SUMMARY

Jason Kummerfeldt of grainydays explores five experimental film photography techniques using only inexpensive supplies and creative gear hacks. These include recreating green fluorescent casts with gel filters, simulating RGB scanning with basic filters on a Leica M10 Monochrom, and a digital-to-film workflow by rephotographing digital files onto film for added texture. The experiments also cover pushing Kodak Ektachrome E100 two stops and faking moonlight effects on slide film using a blue filter and underexposure.
