Hallo Internet,
I picked up a cassette of 126 film at a flea market a couple of weeks back. I developed the photos that were on it and posted them online. Here are the results:

The film was just standard C41 film and so I put it through a standard C41 process. The image quality is poor, but then again, the images aren't exactly thrilling either.
So, if you want to see someone else's poorly-taken, poorly developed, highly degraded holiday snaps from c1983, take a look. If you don't, I won't blame you.

Trichromes Part II
Two my two dear followers - you've stuck around for the 15 months since my last post. Here is a reward:
I've made some more Trichrome images using HP5+ film exposed at EI 200 through RGB filters and developed for 10mins at 19C in HC-110 dilution H.
Layers were manoeuvered and colourised using GIMP and the instructions found here.
You can also use Paint.NET for this; the two are extremely similar.
Another blogger has also given a good explanation here.
This technique has been around since James Clerk Maxwell, who, in his time between deriving the fundamental building blocks of electromagnetism and reducing them into four extremely simple equations (which are a total nightmare to actually use, I might add - the bane of my third year of my physics degree) decided that he might like to have a colour photograph of some tartan that he owned, rather than a boring black and white one that didn't show all the lovely colours in it.
He took pictures through coloured filters, and then projected the three images back through the same filters that he had used to take them. The resulting picture - the first colour picture ever taken - can be found here.
Anyway, here are my pictures. You can see things that have moved by the fact that they're monochrome primary additive colours (R,G,B if they were white) or monochrome primary subtractive colours (C, M,Y, if they were dark).
