Boiling film  [Digg.com This!]

I read on the internet boiling film causes interesting effects because it ages the film. So I thought I'd give it a go. I took some in-date 2008 Fuji 110 film and placed it in a pre-heated cup of boiled water for 5 minutes. Please see pics of process here:

The film came out dry and seemed fine. The canister was slightly warm, but it soon returned to room temperature.

I subsequently shot the film in normal bright daylight conditions and had it developed through Wildings (OEM Colorama) in the UK. The results seem pretty interesting - the pics do look like they're dated and seem to have lost some of their yellow tones. Overall I'm very pleased with the affect. See final shots here:

I have already heated up some more film and will be posting pics of that soon too. Please email me or comment here with your experiments and suggestions.
