This week as part of my experimenting with film and the Holga I shot my first ever roll of Redscale. Now with my limited knowledge and a quick google check, this is where the film is reversed so you shoot through the back of the film and thus the red layer is exposed first. I also took the opportunity to try a couple of multiple exposures
So what have I discovered:
- i like redscale but need to experiment more with it
- looks like the longer you expose it the ‘less red’ it becomes, I guess as the light has more time to get through to the film
- when shooting certain types of multiple exposure, should probably use a tripod
- Everything is the wrong way round as you are shooting through the back
as per previous I am posting these with out any adjustments, good or bad so we can see what is going on in camera. Enjoy
Redscale Images:
Double multiple exposure:
Four times multiple exposure:
Five times exposure, would be better with a tripod
I tried a red scale roll earlier in the year but didn’t extent the exposure time at all. As a result, I got nothing at all. These are cool…

Thank you. I think it will take a few trys with different types of light to try and get used to this

Very informative. I have some of this film but have not shot it. Did you use the actual “Redscale” film or did you just reverse a regular color roll? I love the very last shot!!!
