Gary lucky guy with nice beach

Beautiful color

Best

Henry

Thank you Henry (and of course my dear friend Leo).

If anything, the colour is "ghastly" compared to a simple viewing of the unmounted transparency. In the flesh, the colours really stand out, and "pop". In the "scan" it looks washed out, and has that "old colour" look to it. Hard to explain.

Anyway, it is what it is/was.

A nice beach called Kaiteriteri, at the top of the South Island.

Yeah, mate Gary is just a little lucky (lol) to have places like that...

Doc, that Montlhéry is great. I recognized it from the bank. Awesome.

(even though Bernie the mafioso cancelled Grand Prix of France since years...)

Thanks Ileo and another for you

 

Warm up lap  :)

Well that was interesting. Fuji Superia 400 at box speed, colour developer freshly made and diluted 1+9, 20ºC, 45 minutes semistand, blix at 20ºC for 6.5 minutes, stabiliser for 1 minute also at 20ºC. The negatives are fairly green, and when scanned look like the Lomo purple film. I cannot scan them with the X1 and get decent colours, but if I go through the whole scan the film base and lock it in Vuescan using the Nikon 9000, then scan as raw and use the ColorPerfect plug-in in PS I get useable pictures! The first few frames off the spiral (on the outside of the spiral) have sprocket hole surge marks, but the inner frames do not.

And to show the surge marks:

So next time I need a bit more agitation, and I think I need more development to reduce to colour cast. I could try for an hour instead of 45 minutes, and if that doesn't do it, I guess I will start altering the developer dilution to 1+8, 1+7 etc.

Chris thanks for this work.

In my opinion It should be necessary to increase the development time in

proportion to the decrease in temperature and you're right !
From 38 ° C to 30 ° C this time is multiplied by 1 point 5 (3 min15  >  8 mins)
For the blix , it is multiplied by 0.5 (4min > 6 ) !

there is a dominant purple

and the low contrast is due to the "underdevelopment" (seen in the last picture).

it is better to keep that 1 + 9 dilution and increase the time as mentioned above

Best

Henry

Kodachrome 1973 Canon TL Looking north on Broadway .... yes this is what Soho was before it became a mall. A light manufacturing district, mostly textile s, box makers, etc. A friend of my brother-in-law, his dad had a business there that baled clothes and shipped them to Africa, etc, for sale, sold by the pound. The last vestige of sale after they have fallen through the discounting chain. Anyway, a memory of mine of a NYC long gone, thought I would share and bring a little Kodachrome to this thread ....

By the way...THIS is what made me buy two Hewes Steel reels and a metal developing tank.

 

I was very afraid to try steel reels but the Hewes practically load themselves....really they do.

 

Now I only use them.

 

Also, with the steel reels, you can tell if everything is going well by slightly pushing back on the film as you roll..if it's going correctly, you can get some backwards play in the film, if not, then you just unroll a few turns and keep trying. It really beats the crap out of plastic in my opinion.

 

 

 

I still have my ancient Nikor tanks and reels...  probably a half-dozen tanks from one to six rolls, and a dozen or more reels in 35mm and a few more in 120! 

 

Doc Henry, since you invited me...  I'll post a few film shots that I've taken over the years....

 

This is of the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, circa 1975.  I shot it with an M2, probably on Tri-X and probably with a 50mm Canon Serenar f/1.8

I would like to ask you to once again be the great curators that you are - but this time at a strong risk of wearing out my welcome.

I have staked out this spot in Jersey City New Jersey for some time and over the New Year's weekend hit it hard with my Hasselblad SWC/M, Kodak TMax and Ektar.

I treked from midtown Manhattan to this spot for two sunsets and two sunrises.  A couple of the times were uneventful as for as the lighting goes so I had to repeat.  

 

I would like to throw some (ok, 12 to be exact) B&W renditions at you and ask that you let me know which if any strike you as particularly good.

 

As you can tell, I was unsure of the most effective composition so I basically shot the scene every which way  :(

 

Assuming that no one is annoyed by this, I will share some of the color renditions after a due cooling off period...

 

Here we go...
