A fond and festive example of static discharge

Joseph Bell · Apr 12, 2022

Hello! I was trying out a roll of Cinestill 800 for the first time. The conditions were foggy and wet, and I was on the shores of Lake Ontario. I was surprised (almost pleasantly) by the kooky results! Every frame on the roll has at least a little bit of fond and festive lightning, so to speak.

Hey, maybe that film will be good for Kirlian photography....

Interesting, I've never had that happen, with the Cinestill I've used. You wouldn't think it would happen in a humid environment.

well, the rem jet that they omit is an ANTI_STATIC layer.

This is definitely due to the missing remjet. The static discharge is on the remjet (backside) of the film, as it is red.

Could be fun to explore further creatively.
Made me think of Hiroshi Sugimoto's Lightening fields.
