Ric "live and lost" very philosophical motto, well framing :)

 

Adam Kodak Portra 400 always amaze me :)

What a beautiful color , I think without correction isn't ?

 

Thanks to both of you for sharing

 

I continue my series "fog over the city" in b&w , with Ilford HP5

Fog is well reproduced with Ilford HP5 , as in the true

Outside temperature - 5°C

Photo taken at the same place , at the same time to compare the "rendering" of the fog in digital ....

Smooth fog droplets due to smoothing digital pixel !

This picture is uncorrected : DNG > Silver Efex > Jpeg for posting :)

 

What is lacking is the grain that gives charm to the film.... and true fog :)

That's what I call a "soul" of the analogue picture

I like not just the texture of the fog but the low contrast that really softens these photographs.

Mark the two last film pictures are uncorrected and also the M8 picture !

The fog was very dense in certain places.

.... and gradation scale of film in gray and black gives a perspective effect and relief that does not give enough digital

Digital has a slightly "flat" image , "without consistency"

 

Thanks for your opinion :)

 

Happy New Year Mark to all your family

Mark, to show you the density of freezing fog (-8 °C) in some places,

here is another picture where nothing could be seen of about 15 meters

We have a canal at left

Fog droplets were present but frosted , in any case it was very cold and wet ....

M7 (and M8 as back up) worked perfectly !

Hi Henry - Thanks very much! Not sure what you mean by "correction" of colors, though. Files from negatives that have been scanned using the auto features of the scanner naturally come out flat and in need of editing to bring them to life. I don't adjust the saturation of images as part of my workflow; however, I will adjust the contrast, highlights , etc, as well as WB to bring the colors in balance and make the photo sing in my eyes. The scanner typically doesn't render the WB exactly as the film would render in an analog print, even at "auto" or "WB" settings. Consequently, the color palette that you get from the scan often needs to be tweaked to achieve a natural look. If you take a look at some of the photos in this thread, particularly of landscapes and flowers, you will see dominating greenish and other hues in the WB that NEED to be corrected as they wouldn't show up in the ultimate print and are an artifact of the scanning process.

Thanks for your reply :)

Adam, what I meant by the term "correction" is to add or subtract a parameter with photo software , such as Lightroom , Photoshop or Capture One,

once the image is scanned.

I scan with Nikon Coolscan (Red Green Blue -RGB- calibrated with Nikon Scan software), then I get a picture and after I post in (Tiff >) Jpeg.

That is all .

It's very rare that I correct, because I do not need it , especially with Kodak Portra Film

For this the M7 gives a balanced picture to color.

 

Sometimes I like to check , making "Auto Tone" on LR and there no change in the picture, except sometimes overexposure by LR , but I do not like

this correction because not identical to what I have seen !

Henry - I use LR out of necessity. And I also use a Coolscan 9000 and scan at the max 4000 dpi. If you don't feel that you need to, all the power to you b/c you have one less procedure to deal with! :)

Adam, like did Gary , I forget to tell you that I also (and often) enlarge , on silver b&w paper Ilford (often in 13x18 cms)

with my Focomat. The result is better than the scan ! :)

I like this perspective and the atmosphere is well reproduced

As said Adam , very soft .....

I think it's nicer when enlarged :) and after framed with a large margin

 

.... the autumn dead leaves are frozen :)

Why fog in the digital is smooth ?

This is very well explained in this link posted above
