In Lightroom I always use slider values in multiples of 5, except on the tone curve ones? I do the ISO one as well and the lens cap.....

http://www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/canon-fd-50mm-f-1-8-lens Start with a good one of those, then add a roll of film and jobs a goodun! Things to check on the camera: Light seals around the film door have probably turned to goo by now, fairly easy to fix look for kits on ebay by "interslice" if hes...

Wow! your work is very impressive and your drive a camper van. :cool: I live south of Cambridge, near Abington, I can see Ely Cathedral on the horizon from our lounge so next time I'm home I'll wave hello :wave: Welcome!

Black and White Photography, N-Photo and Outdoor Photography, I subscribe to all 3 via iPad, I think when this years N-Photo runs out I may not repeat it but the other 2 are worthwhile. B&W is definitely my favorite, it can sometimes be a bit arty and pretentious but it is always inspiring and...

Top Tip: Try to frame shots of the racing to included the christmas tree (start lights) not for any photographic reason other than you can watch the lights and press the shutter as the last yellow goes out.

Yup a good book, definitely worth a read. I found it from Ken Rockwell's list of books and have it on my iPad for reference.

That is amazing!

Thanks for all the replies, I know they are not great in terms of composition but the main aim was to get a few clean, in focus shots to get the hang of PP while the weather is not so good, as for flower pots I think whilst trying to crop out the right hand one I completely missed the one by his...

yeah took me a while to get it right!! The scans came out looking a bit flat but a quick run through Aperture sorted that out, certainly no more than I would have done for any other scan.

It was a Canon Lide 30, only goes up to 1200dpi. The flash light app turns the phone screen white and you can adjust the brightness so I just put the neg on the scanner and the phone face down directly on top.

I picked up a Lubitel 166u last week despite having never used 120 before or having any way of digitising the images. Having successfully shot and developed my first roll I really wanted to scan them. So dug out an old flatbed scanner and tried to find out if it could be modified to scan...
