Rome in Lovely Cross-Processed Colours

[mistress_elaine]

I had one roll of 120 film cross-processed after my recent trip to Rome. This is how it came out. Funky colours and burnt-out highlights courtesy of the cross-processing.

quite lovely! i wasn't able to make it far enough south to hit Rome or Pompeii when i was there in 2003, so i'm always happy to see photos of what i missed.

Thank you! Personally, I hate to see pictures of what I missed, since all it does is make me want to go back there straight away...

Rome is phenomenal. There's so much to see and photograph in the place that you're likely to get overwhelmed by it. I really liked Pompeii and Herculaneum, too, though their charms are hard to capture on film.

Whereabouts did you go in Italy?

[papayas]

yes, well, a part of me loves seeing photos of places i missed and another part of me is upset by it...

i was only able to travel around northern italy - milan, padua, venice, florence, and random little castle towns around tuscany.

Sounds like you got to see some stunningly beautiful parts of Italy -- parts which I myself haven't actually seen yet. Some day I will catch up with you. Oh yes, I will...

and one day i will catch up with you and all the rest of your traveling!
