Now I feel vindicated about my comment on elgarbo's photo.


You'll get a strong red/green tint on Ektar if it's overexposed, or shooting a very bright scene. You should treat it like slide rather than negative film.

Yeah, I agree with your comment. Looking back, the original edit was way too magenta.

Anyway, carry on.

I'm really bummed at the way some of these scans came back. Like MrBland pointed out, some of this is really really freaking noisy, especially the asphalt areas . I tried messing with it in post, but ended up going back to the originals with slight color adjustments. Is this due from the low rez scans, the type of film I'm using, or some other factor? Looking at the negatives with a magnifying glass, everything looks nice and smooth. I still think they are cool pictures (in my lovely opinion), but would be much cooler without those noiseblur areas.

lol that almost looks like a tilt shift effect in the first one. don't they offer better quality scans? just get them scanned again with higher quality and see if it looks the same. or get your own scanner.

I sent them to the darkroom.com, so I'd have to send the negatives back in, right? I should just break down and buy a scanner and be done with it.

Edit: man, it does look like tilt shift now that you said that. :arghfist:

The reflection looks in focus, are you sure you weren't just shooting with a really large aperture and the close stuff is just out of focus?

I don't think I was wide open, but I can't remember honestly. It was early in the morning, wet, and humid, I do remember that.

I'm always amazed at the quality of work published in this thread. Sorry, I shouldn't be antagonistic over some comment. I'm still learning how to HDR.

Snow.

Because I have no experience shooting snow, I've live in Australia and its an extreme rarity. So I bracketed a ton of shots. Also the texture on the rocks was gorgeous and vivid and I wanted to make it pop a little.
Since I had the bracketed shots I took the opportunity to do some more HDR process learning. Cranked it a little too hard I guess, but it pops and the peeps on fb seem to like Ratcliff-like overblown garbage.

The thing is though, if you already are acknowledging it as "overblown garbage" then what and for whom are you even shooting for?

I wouldn't call snow extreme rarity, it happens every winter in the mountains of Vic/Tas/NSW, to the point of snow/skiing reports on the news every night.

But metering for it takes a little getting used to so you don't blow it out.
