What happens in you microwave it?

Metal, dyes and flammable plastics in a microwave is not the best idea.
vicuna
Cool idea! :)

Hmm! I never thought about this, but of course. Heat makes it expire faster, as cold makes it last longer. I might go to the store and buy a cheap roll of film and see how it takes. Thanks for the idea!

pangmark

Actually, I got great effects from just leaving my film out of the fridge in my (hot in August) top floor apartment, and then hauling it around in my bag all day.

I've thought about trying this for a long time, and I've been looking all over the net for someone who actually tried this, and not until now did I actually search here on lomo for it! Thanks for sharing, now I dare to try it!

Should I roast the film before or after shooting? thanks in advance! :)
lomoteddy
I was thinking it would be hotter, but that sounds about right :)

Same question: Do you bake it before or after shooting??
I would presume before...but then again I'm not completely sure.

I roast film after shooting ... But, I did it this way: I put film in the oven for 5 min, and then into the fridge to lose temperature. Next put it in the oven and fridge, again. I repeated it probably 4 times. Effect: The pictures are a little blurry, pink... and when I take it to lab... Film ripped in machine :( So, you'll take care about that ^^" [I have lucky, so I regained some photos :333.]

So next time I'll be baking cookies or cake I have to remember to pop some film in there too!
