ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Redscale

Redscale is when you take a regular piece of film and turn it around so that the light comes through the back instead of the front. This makes the pictures look like they were taken with a red/orange filter over the lens, giving them a warm and moody feeling. It's like looking through a pair of tinted glasses that only let in warm colors. Think of it like making your pictures look like they were taken during sunset or in a cozy room with a fire. It's a fun way to experiment with film photography and you can do it yourself at home with just a few steps!
