Lomography Lomochrome Turquoise

"I think if sadness was a film stock, this is what it would look like." I kinda dig that sad look of the redscale...

[@jaywhangmakes]

If I see attic darkroom, I immediately hit like.

[@Chase-vd4ow]

I love how it seems like you ask yourself “what if I did this with that?” And then you do it and upload the results to KZbin. I love these videos because it gets my mind thinking of all the things I could do but have never thought to try with my photography. Love your work! Thanks for the informative video!

[@atticdarkroom]

I figure if I'm curious about something someone else might be as well.

[@newvague3022]

Hearing that Purple has swapped blue and green channels and Turquoise has swapped blue and red channels is immediately sending me over to Photoshop to see what it looks like to swap the green and red channels.

[@newvague3022]

Update: looks bad.

[@tobywhite561]

@@newvague3022 Does it look similar to Lomochrome at all?

“If sadness was a film stock” love it haha ❤

I might have to give this a try next time I'm at a indie rock shoegazing misery concert

We just witnessed the birth of bluescale film

[@filmismorefun]

"If sadness was a film stock this would be it" 😂 Killer video man.

[@MrDeelightful]

Thank you so much for breaking down the colour channel swapping. It gives me a much better idea on how to use them. Your succinct technical breakdown will really help me visualize better what the final photo will look like. Great vid!

[@joey.leblanc]

These videos are so underrated. It's really interesting to learn about this stuff, and the "secret" behind how Lomochrome Purple and Turquoise work. I always find these videos incredibly entertaining, thank you so much for exploring this!

[@ArtexandreFuzaro]

My brother in Christ, shoot Kodak 2383 Print film, you're gonna love it. We've been shooting a lot of this film here in Brasil🇧🇷. You get beautiful pink, blue and purple tones at ISO 12-25, and more natural looks at ISO 6. I just love using it!

[@markerzy]

This and sixstringtv are the most underrated channels on youtube i swear to god

[@jonnoMoto]

It'd be interesting to compare turquoise/purple, after fixing the colour swap, with metropolis to see if they are all the same basic film

[@cesaralpuche7422]

It may not be your personal style but would you consider shooting portraits for your next video? I feel like many of your experiments can be interesting and more descriptive if we got humans involved! Love your videos as always!

Sweet vid! Now its beginning to make some sense here! Thank you! 3:22 Someone help Homer, he's been in the shrub too long LOL!

LET'S GOOO new attic darkroooom love that redscale look!

[@user-jb4of2xj7r]

I had the same light leak issue with Lomo 800. Great video as usual. And thank you for your explaining the principle of Lomochrome film stock.

[@SISSI_LU]

This is so helpful, thank you for the breakdown 👍

[@heartshapedfilms]

Loved the bleach bypass

[@goldenfurniture123]

type in here: Watch as I struggle through *shooing* five rolls of Lomochrome Turquoise.

[@SinaFarhat]

Cool! :) Thanks for the testing and playing around with the film!

[@michael_177]

@attic darkroom You took one for the team homie. Salute. For real though, thank you so much for sharing this with us!

[@michaelacookePDX]

Glad I found your video. I just picked a roll today at Blue Moon Camera. St. Johns Bridge was one idea I had for it.

[@goldenfurniture123]

and the cross process was cool too i dont know a singular thing but your channel is helping me learn

[@jakewestbrook3214]

here's what you do- you shoot red subjects, then you get to see the weird colors. also, Lomography 120 film is prone to light leaks. just the nature of the beast.

[@AMTunLimited]

According to math, there should be 6 permutations of channel swap. I wonder if Lomography will eventually put them all out...

[@atticdarkroom]

I hope so. But seeing as how it took them years to re-release turquoise I'd imagine it's difficult to make the stuff.

[@AMTunLimited]

@@atticdarkroom I assume it's difficult to make *anything* new in the space. From a technical standpoint, I'd assume it's like swapping a few bottles around in the emulsion coating process, but that means spinning up an entirely new production line. Or they scooped up a whole bunch of manufacturing defect...

[@AMTunLimited]

@@ThornHawthorne You might be thinking of two-swaps (rb, rg, and gb). There's also two permutations that rearrange all three (r->b, g->a, b->g and r->g, g->b, b->a) and one "identity", which is no swaps.

Hey! A new attic darkroom video, i guess this is the midnight no sleep bonus

[@nantxcel9005]

Those redscale shots really dose look like from some post ww2 cold war film, absolutely love them!

[@jimhofman3179]

I also bought 5 rolls of 120 size and shot the first roll last weekend. I waited for a deep blue sky and bright light and the orange/turquoise effect turned out perfect. I rated the film at 200 ISO. I need to check the negs for the light leaks you mentioned. Maybe problems in their converting process?

[@atticdarkroom]

I'm fairly certain it's user error on some part, but not sure exactly what. The C41 roll was developed in a lab. I scanned it with a flatbed and mirrorless camera and still got similar results.

[@jimhofman3179]

@@atticdarkroom I just checked my film borders and it also had light leaks similar to a fat roll.

[@atticdarkroom]

Interesting. Thanks for checking. If I had to guess I'd say it's because the backing paper is shorter in length, but I can't say for certain.

[@MisterSirenius]

Regarding the light leaks: i get the same leaks with Lomo color and purple films. I noticed that the spools are a lot more flat on the inside of the flange compared to any other spool I happen to have. There is usually a noticeable dip towards the center - but barely any on my Lomography spools.

[@francesarpaia]

Thanks you for this!

[@dooterino]

I'd be curious to see if those light leaks show up if you develop a frame or so of completely unexposed film. Maybe it's a factory defect?

[@atticdarkroom]

That could be interesting to test. I do know that the backing paper on Lomo film is shorter than Kodak or Ilford. If I had to guess I'd wager it's because it has less paper wound on the spool so there's an increased chance of leaks.

[@in4kdaysaroundtheworld380]

How did we deserve this man?

[@matthewharry677]

Only ever had light leaks like this when I tried lomo 800 once. Never had it with any other film

[@thedingoplays1835]

Yes

[@santichapela]

very interesting insights!!

[@quasarcreator]

I've noticed those light leaks on a bunch (but not all of the lomography rolls I've shot) but never on rolls by Kodak, fuji, etc.

[@andrewbroekhuijsen6770]

Really cool explanation of how swapping color layers in the emulsion results in the turquoise or purple effects. And I agree, that redscaled roll actually looked kinda sick.

[@tylerhuttosmith]

Still waiting on my Lomo Turquoise order to come in, but thanks for doing this!

[@besimai]

Wow, i never know how they made the emulsion 🖤🖤🖤

[@goldenfurniture123]

redscale epic

[@ale_s45]

No combined redscale bleach bypass cross processing developed in root beer, I'm disappointed

[@3DollarColorplus]

Big fan of the redscale look, never thought I'd want to shoot lomo turquoise but now I'm interested. How do you redscale 120 film though?

[@nicksucio]

Very interesting process What iso did you shoot these all on? I dig the orange roll, kinda like redscale oh, the last roll is redscale haha "if sadness was a film stock" very true

[@jezheywood9608]

Redscaled makes it look a lot like Metropolis

[@mikekennethdevine]

Someone who just started watching your channel might think that not knowing how to shoot film is what took you to 15k followers aha

[@atticdarkroom]

You're not that far off.

[@moritzengel]

I noticed the light leaks on other lomo films to :/

[@clockyfemme]

Hmm, the results from the redscaled version seem almost like it went colour blind.

[@goldenfurniture123]

i liked the bleach

[@pnwsnewton]

So what's the secret sauce of lomochrome metropolis, anyone know?

[@manuelgrande4905]

Why you don't ever take portraits!! I want to see a rescaled portrait shot with lomo turquoise!

[@NathanButh]

Man, i really want to just shoot a bunch of it "redscaled" now

[@benjaminvleugels5609]

But what if you cross process redscale it tho ? Btw great video as always! always love the experimentation.

[@jeremyloveslinux]

Would love a high quality scan of the photo at 4:02.

[@foveon4sigma]

I need red scale E-6

[@SaxSpy]

since it says 100-400, whats the best iso to shoot at?

[@kaniskashardajones9]

I'm thinking of redscaling a roll of lomo turquoise in 35mm, what iso did you rated yours at to get those results? :)

[@atticdarkroom]

I overexposed one to two stops.

[@Erutrepa]

What do you use to scan your negatives? I've been thinking about using a lightpad and a macro lens on my phone as a cheapo scanner since I can't afford one at the moment and wondered what your thoughts were/ what you use for your scans

[@goldenfurniture123]

what kind of area are you in to get all these shots of broken stuff

[@Folly_Inds]

worth noting, the preferred iso is not the same as Lomo purple. from what I gleaned online the Turquoise is much more prominent higher ISOs and unlike purp doesn't completely fuck the image... maybe because its already fucked but hay whatever

[@Jolanda789]

And what if you printed it in a darkroom? Some film stocks tend to have different tonalities if printed that way

[@bosstowndynamics5488]

In E6 this looks kind of like it's orange scale

[@otherSmallCities]

Interesting. I shot my first roll at 160 and it looks boring to orange. And that was on a sunny day at the sea. Next gonna try at 400, but I don’t have much hope for this. Sad. How do you scan it? Camera scan or flatbed?

[@atticdarkroom]

Flatbed. But I did a camera scan and got the same result.

[@otherSmallCities]

@@atticdarkroom interesting. Thank you. I use an older canon flatbed plus silverfast. I do wonder if this would look different if it’s scanned with a noritsu, but I doubt that. Thank you!!

[@hyukku_img]

my friend please make a test with lomochome purple xr

[@HikingwiththeBlindBoomer]

What not to do with this film? Buy it. I had a roll come out loosely wound from the camera. I'm expecting light fogging. I haven't had that problem with other brands of film.

[@biglenslittlelens8162]

I shot one roll so far of my order and it came out as expected. I shot it at 100 and 400 on a sunny day and it worked fine. No issues at all somehow - dud rolls ?

[@gusatvoschiavon]

[@Shrek_Has_Covid19]

confirmed lomochrome uses monkeys to put the film on the spools before they sell it

Hey dude! You should check out caffenol developing. Seems like a cool experiment right up your alley. Love the videos btw
