Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted June 23, 2017 Share #35001 Posted June 23, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Henry - I don't have a scanner for negatives. I do devellop the photos on Ilford genuine gelatine FB mat paper and am able to scan the photos once they're dry. I'm just up from the darkroom and scanned the same photo my wife scanned on her Epson film scanner and that I posted . I think the way I do is much less perfect. But it does have more athmosphere in my opinion - also, the old enlarger I use crops less of the photo than the scanner does, although the scanner is run on 6x9 program. Here the same picture as yesterday, - but here the whole dark room process is done, I the simply scanned the photo and simply enhanced the contrast in photoshop. Compare by yourself. "Truth" or "perfection" in photography is really a very subjective thing. I often think of Stieglitz when he shot the photo with the horse van in the snow, in New York. His photographer friends all said : Your picture is not sharp, worth nothing. Stieglitz answer was: It looks perfect to me. One of the problems we all do have with digital photography is its perfection. Too much perfection is sometimes closer to Madame Tussaud's wax sculptures ( ...dead images) than to real life. But these are simply my thoughts - You know. I do have no scanner, I do have no Handy ( I-phone, smartphone a.s.o.). My wife does. I still write letters. With a quill or a fountain pen. And shoot vintage cameras... my kids told me I would have been the perfect hipster. When I asked them what they call a hipster they explained that to me. And told me that in my case, I could not be a hipster, as I was a true "vintage" , "made" in the 1950s ;-) That much for today :-) Web.Tour en vélo A.S. Mecher 19.6.17.

Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted June 23, 2017 Share #35002 Posted June 23, 2017 That is spectacular; the sort of photo that merits its own wall. Best, Wayne Cheers Wayne.

Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted June 23, 2017 Share #35003 Posted June 23, 2017 Sort of an abstract from Isola d'Elba in Italy. Not that that matters of course; it could have been shot anywhere there's a grand piano, a plant and a lamp. Btw, this is on the old version of Tri-X, code 5063, which some people like a lot (Pico, I'm looking at you if you're watching). I have a bulk roll that expired quite a while a go. Still it took the better part of two years for the curl to disappear (that's how far back my scanning backlog goes...). Flickr TTL 50/2 Tri-X (old) EI800 HC-110(H) like the grain there Phil.

The original post of the image to the thread- at least as it appeared on my computer screen- appeared as though there was a bit of glow to it; I liked that, too, but believe this is even better.

gnuyork Posted June 23, 2017 Share #35018 Posted June 23, 2017 Any time I shoot into the sun on a digital camera, it's nigh-on impossible not to get a big blown-out highlight at the brightest spot. This! I tried to get a sunset shot this past weekend (with a digital camera, sorry Henry )and even metering into the sun and stopping down, I still got a blown out white blob instead of what my eye saw. Frustrating. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
