    I love the photo…any chance of a tutorial on how to get that effect??
    And Sue, everyone is mean from time to time. When some arrogant twit feels the need to berate you just for being a woman, that twit bloody well deserves it. :-D

    I’m not talking about Heather. She’s awesome. Period.

    This “effect” is called cross-processing because you shoot one kind of film (slide or print) and have it developed as the opposite. The color shift and graininess are a result of the chemical process. I did do some sharpening and color work, as this is a scan, but I didn’t use the software to get the overall look. That’s the fun of analog photography… alas, it’s also expensive.

    very expensive, unfortunately. I have ab&w darkroom set up at home, most of the stuff was my father’s.. he used to shoot weddings and portraits.. but i have to share the space with the laundry room and dad’s computer graveyard that always seems to matriculate INTO my chemical pans… stil figuring out how that keeps happening ;) .. an y way„ i always end up mixing up a batch of chemicals.. get maybe 5 or 6 prints made and then boom.. the computer shelf has thrown up on my table and by the time it gets cleaned off the chemicals are bad..
    bad chemicals.. BAD!

    or should tha tbe bad dad, BAD!

    Shit. Sorry Blurb. You may flog me with noodles now.

    Oh yes, I like your new shaven-ed look. Very nice.

    Ach! I was a photography major before I switched to Acctg(stupid me). I remember late nights, slowly developing film the day before a project was due. It didn’t matter whether you had a great eye…if you screwed up the processing, you were screwed. Still…seeing an image emerge on photo paper after running it through the chemical baths was an experience that I would equate with giving birth(though decidedly less painful).
