Lomography Purple

Another great day out with LomoChrome Purple! This time it turned the grounds of Picton Castle into an otherworldly alien planet. These were all shot at 400 ISO for the stronger effect, and in really bright sunlight. A slightly less sunny day would have had more blue in the skies, which I would have preferred, but this film really does best when the sun is shining rather than overcast.

I'll always recommend LomoChrome Purple, and if you haven't tried shooting a roll you absolutely most! The key to remember is "Greens become purple, yellows become pink, blues become turquoise, reds remain red", keep that in mind and you'll have a blast!

Loved this film!

Took this lovely film to a grey overcast Paris weekend and it came out lovely - soft and ethereal pinky glow, would probably have been more pronounced in brighter weather. Dealt well with low light conditions and looked stunning. Not too overpoweringly purple for portraits and added a bit of magic to the pics. Can’t wait for it to come back in stock!

fantastically quirky film

I think I may be a little obsessed with this film. I love how it makes everything look like it's straight out of a videogame.

Still love Lomography Purple

As ever, I love Lomo Purple. I've been using it with a lot of floral and botanical photography recently, including taking a roll to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, and the results are beautifully alien.

It's still better for landscape over more close up detail shots - it's prone to some (really really annoying, when they're severe) turquoise artefacts which are much easier to overlook in landscape work.

How Bizarre

I'm still finding my way through the costly world of film photography, with all it's pitfalls and rewards. Playing with only 35mm for now, I've started looking for oddities for unique shots. Hoping to learn when and when not to use them.

So far this year I've been using flash in daylight on my little rangefinder. A compact point and shoot, a black and white low contrast phase. And recently, pure bizarre.
Kodak Aerochrome has had my attention recently. The images some have captured with it are wonderful. A 35mm roll today would cost you a kidney, so I've been looking around at other options. One of which being Lomography Purple with an orange filter.

The scans came back flat from the lab, which I usually prefer, but in this case, I was conscious that while correcting the colour channel curves, I could completely obscure the true colours captured on the emulsion. Not easy to get right when you can't compare with your memory of the scene.
Also note the marks on each photo. They are not dust. Whatever they are, they're present on the negatives, including on the edge by the sprocket holes. I'm not too fussed as they add to the vibes.

It's not anywhere near infrared or Kodak's Aerochrome but those reds are gorgeous! I don't know where or when, but I will be using this combo again for a red scene.

What I failed to do however, was to test without a filter. Next time… maybe.

Lomography Purple

Shot four or five rolls of Lomo Purple now, and I still absolutely love it!

These photos were from my first time shooting it at 400 iso. They were shot on a blindingly sunny day in a very green landscape, but I was still stunned by how saturated and vibrant the results were.

I have shot it more recently on a very overcast day, and I still love the results but they're very different and much moodier. Overall I'd recommend shooting a higher iso to take advantage of the increased effect, and save it for a sunny day!

The name of this product pretty much sums up what one should expect. Funky pictures, fun time!

Lush Landscapes

Perfect stock for a trip to Scotland. I wish I had two. Just really yummy to look at, the landscapes are incredible, and even vistas without greenery have a soft almost heather feeling to them.

I LOVE this film!!

I took Lomography Purple with me to the south of France, and was excited but very nervous to shoot it. I shot it over two sunny (if anything too sunny!) days, at ISO 200.

I had read "Greens become purple, yellows become pink, blues become turquoise, reds remain red" and that was largely true for my experience - although it was so sunny that a lot of my greens moved more towards pink. But I have no complaints about that, my main concern when shooting had been that I would have more purples than pink!

I'll definitely be purchasing more of this film, I'm already dying to use it on my next trip to Scotland, and I can't wait to see how it performs differently on a more moody overcast day. I do think the amount of light (and, of course, your ISO choice) has a big influence on what style of tones your images will lean towards.

For me, personally, I wouldn't use it to shoot anything other than nature and landscapes.

I only wish I could load more sample shots, because there were very very few duds!

Fascinating stuff. Love how all of this is so twisted and colourful and exciting. Adore this film.

not purple but green

a lot less purple than expected. and making photos behind a bus window was a terrible idea, it is terrible underexposed.

Violet, purple and psychedelic. What's more to say?

OK for fun..

If you want to play around with some cool effects, the film has some, especially around foliage. The shots are not very sharp and have lots of grain. It's very hit and miss how the colour will turn out developed. I enjoyed playing around with this but as with all the lomography film, it has little professional application and its overpriced for a "fun film" in my opinion.
