I'd shoot it at box speed Laurens, better to underexpose than blow out the highlights with slide film.

Thanks Laurens! Yup, northern end of Perthshire.

A lone adolescent Scots Pine stands amongst the heather, basking in sunlight and surveying the mixed spruce and larch woodland skirting the hazy mountains beyond. Wispy clouds impress light moving textures across the sky like gentle brushstrokes from a tired but happy Bob Ross.

I feel pretty lucky to have landscape like this a short walk from my back door. I still need to work on my developing time with #Caffenol and Rollei ir400, but I’m pretty happy to be getting some results. Snapped with my OM1n.

Hey Laurens, I've got some half frame shots from the start of Sept so could get them scanned and maybe contribute one. Is submission only via the form that requires a google account or can we just tag a pic #wwhfpd25 and it'll get included?

Sunlight sparkles off the leaves of wild plants and trees that carpet the rugged foreground, in the distance clouds kiss the mountain tops as they drift through a summer sky.

I tend to get pretty desaturated skies with lomochrome and I'm not really sure if it’s down to shooting it at 100 iso, or it’s just how the film is in general. I still love the look anyway.

An old well trodden path ascends through ancient oak woodland, its flanking battlements of mossy dry stone wall catch dappled sunlight and shelter travellers as they pass along the ferny floor.

Some nice light on the old road just before the leaves begin to turn for autumn. Fujifilm point and shoot with @harmanphoto.co.uk Phoenix 200, shot at 100 ISO and processed in the kitchen sink.

This is so cool. I developed a roll of Kodachrome in caffenol ages ago but kind of forgot about it as it looked a bit underdeveloped and I hadn't worked out how best to scan it. Great to see some good results as inspiration.

NP, you'll get a tutorial on YT for these, they're fairly simple.

My guess would be lens misalignment, possibly even just one of the elements if it has had a knock or been dissasembled in the past.

Light dappled moss covered boulders in the foreground lead past an old tree to a sunlit glen, and on to the hazy peaks of the mountains in the distance.

Little summer glen, captured with a Fujifilm point and shoot on my first roll of @harmanphoto.co.uk Phoenix 200.
I shot this at 100 ISO, processed it with fairly old Tetenal chemicals, and I’m actually really happy how the pics turned out. Feels like it did on the day.

That's interesting Bob, cool to hear how versatile film use was. I guess the film still available today probably wouldn't be sensitive enough for that sort of thing. The stock I used here is classed more as near infrared I think.

I’ve been doing some leisurely experimenting with Rollei infrared, so it’s been great to have a glimpse of sunshine here in Scotland.

This is a half frame shot from my first roll processed in D76 (just Caffenol and C41 prior to this).

Purple grassland and shrubbery lead through ancient stonework to a city sprawling across the hillsides beyond. Blue grey clouds break open in curtains of rain across the illuminated horizon in the distance.

Or just on the grey concrete because it should be fairly neutral.

Have you tried just clicking the white balance dropper on your black borders? That should remove the colour cast from the film stock.
