Here is a process I came across back in the 70's for very dramatic, extremely low light motion photography without flash. You can shoot in almost total darkness with faster shutter speeds. The resulting film is actually a "color" negative without the orange mask. Printing requires .2-.5 additional yellow filtration.

It is a little time consuming but can be worth the effort. This was intended for Ektachrome 200 daylight film.

The C41 bleach step after the fix will destroy part of the image due to the presence of ammonium ion. You should use a ferricyanide - bromide rehal bleach in this step or it will not yield the optimum image.

This sounds crazy, I wish there was some followup! Anybody know what this is about??

Perhaps someone could explain why this would work. If I had home C41 chems I would try this... I encourage someone to!

I would be very interested in seeing an example of this.

Ditto! Even a discussion of what's going on here would be interesting.
