This lab took from mid January to develop and scan my E6. Now I gotta pick it up and rescan it myself. Can't wait until I can get the chems myself in Australia.

I've been doing E6 myself in NZ for a while and other than the cost of importing the chemicals from the US I haven't noticed it being any harder or less consistent than C41.

I usually get my chems from a local supplier who haven't been able to import E6 for a long time, I'm not concerned about the process. Where do you import from?

Film photography project is the only place I've found who will ship it. It's a liquid kit so the shipping is pretty expensive, so I usually order a few other things (film etc.) at the same time and the chems last me ~6 months. One benefit of shooting 4x5 is that I spend a lot more time and effort on my images, which means I don't take so many and my chems last longer than if I were spamming 35mm.

Yeah, I only shoot Medium format and E6 would be a fraction of my output, and I use a view camera for that so I only shoot like 2 rolls a month so I'd expect it to last a good long time.

I feel like this multi-exposure merge is overcooked, but I liked the subject and it was even more garish and CG-looking before the saturation, color balance, and curves adjustment layer masking.

Yeah, you mostly need to get outside the harbor or farther away from the sandy areas to get a lot of clarity.

I bought a 35mm camera not long ago and I've been trying out photography for the first time. Took a few photos while I was visiting my old college. Feedback appreciated; I just got these back from development/scanning. Not sure how I feel about the last one but I'm not sure why.

The first one is a cool spot but you should go back and spend time getting the camera perfectly straight, geometric shots like that rely on perfection. Second one has less potential but it has the same problem, everything is crooked. As shot it might work better if you had a person leaning on the railing up there. Third one really isn't anything I have an interest in but it looks well executed. The contrast really bugs me, I personally am not a fan of crushed blacks, but some people do like it so don't take it to heart. It might be cooler if the person in the background was visible in profile, everything in the scene kind of leads the eye to that area but the person is not as readily visible as they should be. Maybe crop off some of the foliage on the right too.

Agree that the first one has the most potential. The third one would have been better at a different time of day or had it been overcast, unless you're bracketing exposures and then doing HDR (which has it's own caveats) you're not likely to capture both the shadows and the highlights in a bright midday scene like that with harsh light and pitch black shadows. Recently when I've been setting up a shot I've been trying to think: 1: What is my subject 2: How am I going to direct people's attention towards the subject 3: How can I make the scene 'balanced' (e.g. no huge open area with bo detail)

I’ll say that I like the first one best. And while the alignment is a little off it still looks cool. It’s well exposed; you get the shadow detail in the foreground balanced with the lighter areas behind it. This is why I love film for scenes like these. I’m still trying to fine-tune how to emulate that sort of tonal range with digital photos, especially in low light. Agree with the others that the third one is kind of lacking in composition. Plus there is a lot of detail lost in the shadows due to scene contrast. This is kind of inevitable in broad daylight, especially with consumer color negative film. That’s why I get a weird itch to go out shooting when it’s a beautiful soft light party-cloudy day; film images made around the blue light hours early in the day or golden hour just before sunset on those days have wonderful tonality, especially on a higher-end film stock like Portra. Try it out sometime.

Thanks for the feedback all! Really helpful and informative As a newbie I guess I hadn't stopped to consider that even if the weather isn't something I want to spotlight, it's still going to be there influencing the photo, for better or worse. I've started paying attention to the idea that an image or a scene might catch my eye but that I might want to hold onto it for better lighting conditions. Also trying to hold my camera straighter.

Also try out black and white film if you want something that arguably works better with high-contrast outdoor structural scenes.

Getting antsy that the only thing I can shoot it either my local neighbourhood or inside the apartment. What's everyone doing to keep their photography going during lockdown?

It's pretty good given the context..but I think next year, a picture like that is meaningless!. This is not meant as a criticism of your shot, but more how important context of the time period often is!.

Yeah, I don't think I did it real justice. I need to go back with a tripod, and my view camera with some black and white, or just some faster film, but as photographers we've been presented an opportunity to capture some high strangeness and have our output viewed in a pervasive global context. Def not the best thing I've ever shot, or even passably competent, but given the times it's got a bit more worth to me.
