Want to try something new ? Do you love coarse grain and strange colors ? Overexpose your films ! -For sure it's unthinkable to do this sort of stuff that I might be ruining my shots, but that is indeed the point of this tipster! So are you willing to take the risk?

To be honest, the first time, I didn’t make it on purpose. More, when I saw the results I was angry at myself :
“Oh no ! Stupid idiot ! You forgot to put the ISO button on the right setting and you spolied the film !”
It happens too when the weather is very sunny and when I shoot with my horizon kompakt. But, at second glance, I finally found these shots interesting : the tones are very pale, subjects looks like ghosts, and when the films is x-processed, the colors are even madder!.
So, try it : Overexpose 2 or 3 steps with negative films. More with slide films is risky, maybe the pics will be blank. With a little practice, doing this is nothing but a piece of L0mo goodness!
