VomitOnLino posted:Awesome! It scans very nicely, and should get about all the info there is to get out of most films. I hope you have the holders for it, they seem to be quit expensive on the 'bay. In a pinch I could possibly be convinced to sell you my additional mount holders and adapter ... No adapters, and I have no idea if it actually works or not. It powers on, but I don't know if there's a way to test it without the adapters.

Ezekiel_980 posted:So I decided to spend some money and get some rolls of slide film I had developed to see if i liked shooting it. What variant of Ektachrome is it, Panther? Whatever you have looks a bit expired, the first 3 have a reddish look that I got on some of my stuff. I bought a load of rolls a few years back. When you get a good exposure on it, there's nothing like it.

The first three were 100G that expired in January of this year, the second two were velvia 50. I also shot a roll of 100VS also but the roll was pretty old and wasn't cold stored so it had a ton of red shift.atomicthumbs posted:I work at an e-waste recycler.

Any time I've shot Ektrachrome I've had to do a bit of colour correction in Photoshop, it doesn't seem to hold up as well as negative film. Do you mind if I throw the first one in PS to see what happens? Hope you don't mind but:  SUPER quick thing in PS, just brought dragged the red input to the right in the RGB curves. I'd say you could do much more with a little more time. Quantum of Phallus fucked around with this message at 13:37 on Sep 26, 2014 |

Direct light in a window sill, front element facing the sun, a mirror behind the rear element, and 5-6 weeks. I also did it in the late spring when the sun's rays were stronger. Unfortunately no before-after pictures, but it definitely got rid of the yellow tint.

My brother is in NYC so I had him pick me up some Portra 400 at B&H so that I don't have to deal with  shipping costs. And buying a 35mm 5-pack of the stuff costs $79 locally. Pretty excited about it.

Even after shipping and customs, it's cheaper than local. I did that recently for 22 rolls of film (portra, ektar, velvia, provia, tmax, arista, etc) and after shipping and taxes (which came out to about $50), it still worked out to about $7.50 per roll. Locally it's about $9 for a roll of portra/ektar and $13 for a roll of velvia/provia

Guys, I took an Olympus Pen-D out near an Apple store during the iPhone 6 launch. This is the third time I've developed film and the first roll I ran though the Pen-D. I think I'm starting to get better at processing. I mostly just clip the ends of the histogram and then nudge up the contrast, but I really have no idea if I'm increasing the contrast by too much. img119 on Flickr img117 on Flickr img115 on Flickr img116 on Flickr img103 on Flickr img106 on Flickr img098 on Flickr

Because I'm a filthy poor I don't have a macro lens... tried throwing a closeup "filter" on my kit lens and shooting against my light box, but this came out looking really poo poo while the negative itself looks really good on the light box and when printed. I just brought it into RawTherapee, flipped the tone curve, and played with the exposure compensation a little until it looked semi-legible. Please feel free to call me a scrub and tell me how I should have processed it differently. I'll get my 50mm prime back soon and plan to try it on a reverse ring, see if that looks nicer.

Yeah, I was having similar results using closeup diopters with a digital camera. The corners didn't have the best sharpness and it's hard to get the backlighting even across the frame compared to using a scanner. It's even worse when you do color film and try to correct for the orange base, even using a bunch of blue gels I still got poo poo color reproduction compared to a scanner. If you can find an old epson on ebay most of them will give you good results. I'm using a 2580.

Color actually turned out kind of decent: I used digiKam, inverted, cropped, and applied auto color correction. I'd describe it as "no worse than a Walgreens scan", maybe?

My changing bag is a fkn nightmare when it is humid and/or hot, I sweat so much and the film will not go onto the reel. Next time I will try putting a box in there (beer carton?) to create a bit more space. Or do I need to just get one of those changing tents? Building a proper darkroom is not an option.

I feel like I'm almost getting the hang of it. Unfortunate that Raw Therapee doesn't handle inverting very well, and digiKam's interface is pretty crap. Still holding out against paying $10/mo for Lightroom since I'm just a lovely amateur.

I tried the box-in-a-bag thing for A while and found that the box "leaks" heaps of cardboard dust/particles. if you do this maybe try cutting down a plastic box rather than a cardboard one? I'm super glad I got the tent though. Makes life 1000x easier.

I can see how the particles could be a problem but more so with sheet film? With film you are washing them anyway. Will see how this roll turns out anyway.

At first it was an interesting way to do pre-orders and get products produced that otherwise wouldn't be, but nowadays it just seems like a way for companies to shift their startup capital costs onto the public. ScotchChrome was pretty cool but not $25 per roll cool. If I'm going to blow that kind of money it better be like loving Aerochrome or something.

I think a large part of the reason they need backing is so that it DOESN'T wind up costing $25 per roll. It's just a goal reward. Dave Bias, who's working with Ferrania, did an interview with Ted Forbes on the Art of Photography and by getting a larger facility, they can make enough film to be cost effective, but not so much that they're losing money. I think it's pretty cool what they're trying to do.

You could buy a roll film back and shoot some 6x12 slides? I've backed it, but I hope they get a lot cheaper once it's in full production. As it stands I might as well be paying domestic prices for Provia, which at least I know is good.

I just developped my first film. hp5+ with ilfotec hc pushed to 800. I got mad water stains, how do you get rid of 'em, photoflow? I tried editing them out as best as I could.      Taken with a Nikon FE2 with a lovely 35-105mm f3.5-4.5 nikkor zoom. Photography is a fun hobby, even though it looks like it's going to be expensive.
