Film: Land of the Red Sun - Cinestill 400d (pulled one stop)

Rick Alarcon is a US photographer in Paris , France, specializing in portraits, events, and artistic photography.

I wouldn’t recommend accidentally pulling Cinestill 400d, unless you really like the halation effect (that kind of glowing red halo around the lights - see ‘halo’). It seems to wash the entire image in a red cast; not something I’d like to spend the hours needed to correct. I’ve been switching between different cameras and setups lately, that I think I forgot to reset this roll (I will hardly ever pull film), also was messing around with in-camera double exposing (see ‘essentially’), but it was interesting to see despite the unintended results. Pulling not only exaggerated the red casting, but also seemed to splash some red light leak-looking things (see ‘lightest part’ and ‘homilies’) onto the image. Fingers crossed its the film and not a camera problem.
