Today is a fresh new day. What are you doing inside? Go out and photograph something special!

The first day of spring captured at Roger Williams Park in Providence, RI.

Created using my Diana+ with 20 year expired AGFA RS100 slide film, cross processed with C41. Negative scanned with my Epson v700 Perfection scanner. No digital manipulation used!

    That unexpected red color adds interest for me. I like the soft focus white tree against the cyan sky.

    This is even beyond the pleasure of the sight of a tree covered by snow in beautiful winter...

    Nice little light leak, or is that red something else? . The color combination is very cool indeed.

    Jim, just about all my Diana+ shots have a light leak at the same spot: here, here, and here.

    20 year expired? That's very, very impressive! I love this photography, been itching to get more into film since I was given an early 70's darkroom set a few months ago but unfortunately a) comes without a manual and b) due to saving for a dslr, I have no money to buy the loely Holga I wish for. Anyway, shots like these are great and keep me motivated to achieve the goal!
