Say I want to make a portrait double exposure from a person sitting in the open with my ME Super and 400 iso film. I'd set the iso dial on 800, get an exposure reading from the sky, recompose for the portrait and set the speed according to the previous reading. Then I arm the shutter again and shoot a texture or whatever. Is that correct ? e: I should add that I'm looking at the silhouette outline filled with an organic texture effect unpacked robinhood fucked around with this message at 19:32 on May 9, 2015 |

Don't get a reading from the sky, that will make it darker when you want to be close to blowing it out. It's probably best to use a spot meter so that you can properly place your exposures or fine tune the process, but If I had only one reading to go off of I'd meter the person and then stop down 1 or 2.

So I've had good luck with the color kit but ran into one snag, with 120 film using the stiring rod of my tank it seems to cause the film to get chewed up. is their any trick to using the stiring rod or should i just use inversions instead?

Wind the film deeper into the developing reel. The end strip of film is coming loose because of the water resistance when you spin it. Same thing happened to me. Also try to be less vigorous.

I just do the inversions, and then pop the up a little bit of the lip of the tank after an inversion set to release any gas from the blix.

ansel autisms posted:(from low-effort)  Fence by Rohan Bassett, on Flickr On a related note, I'm not sure I'll bother with Portra 160 again. I'm not sure if it's due to my XA overexposing (this was the first roll through, but the roll of HP5 came out alright), or if it just doesn't have the same latitude as Portra 400, but I've been having a lot of trouble getting the colours right.

rohan posted:I did it by hand. I do like the effect, but I think you're right in saying the rocks look off and unfinished. I've gone back and adjusted the curves to get more accurate colours in the rocks -- how does this look? Take the colour sampler in Photoshop and sample the area you're trying to correct, if there is a disproportionate amount of one channel then you need to adjust accordingly. Your rocks are currently very blue.

So I think I need to take more pictures. I had a dream about film developing (I hosed it up too -- I opened the canisters in the light and couldn't tell why my photos wouldn't show up.) I'm broken and dream me is stupid.

R3 Monobath developer. anyone here have experience with this? http://shop.new55.net/collections/frontpage/products/r3-monobath-developer and while i wait for it to be released in europe, i'm considering buying http://www.macodirect.de/chemistry-blackwhite-film-developer-compard-compard-shot-500ml-p-1185.html to do all the rolls that's stacked up in my fridge. looks to be a rodinal formulation, thus easy as gently caress to use. am i wrong here?

Anyone know what would cause this sort of banding? It's 120mm T-Max 400 expired by 10-15 years, so it's not surprising. Really just wondering how banding that specific could happen. Christopher by spike mccue, on Flickr

Hello Dorkroom! It's been a long time. I just developed my first rolls of film ever. Overall it was pretty fun and I'm looking forward to doing it some more.    Any idea what the odd marks along the edge of the film are? Some frames have them, other don't (but most do). Each is a little different. My random guesses are: - light leak in camera - improper agitation - improper handling during loading onto the development reel - maybe I didn't mix the chemicals (to be honest I just poured dev/fixer and the water, didn't really stir...) What are your thoughts?
