Redscale is a technique where film is exposed on the wrong side — rather than having the light hit the emulsion directly, you expose the film through the non-sensitive side.

The name “redscale” comes because there is a strong color shift to red due to the red-sensitive layer of the film being exposed first, rather than last (the red layer is normally the bottom layer in C-41 (color print) film). All layers are sensitive to blue light, so normally the blue layer is on top, followed by a filter. In this technique, blue light exposes the layers containing red and green dyes, but the layer containing blue dye is left unexposed due to the filter. [#] The two main ways for doing this are loading the film upside down (if your camera allows it), or by purchasing film that has been “converted” already.

A third way is to make DIY redscale film by going into a darkroom, pulling out the film, cutting it, flipping it, taping it back together, and then winding it back into the canister.

To learn how to build one of these for yourself, head on over to the tutorial through the following link: The fisheye tin cam (via Photojojo) Image credits: Photographs by Bhautik Joshi and used with permission.
