Advertisement Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 Hi stray cat, Take a look here I like film...(open thread). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
stray cat Posted January 28, 2018 Share #46562 Posted January 28, 2018 That's very kind of you to say, Phil. Regrettably, so many views of London and so little Color Implosion to do it with. The concept is appealing though. Pete. I'm almost tempted to suggest that, as a group, we write to Adox and ask them to consider releasing some more. There seems to be a lot of interest amongst "our lot" to get our hands on some. I don't know what it would take to make a production run economically viable for them though. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be a lot of interest amongst "our lot" to get our hands on some. I don't know what it would take to make a production run economically viable for them though. I have asked them through their Facebook page to produce more but sadly I've had no response. But if enough people lobbied through different media then, who knows, that might be enough to persuade them to produce another run. The website describes Color Implosion as an "experimental" emulsion but it's not clear whether it was a commercial experiment, a technical experiment, or some other type. If it was a commercial one then calls to produce more couldn't hurt ... Pete. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A miller Posted January 29, 2018 Share #46568 Posted January 29, 2018 Thanks, Phil. You make all film stocks sing. Thank you Adam. I do miss Plus-X - is there a film we don't miss? I used it a bit but probably used FP4 a bit more at the time. I don't think of it as you describe, but as a film that had the most wonderful greys. It really stands out to me now that I scan these pictures again. Films - even films that share similar DNA - have characteristics that subtly (mostly) differentiate them from their brethren. I'd like to be able to say that I have always chosen them largely because of their unique characteristics - unfortunately it's most often for far more practical reasons than that - being availability and cost! This really works Adam. If it were possible that a still photograph could be full of motion, this would be the one. Look at those clouds - they seem to move even as you look at them. On a large print this would be almost hypnotic. Totally agree, too on your thoughts on a) the thread and reworking images. As cool as this film is, I think this film is one of the most challenging film stocks to make sing. You need just the right subject matter otherwise the photos ends up looking like a time-wasting muddy mess. Not a lot (or at least not enough) of photographers are up to the challenge, at least in a way that will lead to frequent-enough use.

I'm also wishing Kodak would bring back Plus-X.

When I spoke to Process last December they were hopeful of another batch this month, January. Current status is showing no stock. I've tried as many EU based suppliers as I could, all without stock. Importing from outside the EU becomes financially questionable. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose my consideration regarding CI is /was different not having used any yet (I have one roll waiting in the fridge). I take your word based on your infinitely superior knowledge (me = 0, you >1; 1/0 is a big number).I wonder if there's a way of obtaining a similar odd response from regular film stock, like dunking in some form of household cleaning stuff from under the sink. (There's a guy on Flickr who pre-soaks his film at 0C in an automatic washing machine!) Edited January 29, 2018 by Steve Ricoh 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

farnz Posted January 29, 2018 Share #46574 Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) in the shadows of a narrow alleyway strewn with obsolete film canisters and discarded, curly, brown plastic strips with tell-tale sprocket holes two strangers approached one another guardedly. A faraway siren sounds mournfully in the background. The first man speaks and says "I've been expecting someone. Are you ... " The other replies quickly "Yes. Do you have it with you?" "Yes," said the first man, "Are you sure you want it?" The second man notices a brief metallic reflection from something hanging from a leather strap over the first man's shoulder and immediately starts to relax. No digital cameras to worry about here. "Yes I do!" replied the second man, "It's very high on my list." A package passes quickly between them, unseen by others and the deal is done. The Adox Color Implosion has found its mark. The men part without further ado apart from a quick coffee and chat about emulsion and addiction. Such is a brief glimpse into a post-Color Implosion world.

Not a lot (or at least not enough) of photographers are up to the challenge, at least in a way that will lead to frequent-enough use. I still have my five precious rolls of Color Implosion and am really looking forward to the challenge of making it at least hum. It's interesting - if you look it up on Flickr (OK not as a rule the greatest source for inspirational photography) the Color Implosion shots are very much like the time-wasting muddy mess you mention. Yet without fail the shots I've seen posted on this very thread are inspirational to say the least. But that's what differentiates good photographers - and when it does sing, it's like Jim Morrison, Elvis and Janis all warbling at the top of their form. A very "fine art" film in the right hands. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam, I couldn't imagine you delivering the goods without having a friendly chat and, since it's New York, Guinness seemed unlikely. If it was me then, yes, a Guinness for sure.
