Interesting result from the SFX, these almost look embossed. Is that normal or did you do something to enhance the result.

No trickery from me. This is what the prints look like (actually they look better than this). I don't know if it's normal for this film when used like this as I have not used it like this before but it does give a nice old fashioned grainy look which seems to suit the snowy subject matter quite well.

Yes i have a couple of roll to try myself that why I was interested in your photos (other than the visual value) interesting you say old fashion, at first I thought they were on ortho lith film.

Nice series Steve

Palm Trees and snow - not a great combination

Can you explain the thinking of SFX and Snow ?

Thanks

Martin

The thinking behind the SFX and snow combination was: "I'm going out for a walk in the snow, I think I will take a camera. What film have I got? Oh, only some old SFX!".

I would have prefered some FP4+ but I do like how these have turned out.

The shots have come out well Steve

I was just wondering if you had a "Cunning Plan" as Baldrick from Blackadder used to say for SFX and Snow

Such serendipitous experiments like this can open whole new avenues to our photography
