Pale Propositions
written by eggzakly on August 28th, 2009 , 6 submissions , 8 comments (8 votes)

Lomographers sometimes get so hung up on saturated colours and high contrast, that we almost entirely forget about the opposite end of the experimental spectrum: pale, washed out colours and low contrast. The technique can result in amazingly beautiful, ethereal and extremely expressive images.

I have been experimenting with this and gotten some lovely results, but I have also seen the effect taken leaps and bounds beyond what I am able to produce. So if you have something special, please don’t hesitate to submit it!

How to:
Use expired slide film, overexpose, process in E6.

    Really great results. I love the bike shadown shot. And those greenish tree shots are wicked.
