I don't typically cross process my pinhole images. For those who are unfamiliar, cross processing involves using color slide film and having it developed in chemistry for negative film and using the resulting negatives as just that (as opposed to transparencies). I hope that makes sense!
The purpose of this technique is typically to get tweaked colors. Odd greenish or pinkish casts have routinely been the results I've gotten. This seems to work really well with toy camera images. I can't say exactly why I tend to avoid using this for my pinholes, except that it feels like too much going on. But, this set has been surprisingly pleasant to my eye. The cross processing technique has been particularly useful when putting the camera right down on the earth to create liliputian landscapes! In fact, I'm considering working with that notion more in depth now. Enjoy these few...
