Despite the fact that it's a lomo-hipster biz ploy, I redscaled some old, expired Fuji Superia 200 I got as part of a lot and loaded it up in my SRT102, set the meter at ASA25, and headed out for Central Park with my 28mm, 50mm, and 70-150mm. To make this slightly different from ... every ... other ... time ... I've shot Central Park (
), I decided to go up the west side instead of the east side which I normally do.
I processed these in Lightroom as I normally process color film ... I scan it with no correction (not even to counteract the orange mask) and then use the LR white balance selector to pick a black area of the photo. That normally gets me really close to a "correct" color palate, and I can do minor color correction from there. In this case I did no further color correction, and left whatever weird color-shifting was there. As roughly predicted by 02Pilot, the more underexposed the shot was (and consequently, the more I had to boost exposure in LR), the more red the picture came out. But I never did get anything even close to true color, the best I got was yellow or green. Guess you really gotta shoot it >4 stops to see a decently close color palate. Or maybe it's that this roll of film was stored in a desert for 15 years
