The X-ray Film Look

Been doing some research on the "Look" of X-ray film for portraits, here is what I came up with.

This first photo is from the FPP photographic site using a Super Blue X-ray film. As you can see there is almost a wet plate look to it, super cool looking.

This second link is very intriguing. The work shown is rather remarkable by a photographer named Lee Smathers. It was shot with a green sensitive X-ray film called Fuji HR-A, which I might also experiment withI do not know his process yet, will read more about this photographers work tomorrow during my security nightshift. Here is what I have so far.
