The work of a film lab rat boffin is a never-ending story of trial and error. Luckily you guys get to reap the benefits of our madness! There are tonnes of ways to experiment on film because there is relatively little known about how it reacts. We hope that the 4 experiments we have to reveal to you this time will inspire you to join our growing league of film testing pioneers |

 |
- Throw some film into a bubbling pot of your preferred soup... (or water - if you are dieting) and leave to simmer.
- Boil your film to suit your taste… If you prefer your pics aldente (i.e with not too much melted, globby colour distortion) then just a minute or two will do! If you boil for too long there won’t be much left to see!
-
Tips: “The outer part of the film is affected more by the temperature, as the heat spreads to the rest of it from here. The longer you boil, the more film will be affected. Boiling for too long will destroy everything on the film. The soup adds the ‘unknown’ aspect because it is possible that the ingredients can have an affect on the film. Try milk, oil, tomatoes”.

- This experiment does exactly what it sounds like! The best thing is that unless the whole thing melts you can develop this normally at your favourite lab.

- Film experimentation should never be a chore but this experiment from jallcott makes doing the washing a lot more interesting.

- “This basically is the result of putting the film through the washing machine before getting it developed. You end up with a slightly faded 1970s feel to the pictures plus some odd colour splodges and bits of eaten emulsion”.

...all you need is a little curiosity and a liberal attitude towards film! Some of the best effects are created by the simplest of things... so don’t think that you have to re-invent the wheel with your method. |

All experiments hard or easy are welcome in the Lomo Lab. If yours gets featured we will award 20 Piggy Points for your unique contribution to film-testing research. These can be exchanged for 20 EUR/ US$ in the Lomo online shop. Please send your results and method to andreas.bischoff@lomography.com |
