I have always wanted to try Revolog Kolor Film, but for the mean time, I tried out a DIY substite.
Revolog is a film company that sells hand-made special effects film. Among their roster, I have always wanted to try the Kolor Film, which produces photos with transitioning shades of different colors. Below is a sample image.
People have hypothesized that this is a merely pre-exposed film. While I am yet to try the actual film, I decided to experiment on double exposure to achieve the similar effect.
Using PowerPoint, I simply prepared a slide and changed its background color to one of the presets. Then, I connected my laptop to my television for a bigger display.
I loaded a color negative film onto my SLR camera and photographed the screen, with one stop underexposure. This was done repeatedly for the entire roll. Then, I reloaded the roll in my LC-A+ and took snapshots with it. Although the results are not exactly the same to that of Revolog’s, some of the photos actually turned out nicely. I hope you try it!
Walking Through Quiapo A trip, deep into the heart of Manila, along the Quiapo streets less taken. It can be argued the the district of Quiapo is the very heart of the Manila; a microcosms of sort. It is divided by Quezon Boulevard into two general areas. In the better known part, one can locate the Quiapo Church, Raon, and the haven for photographers, Hidalgo Street. The other side, however, seems to be typically less explored by local tourists.
Of Zombies and Ladies that Look like Dudes It's a good thing to be surrounded by a lot of people willing to be cast in odd portraits. Last April 15, our group, Shutter Revolution, celebrated its first anniversary. We gathered at the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center for a mustache picnic party. About 40 of us came, each bringing food contributions. With so many friends whom I share the same hobby with around, I decided to take portraits of them. I had two concepts in mind.

Thanks for trying that out. I was thinking about exactly the same. I made some bokeh or galaxy films with that technique before and I'm always getting asked how that can be achieved! Great work! The results are amazing and saved me a lot of trying, guessing and hoping :)
A-mazing! I was considering using a similar technique for an idea I can no longer remember. When you rewind the film after the first set of exposures I presume you just feel for the slight 'give' rather than retracting the film all the way into the roll?
