I'm glad they kept the carnival open during the wildfires.

Only then, they can charge extra money for their „Extra Smokey Cotton Candy“

This is wild that it's a photograph! What made the sky orange like that?

Looks like a scene from a scary movie where some shit I don't want to see is about to happen! Cue the music. 🎶🎵

I‘ll just copy the explanation from one Hamish Gill on 35mmc

The reason it goes red is because the when you shoot colour film the wrong way round, the red layer is facing out first instead of last. As a result, the light hits the film red side first, and since this isn’t how it is supposed to be used, you get red photos. In theory, the more you expose it, the more light will travel through to the layers beyond and you will eventually start to see more other colours. In reality though, results tend to consist of pretty much red, orange and yellow. Or, in other words, sort of post-apocalyptic looking

Wild! Thank you. Amazing technique. And you killed it!

Orange you glad you did?

Yes, yes I am. This picture came out even better than I imagined. A cloudy sky seems to help a lot with this film.

How did you like it overall? Personally I was super hyped to shoot it, but the results of my roll were honestly kinda meh. The good photos felt like they would've been better in black and white. It kinda felt like black & red film.

A mixed bag. But some pictures looked really good, and I think that’s mostly because of a cloudy sky, fog, or light from ahead.
