not special - but posted to ask..

28mm with Orange filter - I expected the sky to have more contrast - should i use 'red'

An orange can produce really good contrast too. It depends on a few other factors as well. How "blue" the sky is, how many stops above middle gray the sky was place and some on the developer used. Red can really play hell with conifer trees making them really dark if that matters. And shadows in the scene can become really dark too, again, if that matters.

Well, no trees for me. I finally finished a roll of Superia 200 in my AE-1 with the FD50.
These are as shot for the exception of my installing my little water mark and resizing them. I did not even crop them and many can sure use it. I have started to get into Urban street stuff. I think it is a perfect fir for film.

a memorial in a strange part of a run down part of town. Best I could figure is this fellow died here.

Javier.... I'm not big on giving titles to my shots, hence why half of them seem to be called "Velvia100-......" but #3 is just crying out for "Sometimes there is No Right Side of the Tracks"

Thanks Mark.
I normally do like to add titles, but I was drawing a total blank yesterday. That is a good title indeed!.
Thanks javier :)

Javier, I REALLY like the colour of your shots. Is that due to the film you are using, the sunlight or your developing?

Thank you. I think it has more to do with the great light and shooting during happy hour. I am usually not a fan of Superia 200 but I was actually happy with the colors of this roll. As far as developing them, I dropped the roll of at Target for the 1 hour developing. I will say this though. The folks there in the photo lab, know me very well and so they take great care in processing my film and set the scanner to natural so I get what the film is suppose to give.

If I want something different, then I will scan them myself.
Thanks again for the comment :)
 
Very nice colours, love the settee and red trolly, the backdrop looks muted colour then you have this big splash of colour catching your eye, great photos

Thank you. The reds always seem to look to red. As a Result, I try and avoid red when I can, but seems to be everyplace.

How do you know if the punchy red is a result of the film or the automatic machine converting it to digital?

kills downloading the thread for those with slow broadband ..thanks
 
Ped - there's some great stuff coming from your Italian trip mate. I'll try and comment properly on them in your thread in Crit. if I may, but just wanted to say :thumbs:

You bring up a good point Tuco.
When I scan them myself, often I will end up with bright Reds as well, but when I print them, the reds are pretty normal. My monitor is calibrated and so I am somewhat confused. I do not have this problem with my DSLR reds. How do the reds of my pictures look to you? By the way, It is nice to see your images over here as well. Personally, I think you are one of the most gifted togs I have seen. :)

I like the grocery cart shot. The red there is just a little punchy is all. Thanks for the nice compliment.

A couple from my first roll of Porta 160NC home developed with a Tetenal c-41 rapid kit, just tests but I'm liking the film a lot.

Nice shots and natural color for sure. A welcome change from all the practically neon color palettes that seem to make up flowers and landscape theses days.

Thanks, looks like a great film for true colours. I want it for portraits, so it looks like it fits the bill, will be trying some reala tomorrow.

Cheers,
Mart
 
Lovely soft colours Mart, portra is perfect for portraits....

Well that's unusual ;)
 
This was difficult to scan and adjust color. I had to just settle for this. I was giving this film a go at light range. I'll have to practice more with the one-degree spot meter and this film. I metered like I would with my more familiar BW placing the low values to what I'd expected would be okay but the shadows turned out much darker than expected. And when I pulled them up in the editor, it sure revealed a lot of grain and scanner noise. I'm thinking too that I should have mixed a new batch of color chemicals. They were close to what I use for a max shelf life.

Those two b/w shots are scrummy.

Why, thank you Rob... they were from a roll of Delta 400 that rescued an otherwise completely wasted day trip to the lake district last year. Got up there loaded with Velvia, ready to shoot some strong Autumnal colours, and the mist/clag rolled in around 7:45am, only clearing around 4:00pm when I was already 25 miles into my homeward journey :shake:

As usual great shot, but was it so clear that you could see the curvature of the earth as the horizon is sloping down...just nit-picking. ;)

Thanks. The horizon looks and measures straight within 0.5mm to me ;)

Be careful what you ask for. Having to really stop down to get any DOF with a slow shutter, I asked these guys to freeze! They did and it looks like it too.
