Experiments in film soup - part 3

I make these film soup images as a sort of special treat to myself. It's a mildly complicated process; taking pictures with an eye as to what might translate well to the format, "souping" the film in a solution for a period of time, drying the film, sending it out for processing, then slightly editing the results. (I have mine processed by film lab 135.) Part of it also accepting that a certain percentage of them will be duds. But when I get a set like this, where everything worked, it is entirely worth it. These fill me with joy, as I love a good alternative version of reality.

My camera here was a vintage Nikon N6006, which is rapidly becoming my favorite. I enjoy the interface, it's easy to use, and I like the vibe of the pictures it takes. Film was Kodak Max 400, which is easily available. I souped the film with lime juice.

 

This next set of pictures was taken near the Northwest Lancaster County River Trail.

I've taken a bunch of photos of these structures in the past, but souping takes them to another level.

This is Chickies, or Chiques, rock, located along the trail, and again I've got a zillion pictures of it, both the ground view and from the top, but these give me a sweet new perspective.

Hope you enjoyed these!
