Recently, I have been reading a lot of articles of other lomographers about destroying their films to produce different effects such as baking the film, putting it in the dishwasher, and soaking it in various solutions (lemon juice, vodka, tea, and even urine!). I got curious that I wanted to try one for myself but I was unsure because I might end up destroying the film completely. I wouldn't want that to happen since I'm kinda low on C-41 films right now - all I have left are mostly slide films which I can't really use 'cause I don't know a place that processes it. I only have my films processed at Costco but they only do C-41 so yeah. I'm still searching for a place though. :)
Going back, I've finally decided to try one since I was really inspired by the results of other people's experiments. Plus I could have something else to do other than reading and watching a bunch of series all day. Hoho :P
So, I've chosen to try bleaching my film for my first experiment. I wanted to try using lemon juice but we don't it so I opted for this one. Also, I loved the results the bleach made from this article so I gave it a try. I just completely followed the instructions however I don't have a martini shaker so I just used a normal jar instead. I also did this after using the film from our trip in Myrtle Beach (separate post). But you can do this before using the film as well, it doesn't really matter. ;)
While I was drying it, I kinda felt like I was doing it wrong and I might have exposed the film so I was really nervous that I won't have any photos from my only summer trip this year. Hehez. But, luckily I got it right and I got beautiful results which I will blog on a separate post. :)
Now I'm pretty much confident - and excited on trying another experiment for my next roll. Toodles! x
