having problems getting photos that are something other than gray. Why is it that I just can't get those silly settings right?
