Afaik, x-rays show up as waves on your negatives - http://www.kodak.com/global/en/service/tib/tib5201.shtml

:stare: I mean I always assumed there was some kind of effect but I wasn't sure what it was exactly. I recently took my backpack full of HP5 through a trip and back, thereby getting xrayed twice, will this have a visible effect?

Nope, even if you stuck it in your checked baggage you should be okay

I expected as much but the confirmation will help me rest easy knowing my lovely photos haven't been molested by the barely penetrating rays of a bag scanner

I really like those tones.

From the tags I'm guessing it's Delta 400, but what sort of exposure and development?

the names of the photos also say "Delta400"

i vaguely name folders by month/year and subject or some sort of sentence that describes where it was because normally im thinking about photos/rolls less in time scales and more areas or content

I too find it shameful that people talk about film gear in the film gear thread and post photos in the photo relevant threads.

I'd argue that playtime is valuable, and you can learn a lot if you let yourself gently caress around just for the sheer fun of it. If having cheap and serviceable film lets you shoot more in general (for either financial or psychological reasons), then I'm all for it. Fujiroids do this for me in large format, and if nothing else the sheer impulsive freedom of "Sure, why not? I'm carrying 50 exposures and I bought them cheap." has let me develop a lot faster (:haw:) than if I were only doing things where I was sure I wanted to commit.

I disagree. In other creative mediums, like painting, an early habit that’s hard to break is repeating brush strokes mindlessly, or dabbing in an area without thinking enough about your goals. This isn’t an issue of wasting paint and affects digital painters as well. Pre-visualizing what you want to see is an important skill to build and if you don’t limit yourself and act with intention you end up with muddy results and it can be difficult to say how you should improve.

I think it’s less important to take lots of photos and more important to develop intention. Take lots of photos if you want, but if you can’t remember why you took any of them and most of your results are aimless and boring (whether or not there was a technical problem), you’re dabbing your brush.

I think 35 or DSLR users end up in this trap a lot. Feels good to press the shutter, feels bad to only be able to take dentist waiting room landscapes.

E: shoot portra 400
