These photos are essentially test photos – an experiment with physical filters in front of a film camera with B&W film. No further editing was done to them, apart from automatically inverting the negatives into positives by the software that handles the scanned negatives (with a linear gamma tone curve). The visual effect comes from a physical Red filter and a circular polariser in front of the camera lens. It’s the first time I did this. The effect is a dark sky and clouds will be high contrast. It works best with a deep blue sky, low pollution, and low humidity, so London isn’t the best place for that.
I thought I share them here, maybe somebody would find them interesting.
Dramatically shite east London… not got much to work with there tbf…
I found number 8 pretty dramatic. Looks quite off-putting to me in real life but the picture make it look cool.
