Nala
This is the worst dog I ever had.
She would run off, stay gone for days, and then at the most inopportune moment, I'd get a call from across the river and have to go pick her up. What's worse is that she was dominant so she'd take my other dogs with her.
Luckily she ran off and was adopted by some poor mormon orphans up the road.
I guess you could say I passed the buck.

Lomography Redscale Film
So I was trying out different 35mm films, and I came across Lomography Redscale 400.
The reason it's called redscale is that the film is intentionally loaded in the canister backwards so that the red layer gets first dibbs on the light, giving the pictures a reddish hue.
The only problem is that the light must penetrate the acetate film base, which means that the film must be overexposed to get a proper exposure.
Nobody told me this.
I learned the hard way, but sometimes those are the best lessons. Anyhow, if you do it right, you can get images like this
whereas if you don't underexpose by at least a stop, this is what you'll get:

All grainy and reddish.
All in all I'd say that Redscale is a great film, and I plan on shooting with it in the future, but BE WARNED, OVEREXPOSE.
