great work blinkerz, what film speed are you using? i think im going to use fuji 400h as my first roll, its cheaper to get processed and want my first roll done quicker to see how much i have to learn.
No point in keeping the digi stuff if you aren't using, or interested in using it.
It can be handy to keep if it doesn't owe you any money, but it can be a big pile of cash just propping a door open.
My digi gear is worth about 2k second hand so its a huge chunk of cash I could save or spend doing something awesome. In the last couple of months I think I've taken about 10 real pictures on it, and then just pics of stuff for sale etc.
The Deardorff:
Its got a 5x4 and a 5x7 back, huge belows extension, front and rear swings, front and rear tilts, no shift front or back, front rise and fall. Its pretty much all the camera I'll ever need, unless I try sports or birding or something like that
Currently got a 90mm 5.6, 210mm 5.6 and 360mm 6.8 (which is huge, 120mm ish front filter size )
360:
90:
210 is on the deardorff in the pic above.
Still using the mamiyas and the leica though, but might look at selling the backup mamiya 6 in a while depending on usage
It is huge, I still can't get the scale, the Canon body could easily be a matchbox model...
Its a fine looking camera.
I won't be buying one till I get my darkroom built, which in the current climate could be a while
Gotta print em..
one thing I'm noticing from a lot of peoples ektar is the sky is very cyan, not something I've seen in mine as its not been full blue skies when I've used it. Have to say I don't like it much though, prefer fuji blues
Its easy sometimes to take the scan as is.
I'm not used to buggering about with Velvia, it scans bang on with this scanner every time.
Those 3 b/w I posted last are actually Astia, but they scanned with loads of magenta, it was easier (for me) just to b/w them, I mean I had a 5 mins go with but they didn't look right.
I just can't muster any kind of interest in editing, I'd rather cut the grass or wash up, its just mind numbingly boring.
Its like having to learn the telephone directory to pass an English exam, you know you need it but damn, can't I do some ironing instead
yeah, its the skin tones that make them difficult, that brown uniform looks a shade green, but the skin tones are better, to be fair on you, I've already messed with them, you're not starting from a straight "too much magenta" scan, you're starting from a joxby colour histogram curve in scan cockup.
Its a re-scan job..:|
It's been over 4 months since I've touched film... and discovered a lonely looking roll of Delta 400 which hadn't been dev'd yet - couldn't resist it, and here's the result.
Well - finally got something out of my recent purchase so I guess i'd better post something. Be gentle - this is probably first film i've shot in 15 years!
