HARMAN RED 125 Redscale 35mm Film Roll - 36 Exposures for Vintage Photography | Perfect for Lomography, Creative Photography & Retro Film Effects

HARMAN RED 125 is an ISO 125 redscale film that offers photographers a unique way to experiment with striking color palettes. By reversing the film during loading, it exposes the emulsion through its base, creating surreal and moody tones of red, orange, yellow, and green. This creative choice can turn ordinary scenes into dystopian masterpieces, lending an otherworldly atmosphere to any subject. Ideal for artistic projects and photographers looking to push the boundaries of traditional film aesthetics, HARMAN RED 125 is both versatile and evocative.

Exposure and Scanning

When working with redscale film, it is crucial to understand the impact of exposure on the final image to achieve the desired creative effect. Overexposure enhances the image with finer grain and emphasizes warm tones like red and orange, creating a dramatic, high-contrast look. On the other hand, underexposure brings out coarser grain, deep shadows, and a subtle green tint, lending an atmospheric and moody quality to the photograph. Normal exposure strikes a balance, yielding standard grain with stronger orange tones and softer shadows. Processing redscale film in standard C41 or CN16 chemicals ensures optimal results without requiring special adjustments for bracketed exposures. It is worth noting that, unlike traditional color films, the emulsion layer on redscale film is reversed. For photographers who wish to experiment further, the orientation of the emulsion can be adjusted using a reloadable cartridge. Scanning redscale negatives is straightforward on most commercial film scanners, and tools like Digital ICE in C41-processed films can assist in automating the removal of dust and scratches for a cleaner final image.
