Carlheinz,
You know, I feel pretty sheepish that I haven't replied to this sooner. Well, I guess better late than never. This shot is taken in a totally dark storage area in my friend's condo in New Westminster in B.C. when I was visiting in June. The only light was a flashlight she had that I used to 'paint' the entire scene. The total exposure was about a minute, maybe a little longer. I think the reason for the extremely red colour-cast is twofold. First it appears that unfiltered Fuji film (Sensia at least) when cross-processed yields this red tone. I think it's accentuated by the digital scanning and printing process because when I've had Fuji processed by the rapidly shrinking number of analog (optical) printers, this colour-cast is not as prominent. The brassy red seems to come directly from the combination of Fuji film and the digital minilab. That's fine when it's what I want but when I'm looking for a more delicate (usually blue-green) tone this is not the outcome I'm happy with. When I want that outcome I usually shoot with Kodak Ektachrome and try to find an optical lab to process and print it. That's getting harder and harder to find in this rampantly digital age. Hope this is helpful my friend. All the best.
cheers
Russ
