Been pursuing "process" rather than content recently, hence my lack of involvement in the August Challenge; this weekend I turned my hand to home colour film (C41) processing, with developer made from raw chemicals rather than a kit (or, indeed, hair-dye).
The results aren't as good as they could be - there's a bit of a magenta cast - but on the other hand I've had worse back from the minilab, and I was pleased that on my first attempt I got any images at all ... so here's a couple of examples. Tweaked a tiny bit in LR4 of course.
This is Fuji C200 film in my 20-year-old mju-1 (that'll be a Stylus to my cousines americaine). Tesco were selling off 3-packs of the fillum for £2 the other day, so of course I bought all they had on the shelf.
