My cross-process and selective color photography experiments

It's been a while that I purchased Nikon Coolpix P600 camera and I am loving every shot I am taking with it. P600 is an ultrazoom bridge camera by Nikon with many features similar to a DSLR (Digital Single-Lens Reflex) camera. It is worth mentioning that it gives you the option to take pics with selective color or cross process, an option which very few cameras offer to the photography enthusiasts. For applying cross process or selective color effect to your photos, you need to select the effects (special effects) shooting mode of the camera. After setting the mode, just press on the "menu" button for displaying the special effects menu and choose an effect with the multi-selector.


Options offered by effects mode in Nikon P600

When you select the effects mode in Nikon P600, the various options available before you are the following:

1) Soft (default setting)
2) High-contrast monochrome
3) Nostalgic sepia
4) Painting
5) Low key
6) High key
7) Selective color
8) High ISO monochrome
9) Cross process

When you want to add the selective color effect, then only a selected color is kept and other colors will show black-and-white. In case of cross-process effect, images will be created with an unusual hue by changing over a positive color image into negative or negative color image into positive.

Filter effects offered by Nikon P600

In addition, no matter in which shooting mode you shoot the snaps, the filter effects available to you are as follows:

1) Soft portrait
2) Cross screen
3) Selective color
4) Miniature effect
5) Fish-eye
6) Vignette
7) Painting
8) Portrait (Color + B&W)
9) Photo illustration

Given below are some links of the photographs that I have clicked with the selective color and cross-process effects. Bye for now! Next blog coming up soon!
