Beautiful!

Striking, yet realistic and subtle.

I like cross processing. I am gonna shoot primarily in BW, cos it is the best way to learn to shoot 'properly'. Also, it is cheaper to self-process. But if I do shoot colour I only want to cross-process. Slide film's usually more expensive than negative though, huh?

Anyway, this shot is why I love cross-processing! A little more grain would be nice, but you have achieved lovely colours- nice and subdued adding to the relaxing feel of it!

I would like to try and shoot in BW, but BW film for a Holga is hard to come by where I'm from. I don't actually do the processing of the film, but I do tell the processing lab/center where I have my films developed to cross-process them - I love the vivid colors that usually come out from Xpro. And yeah, slide film's more expensive so I don't get to buy as much film as I want because I need to eat too.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll keep in mind what you said next time I shoot with my Holga.

Lol, not sure if I ever heard it shortened to 'Xpro'. But now I know!

Yeah, it is hard to balance eating and shooting, as both are essential.

Don't listen to me, I dunno what I am talking aboot!

I just heard the term from people online, they usually use that to shorten crossprocess (because it is a long word to type! XD)

I recently bought some 35mm to experiment with, since it's cheaper.

Yeah, I use it all the time now!

That's cool, look forward to these experiments.
