EoinC Posted October 18, 2016 Share #22681 Posted October 18, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) ...here's a pic I shot in winter in Firenze, Italy. In front of the "Annunciatione " Fresco by Fra Angelico in San Marco. ( Leica IIIf / Elmar 3:5 / 50 lens Kodak 400TX - photo on baryte paper scanned to upload) Jean-Marie Welcome. Jean-Marie. I like this shot, with the movements in the foreground sort of replicating those in the fresco. It can be viewed as a single scene. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeiss Ikonta 521/16, uncoated Zeiss Tessar 3.5/ 7.5 cm, APX 100, Rodinal 1:25 Ikonta_521_Okt16_010.jpg Another "office window" view. A couple of the many signs of a troubled past in the Auckland harbour. ETRSi, with 80mm Fuji RDP. Gary WOW, Gary. That is some view and some framing. Simply fantastic Makina 670 Portra 400 VueScan/LS-9000 A little graffiti from the Boardwalk of Asbury Park, NJ. I was surprised to see how vivid Portra rendered the colors in both images, especially the second. Both represent how I see it when there in person, with hardly any editing in post. Velvia seems to be an obvious and popular choice for graffiti, Portra seems to do a pretty good job to me....no? 2016-07-04-0002 by Marc Tauber, on Flickr 2016-07-04-0003 by Marc Tauber, on Flickr Marc - This is really cool and excellent. You have to point me to this place. My view is that you can't go wrong with color film assuming proper exposure (which you have). But having said this, I still would have chosen Velvia 50 as the ideal for replicating the color palette in an incredible way. Home for 6 months of the year...all shot with Portra 400 while in Sunny Nigeria Neil - Very nice but it looks like you are underexposing the portra by at least a full stop and maybe two. either that or your scanner isn't giving you the "flat" that it should be. The grain just doesn't look right. You should have much cleaner results especially with the gear you are using. I don't know if you are using the meter in your prism finder but if you are you should turn it off and just go manual and don't forget that color films do not have much latitude in the shadows but have LOTS of latitude in the highlights. A few more from photokina (50/1.4A Superia 400) Flickr Flickr Very creative, Philip. Like them a lot.

MT0227 Posted October 19, 2016 Share #22690 Posted October 19, 2016 Hey Adam....as always, thanks for your kind words and reply. Asbury Park is a photographer's pot of gold. I go so much but have never really shot it...too busy with other things There are two ends to the boardwalk, Convention Hall and the Casino. The Casino is an old landmark that is more of less an old frame of a building from what was and where these shots were taken. When I was there last (taking these shots) it started to get dark before I had time to really play. Now that beach season is over, there's plenty of gold to shoot without people getting in the way. I plan to go back soon to with more ammo and more time. I'd be happy to give you the tour, grab Steve while you're at it Marc - This is really cool and excellent. You have to point me to this place.

Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted October 19, 2016 Share #22692 Posted October 19, 2016 I'm a bit surprised to see how much grain you have on what appears to be scenes with plenty of light? I've used Portra 400 and haven't experienced anything close. Could this be the development process as opposed to the film stock? Here is another scan using Vuescan.

How far were you from the focus point? Thanks, Marc. The point of focus of the yellow stalk was about 12" away, which is the minimum focus distance for the SWC. They both have more grain than I like. The developing is out of my control as such and I rely on a 3rd party to do my color film I am not sure it is the lab. How do you meter? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MT0227 Posted October 19, 2016 Share #22696 Posted October 19, 2016 HI Neil....honestly I did't even think to question your metering, I just put the blame on the lab. I think Adam is correct here, "thin" or underexposed color negatives will lead to grainy frames. For Portra, I'd suggest metering in a bit more of the shadows into your settings and then add about 1/2 to 1 stop more. I think you will find the results more in line with your expectations and to what you see elsewhere for this film stock. They both have more grain than I like.
