Advertisement Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Hi gbealnz, Take a look here I like film...(open thread). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Doc Henry Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share #36462 Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Thanks Henry. The colour /feels right/ for me, the sun shining softly through the trees, but it's probably not 100% accurate. I'm with you on preferring to minimise any trickery with scanning. I'll reinvestigate the process with Vuescan for sampling the film base, so what I get is as close to what the film saw as possible. We all see colour a little differently anyway. Portra certainly does I think SilverFast IS the software of Plustek Henry. My 8100 came with SilverFast. Gary Thank you Coog and Gary for your reply. If Plustek is furnished with Silverfast it's fine Gary. They are calibrated their scanner in factory with it , I think Coog I go for what is "simple" and not "complicated" for my little brain. In addition I save my money. So I prefer , as I said here, not use software at all. In the majority of my pictures posted I don'use Lightromm or another software if possible. I am afraid they distort a bit my original picture taken with a good combo camera-lens and lighmeter. I have also as Adam, a Gossen lighmeter I use sometimes for landscapes You're right Coog about Portra , it's fine for color and I add the development of this film is also important ! Best to both of you Henry Edited July 19, 2017 by Doc Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodak Gold 200 a great film too becasue it looks like Kodak color coming from M8 or M9 with a CCD Kodak sensor versus M240 CMOS sensor.

greg_may_ Posted July 19, 2017 Share #36471 Posted July 19, 2017 SUPERB wow that's what I call a lovely image The definition is not like in digital , soft and pleasant to watch. It's perfect ! Look at the line of the face, head and hands . You said "soft" ? Black and grey tones are very nice Thank you and if you have more like this , please don't hesitate to post ... and you are Welcome Greg Henry Many thanks, she's quite an easy subject to photograph thankfully ... or at least currently. I'm very happy with how this turned out, pretty much what I thought of before I pressed the shutter release. Greg 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A miller Posted July 19, 2017 Share #36472 Posted July 19, 2017 Very cool!! Three blended images. The main image shot on a Leica SL, 50mm Summicron and Tri-X, featuring the 1999 Trafalgar Square, London, Kosovo Anti-war demonstration. With Robert, a highly decorated Swedish soldier who fought in that war.STOP WAR Really lovely, Richard. I find that the developer/lab I use can alter the warmth of my Portra 400 film. So it isn't necessarily related to the scanner. For example, the lab I used in Israel last summer developed my Portra 400 rolls in a way that made them meaningfully warmer than I am used to getting in NYC. But this wasn't the case with the Portra 160 or Ektar I processed through them... Thank you both. I have a Plustek 120 with VueScan for medium format stuff. It did come with the bundled Silverfast software but it was licenced to someone else at original purchase (I bought s/h) and repeated emails to Silverfast people hit a dead end, so I can't update it from the very outdated version that doesn't even allow me to capture the whole negative (so Vuescan it is.) I did manage to find a guide to locking in film profiles (sampling the negative base) with Vuescan, but have since misplaced it. I confess to being fairly random in my approach to scanning, it's not a process I enjoy or understand particularly (16-bit, 32-bit, what?) , but no doubt it causes me more trouble in the long run wasting time trying to white balance by eye in Lightroom alongside white/black/exposure adjustments. A slightly better example, though still on the yellow side, with Rolleiflex/Portra 400 An MG, a very long way from home. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Henry Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share #36476 Posted July 19, 2017 1980s postcard-style from NSW, just needs the curly text top-left, "Tea Gardens, NSW" I find colour 120 film so frustrating to scan. This was the same roll, position, time and equipment as the little yacht above but totally lacks the 'special sauce' colours of the former. Richard , very nice series with this color a little "clear" , very light and refreshing It looks like much vintage color you can find in old pictures of our parents Really nice Thank you Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

schattenundlicht Posted July 19, 2017 Share #36478 Posted July 19, 2017 This photograph is nothing special as an image in it's own right. But, for me, it is very special, anyway. It is from the first roll of film that I have put through my recently acquired M3, which hails from the same year of 'birth' as myself.I was anxious to check the technical validity of the camera, so I had the film developed while traveling in Hamburg, in a specialist lab that I happened to stumble upon by chance. I could not help them developing 400TX in Ilfosol, but it turned out OK imho.The image is a jpeg straight out of the scanner without any further postprocessing (wink at doc henry). I also have a dng file so that I could slightly tweak the gradation curve to improve highlight separation some other point in time. For now I am quite happy that the 50+ year old camera and matching lens do not merely look and feel beautiful, but that they also seem to do a very good job. Moreover, the built-in lightmeter (aka sunny 16) seems to be in working condition as well. Wide grin from ear to ear :-)As an advocatus diaboli one might even ask -tongue in cheek- why anybody ever botherd with further camera development during the interjacent decades...
