Pushing It

Fed my SX-70 with a pack of PX70 Color Shade PUSH film that I bought recently and after figuring out what I need to do to ‘push’ … I gave it a go. Somehow I still prefer the Artistic Z film but well … I was curious …

I like the cool black cover it spits out. 😛

This one above is the first shot. I was a little shocked when the film ‘spit out’ from the camera was blue (on the image area). Took quite a while and finally the photo turned out pretty cool. A little warm cast and I read that shooting indoors reduces the blue-ish tint that the film might give. Damn … I’m confused with all these film and what we need to do to get certain results. Anyway, since it is said that the development will not stop unless I peel it apart (too lazy to read how it is done) … I have to make sure I scan it now before it mutates into some other result (or will it not?).

I burned 5 shots (outta 8!) in this first attempt. You can only find 3 photos here (excluding the black cover) because I screwed up! While adjusting the angle to shoot … I accidentally pressed the darn shutter release button!!!! ZAAAAAAAAAPPP!!! There goes one into the bin. 🙁 The 2nd one died in some other tragic experiment. 🙁 I decided to stop and keep the 3 remaining ones for another day. 😛

I’m itching to try out some black & white ones but my wallet is asking me to reconsider because my trigger happy habit might cause some severe damage. 🙁
