Both look good to me Steve, but the lower one seems to have a fair bit extra contrast with maybe blown highlights that might make any further processing more difficult.

Phil, both were processed independently at separate moments in time. The highlights in the second version do appear to be on the verge of being blown, but that's easily fixed.

Generally I prefer the Plustek output, however, as can be seen, the negative holder supplied with the Plustek cuts the extreme vertical edges when two half frames are scanned together. In hind sight, a flat bed scanner would have been a better, but I have to live with the choice I made. I also have to remind myself this is merely a hobby and attempt to keep the GAS under control. (Having said that I've just purchased another lens - photography is like a black hole if you allow it!!)

Truly excellent micro-selfie, Edward. Very enjoyable, and has everything such a photo should have. I'm so happy to see someone else shooting like this; makes me feel less strange :D

 

Selfie, or the narcissistic practice of photographing oneself in the mirror :D

 

Beirut, 2017.

Welcome to LUF and to the internet's pole star of film photography. I particularly like this one, which is a very effective reduction of a scene to its most basic elements.

Great print quality here! I regret selling my SA21 now, I needed more time to learn the lens, though I seldom got such even exposure from it as you have here.

I've heard it's a little uneven with digital M's but on my M4-2 i've had wonderful results from it, always nice and even and lovely sharpness and contrast.

Paul I love that you’re from half-way around the world and yet wound up in Murrieta. That’s my hometown and I used to go to that very VW dealership for service on my cars ha! What a small world.

 

 

Abram,

 

I expected comments on my new film shots, but yours is entirely "live"! So, no need to point out that most of my current uploads are from Murrieta and around. OK, a bit further than just "around", ha, ha! Yeah, I spent two weeks there, late November. I just fell in love with the place and the state in general.

Sincere, thanks, Phil. Ha, ha, yes, if I only knew the luminosity of office building lights in terms of number of foot candles, and had I only been in a rush, I just may have been able to come home with a heroic story like Adams' :)  Instead, I simply burned through a few exposures trying my luck and freezing my balls off. :)

This is incredible. You keep upping your own ante, Adam. You'll have to have that meter surgically inserted somewhere that you can't forget it! Not that forgetting it mattered at all - a bit like Ansel with Moonrise! Those earlier inclement weather pics are fabulous, too.

 

Very prim and proper aesthetically perfect photo, Philip.  You magic color rendition is creeping into the Ektar, leaving me to deduce that it is your workflow and not so much the film that makes the magic :)

Literally a stone's throw (albeit a fairly long one) from Pichon Baron is Pichon Comtesse which was part of the same estate initially but split off in 1850. It's much less magnificent imho but still a nice building.

These colors are sublime.  And I just love the carvings into the mountain.  I'd love to go there one day...
