Every year I like to experiment with some unusual film types.
(I share links at the end of this post.)
Toronto in Turquoise
This blog post is about Lomography Turquoise XR film.
It is one of several film types that shift colours.
In this case it really highlights orange and turquoise.
Reflective City #2
Lomography states that this film:
"...turns yellows and reds into blues, blues into yellows and bright oranges, while greens and greys turn into emeralds."
Every strongly coloured scene presents an opportunity.
I took Turquoise to the Beach...
Leuty Lifeguard Station
Analogue photography naturally delivers surprises.
You wait for the film to be developed and then discover what the image actually looks like.
Colour-shifting films like Lomography Turquoise provide an extra level of surprise.
Turquoise film can add a whole new look to a portrait...
Thanks to My Pal Sammy for playing along!
I put Lomography Turquoise in my Sprocket Rocket Camera...

It feels a bit subversive, but I dared to shift the colours on paintings by Group of Seven painter Lawren Harris...
...but isn't all art a bit subversive?

I went on a road trip to NYC and put Lomography Turquoise in an untested compact camera.
The camera clearly had some light leak issues, but I still appreciate how the images looked...
