Summer in Vienna, Filmphotography Tricks: Anti-Scheimpflug and cross-processing

Hard to imagine these summer vibes!
This work combines two of the most intense effects you can produce on film.
The cross-processing is responsible for the unusual colours and contrasts, and the
Anti-Scheimpflug makes for a weird plane of focus that makes everything seem like toys.
Here you have an explanation of the Scheimpflug principle:
It basically means that you can tilt the lens in relation to the film. If you inverse
that principle you will arrive at freelensing, which will give you a minimal area of focus,
like in the picture of Vienna. This is responsible for the toy-like look.
Then I add another effect by using an old slide film, processing it like it was negativ film:
cross-processing. The results are colour shifts and contrasts that, if printed as a vibrant
c-Print, add to the impression of an otherworldly picture.
