Hi everyone!
surfing on the web, i found the idea of the redscale technique and loved it. so, i dyi-ed one just by now, and have a question.
original film's iso is 200, but i heard you should push it few stops up. so, how many? and how does the number affect the material?
thank you for your answers,
Magda

Hi, film goes down by one stop when it is converted to redscale. This means that 200 speed film would be reduced to 100, so if using an auto camera, set the ISO to 400 to compensate for this.
What I have said here does not accomodate expiration dates for film, so if advice is needed on this too, just ask.
Sorry, but I don't know what you mean by 'hows does the number affect the material'. Be more specififc and might be easier to help you.
Hope this helped!

(ofc, i meant to write push down, my bad
thanks for reply!
i read various articles about redscale, and different numbers of stops to push were given - 1, 2, or even 3, and i was wondering if that changes the effect, or rather leads to overexposing the image?

Overexposure is not very striking with redscale IMO, but if you shot it as if it was not redscale but normal, it would underexposed and look quite cool. The 'yellow' sort of tones come out very well when the film is underexposed, so you could just shoot it normally and see what you come up with, after all redscale is pretty experimental by nature!
