dmitchell Posted August 31, 2017 Share #39341 Posted August 31, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I think these look pretty good. Mine usually have a bit more grain. Which developer did you use? A couple more with Tri-X and the M3 to see if I'm on the right track Thanks for any advise 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reeray Posted August 31, 2017 Share #39343 Posted August 31, 2017 Nick Brandt - photographer extraordinaire. All shot on film. I thought I'd share this link. Truly amazing. Wait until you see the second video and his thoughts on film. https://www.lensculture.com/articles/nick-brandt-inherit-the-dust 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardkaraa Posted August 31, 2017 Share #39344 Posted August 31, 2017 Pro Lab development so no idea I'm afraid. I think it looks very nice on it's own, but it's not the typical tri-x rendering, probably because it was scanned with a digital camera. I personally like these shots. Very nice! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest )-( Posted August 31, 2017 Share #39345 Posted August 31, 2017 So many exotic locations and great photographs, very awesome! Film in all four corners of the globe and from the highest peaks to the bottom of the Dead Sea too, fantastic. A couple of less exotic (to me at least) had-to-be-done vanishing point pictures with the SWC/M and Delta 400. Welcome, dear visitor!

I personally like these shots. Very nice! Thanks Edward. I'm not yet sure what the "typical Tri-X" looks like, so some more experimenting to do. I figure that in reality I need to dev at home for this experiment. The labs, of course, will use use a one mix for all film process which may, or may not work. It's been 30 years since I did home dev, should be fun! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntonioF Posted August 31, 2017 Share #39349 Posted August 31, 2017 A couple more with Tri-X and the M3 to see if I'm on the right track Thanks for any advise Really sharp! This weekend I should be able to try a digital camera scan with a Componon lens I found in England. I'm waiting for the last adapter. I'm really curious! I'll try with a tripod and if it works I'll have to build a diy/macgyver beoon copy stand! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share #39350 Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) This is masterful colour photography! I've been looking at some colour landscapes done in digital on another thread - then when you see what is achieved in extremely talented hands with great eyes and alert minds on film - there really is (for me at least) no comparison. Film has a life, vitality and presence that is all its own. First JM wonderful color in these pictures no equivalent elsewhere (even M10) and I agree with Phil Only film can have this rendering , this deep and soft color in the same time, this relief , this "no-aggressiveness" when watching with these "soft" lines and edges not hypersharp (and don't forget obligatory scanner step of digitalization , if not , it will be better) Thanks for posting JM and as said JM "Que Viva Velvia" Best Henry Edited August 31, 2017 by Doc Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonio, I am not a fan for beoon scan ... it's like you shoot in digital Sorry to be frank ! we use "film" and as said Phil above to escape this system and we fall again in ! ... but it's better you make a comparison between beoon and scanner to see and if you can , please post here the result Best regards Henry Edited August 31, 2017 by Doc Henry 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the unsharp setting is on, it oversharpens everything. If the setting is off, the scan is really soft and must be sharpened via software. I have been using this second option with this workflow: 1 scan at 2400/3200 dpi with no sharpening 2 save to tiff 3 correction/cleaning in Lightroom 4 export to JPG 5 sharpening in Photoshop with high pass filter (I have automated this last step so I can sharpen all the photos together) Unfortunately there's a lot of digital also in this process.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Antonio as I said to Jakob (TMx) with his V600, buy Epson V700 or V750 second hand better than V600 at a reasonable price around 200-250 Euros. In addition take "ANR Glass of betterscanning" to increase the rendering. I admit with you that when you scan you digitalize. Better is print through your enlarger !

Reeray Posted August 31, 2017 Share #39354 Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) @ Henry, I have exactly the flatbed setup you recommend, I.e. Epsom V750, Betterscan ANR adapter etc.It's total rubbish with 35mm.Looks good at web size, but that's all. It's fine with MF but in all aspects it's really just a compromise to a dedicated scanner or a high res digitised scan.I wouldn't recommend a flatbed for 35mm. The Beoon which you dislike leaves it way behind and Digitised scans can be manipulated to accentuate sharpness or otherwise. Just as we did years back with soft effect filters or indeed development processes to adjust to taste.What is interesting however is flatbed scanning a print. This produces some lovely tones (don't know how). I've posted this image previously but it's a good example of a flatbed scanned print, which it is.

Curiously, I think it is an excellent scan and I really like the tonality. This is much better than the previous post in my humble opinion. Film scans get softer with size, so it's very normal that scans look soft at large scanning resolutions. If you inspect film grain at high magnification with microscope or high magnification loupe, all you see is clouds Edited August 31, 2017 by edwardkaraa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Ricoh Posted August 31, 2017 Share #39356 Posted August 31, 2017 Thanks Edward. I'm not yet sure what the "typical Tri-X" looks like, so some more experimenting to do.

It's been 30 years since I did home dev, should be fun! Ray, from discussions we've had elsewhere, you use a BEOON plus enlarger lens (I'm heading in the same direction). What digital camera did you use and how much or little post processing did you give, inversion of course, a bit with curves or did you push the contrast slider?

What digital camera did you use and how much or little post processing did you give, inversion of course, a bit with curves or did you push the contrast slider? I use a Fuji XT-1, simply because that camera has live view and my other digital cameras don't. It was a PITA getting the correct tubes as neither combination of Beoon tubes works. In the end I got a set of Ebay. PP is minimal. I digitise for a flat full range, import straight into Photoshop, invert and then over to Niks SEFX. I have a few pre-sets that I use involving curves, contrast, etc. I'd say 5 minutes per image. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My time is soon here, delivery today I'll be using my M240 with 50mm Summilux initially, will move to enlarger lens no doubt (El-Nikkor plentiful). I have LR, PS (CS6) and Nik suite to play with, but lightly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
