My first DIY Redscale, made out of a cheap 400 ISO film

I just tried to shoot the film as fast as possible as I would like to see if building my own redscale is really so easy. Turned out it was... all pictures were definetly... well... red. Even if the software of my scanner let the pictures look a little better than they actually are, most of the pictures are pretty underexposed.

Indoor shots in winter are not the right opportunity to use a redscale film.

Shooting at night out of driving car is also something a redscale film is the wrong choice for.

The guys from the lab also added some extras... I have no idea what caused the water marks on most of the pictures.

Learnings for the next time: Need longer exposure. And better weather... summer maybe. Indoor is not good... outdoor maybe better. Sun would also be good... night not so good. Maybe check for another lab ;-)
