M-A, 28mm elmarit pre asph, Portra 400

 

Adam very nice color

Portra 400 needs sun and much light and when you have light , color is really nice and vivid

Do you agree with me ?

Thanks for posting

Regards Henry

Thanks, Henry. I agree. It is very hard to overexpose this film. And it handles highlights extremely well

Please do Henry! I don't recognize the area where you took this photo but I'm sure it has changed completely nowadays.

A hard drive is a good solution for storing working images for quick access. It is not a good a good solution for archival storage. My scans of negatives, slides and prints are stored on a hard drive backed up in the cloud. I use Carbonite for this but there are many other options for off site backup.

My negatives are stored in archival storage boxes in a temperature controlled space. Many of my father's negatives are on nitrocellulose film which is subject to decomposition and possible spontaneous combustion. I have them refrigerated.

Unfortunately there is not the one really secure solution for digital long time storage. HD's can crash every time without warning. Best thing you can do is to safe stuff on several different sources. I have some NAS (Network Attached Storage) with higher RAID levels running. Over night they backup on a second drive. But even if the technical stuff works well you can lose all by a user mistake. And I had even a RAID 5 level NAS died suddenly without any possibility to safe the data on it. This causes fortunately no loss of data, since all was also backed up elsewhere. I don't wont to put my pictures in a cloud. But if you don't mind this is a solution too.

So beside HDs and NAS I safe stuff also on optical volumes like Blu-ray-discs. You can't overwrite them by mistake. So a mix of two or more volumes or systems should avoid a lot of trouble. HDs might not be very safe, but they are relative cheap. So at least a second one, will give you much more security.

I've learned since I stored my diploma thesis years ago on two floppy discs. One of them was unreadable afterwords.

This is encouraging. I had pretty good luck with the Lomography 120 film, i.e. no horrible results. I do like it; but, given my luck with the Lomography 400 35mm film, I have been hesitant to buy more....of any format. maybe I will purchase some more 120.

Like you I've tried both the 135 and 120 versions with differing results.  I'm not sure where Lomography get the stock from or even if the 135 and the 120 are the same, but I've found it can have a strange colour cast, and sometimes even within the same role!  I develop my own colour film using the Fuji C41 kit and I've found that there seems to be a LOT of discolouration of the pre-wash/soak water.  I have a few roles of both left and after that I'm not sure I will get any more as in my experience it's a bit unpredictable.

wonderful, Philip.  Sublime colors make it.  Top notch rendition of velvia

Before moving on to some more wildlife, a sunset from Kilimanjaro.

Wonderful, Ian.  Like having Keith with us; like you were stepping in his foot prints! :)  Having said this, you were able to successfully order the clouds :)

One from Keith country (don't think I've seen Keith in the thread for a while?). Portra 400.

Earlier in the year. The Long Man of Wilmington is in the background. Might be Fujifilm 400H, definitely 28 Summaron-M.

Hi Doug and Frank, first great thanks for your advices.

 

The problem is that you depend on an external backup source which can also crash

Another dependency is your computer with the OS windows XP finished , Vista etc.... now

windows 10

 

We have a syndicate website with all the files we have archived in , the server has exploded

and all the files have disappeared including images

External dependence may not be only the right way

The hard drives can crash too and Western Digital Belgium did not even offer me to retrieve my

images, hence my opinion of after sales service. These are people who sell to earn money, and

then after you must find yourself the solution .Bad brand !

So I downloaded recovery software but nothing to do, the hard drive is dead, nothing :angry:

Finally I tried another HD brand Toshiba 1TB and it seems work better but I'm wary now

Fortunately these are digital images M9-M8  that I lost the most !

 

... but I will still think about your suggestions. Thanks again Doug and Frank :)

Best

Henry

A few shots from yesterday, Leica M4-2, Voigtlander 35mm 2.5.

Tri-X 400 rated at 400 and developed by me with ilfosol 3

 

This is the first film i've hand developed in years so I'm not sure if i overcooked. I went by recommended times but maybe i over agitated it. Seems a little grainy to me.
