A very popular practice for the last 30 years or so was, and still is a photographic process known as crossing, or xpro. Crossing is the process by which a roll of slide film is shot with a slight pull, then developed using C41 chemistry. The positive film is processed as negative, producing images with pastel-like, sometimes unnatural, grainy, and contrasty results. The same effects can be achieved when reversing the aforementioned process shooting a roll of C41, altering the exposure with a push or pull, then developing in E6, or slide chemistry. The process is highly unpredictable, requires a measure of practice, and depends on the specific brand and speed of film to be used. It's pretty fun, actually. But this showcase is one of alternative. This image was taken by my DSLR, and crossed using photoshop with a green/yellow tendency. I prefer the green/yellow tendency over red, it lends to a more surreal mood. My mastery of photoshop is improving. I'll be adding some more of this type.
