I’ve been taking pics for a long time so generally I’m not really surprised by much when I sit down to view what I shot, be that on film or digital. I’ve figured out what kind of compositions I like and which aperture setting I should use to get a certain look, so you can only imagine my giddiness when I picked up my very first set of cross-processed prints from the lab a few weeks back. Not only was this the first time I had cross-processed, but it was expired film on top of that. Oh yeah! I couldn’t wait to look. Actually, I was terrified to look. I had absolutely NO IDEA what I would be getting. It was like Christmas! It’s diving into new things that keep photography really fun. It’s learning new techniques when you’ve got all the text book ones nailed and working new styles of shooting that keep me passionate about it. My camera is currently housing it’s third role of slide film that just can’t wait to get dipped and dunked into those C-41 chemicals and I’m still rather smitten with the fact that again, I have no idea what they’re going to look like. I found this site that has examples of different types of slide films shot against the same background so that you can see how the film affects the final result. Kris’ stream is FULL of great x-pro stuff as are a few of my other flickr heros Brian Milo and Pablo Korona

Thanks, man!
I totally agree with you on the kodak stuff. I think in general I like the slower speed film better - the 100's and 50's over the 400's. I also like the blue/aqua tones a lot more than I like the purple ones but that's just personal preference.
After checking out that site though, the next one I'm buying is AGFA RSX 50. I don't think I've ever shot an agfa film in my life but from the look of it, it's high time I start...

awesome post and i'm lovin the steeple shot. thx for the shout-out too. both from my cross-processed shots and that great example site you gave with all the samples, i'm liking the Kodak e100s and e100vs the best for shots of people i think. i'm also diggin the fuji provia 400. only 3 more days til those 7 rolls in abbottsford expire. *crosses fingers*
