John, Kodak intended Ektar to be used a C-41 alternative to E6, it is very smooth grained and capable of recording fine details. Good detail has been recorded here, but this is far more grainy than I would expect from correctly exposed and processed 35mm Ektar. I think there is possibly something going on within your workflow with either the film processing, film scanning, pp or any combination of those stages. Happy to try help you sort it out, if you wish. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is fabulous, just my kind of a photograph. Now I am more than persuaded that the 10 rolls of Fomapan 100 which I ordered, and yet not started using, were not a folly. Thank you sincerely, verwackelt and Pritam. I found Fomapan 100 a lovely "old school" film much like early FP4 or Agfapan 100 and, looking at the negatives I have from that trip where I used it quite a lot, I too am inclined to think I'll use more of it again. There is a caveat to that, in that many of the negatives had scratches running along their length - which is why I haven't used it again. However those rolls were manufactured 10+ years ago and I have confidence now that they'll have sorted out whatever the problem was. Ii look forward to seeing results from both of you! 11 hours ago, Kl@usW. said: Adding to the undocumented sub-thread: the shadow force..

One thing that having three of these sorts of pictures in quick succession reminds us is that film has a very innate cinematic quality. I also likes to be "torture tested" in extreme conditions where still its gentle gradation shines through (quite literally in yours and Xicara's pictures!) 9 hours ago, Ouroboros said: Puzzlewood #4.

Quite apart from the magic contributed by your lovely choice of film and gear, there is a very nuanced mind at work here finding the optimal compositions. And to my eyes that clouded-over autumnal scene is even more rich with colour than the sunny ones - as is this scene with all those beautiful shades of green. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The yellow field was my starting point, then I wanted to do something with the lines, especially the line of the wire. It was a line of utility, tensile potential speaking to force beyond the frame. What is a book but a creation of something unexpected waiting to be discovered, realized? There's history in the margins; it's what I was exploring. How can the map of a country on a sphere attain any fidelity represented on a two-dimensional surface? Looking at Jasper Johns's Map (Based on Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion Airocean World), what's interesting is the painting is a starting point that prompts reconstructing an assembled map in the mind from the fragmented construction. Mapping is such a potent metaphor because it calls into play the lay of landscape, but there's also aerial perspective, an overhead view, sometimes looking simultaneously down at the landscape as in Wayne Thiebaud's work. Thank you, Rog. Learned something again--just spent an hour pondering over the advantages of an isohedron over an octahedron in cartography--and the Dymaxion ! Isn't it wonderful that there is so much to learn and see and enjoy ! And thank you again for the nudge... vor 13 Stunden schrieb Xícara de Café: Welcome, dear visitor!

And the lines, look how the faint wisp of cloud follows the lines of the roofs and the rocks. Terrific stuff. Thank you philipus! 🙏 The deckchairs really amuse me. Why are they where they are?

I think there is possibly something going on within your workflow with either the film processing, film scanning, pp or any combination of those stages. Happy to try help you sort it out, if you wish. Hello I certainly expected better and have been going back through the workflow to see what went wrong. For a moment I thought maybe it was an expired roll that got mixed up with the fresh batch but on double-checking it was not that. The exposure is good but the lens (Vario-Elmar 4/35-70) is rather slow for the evening light so maybe shooting wide open for distance shots is not a good idea (remember to pack the tripod). The other possibility (having looked closely at the grain structure and compared with other rolls) is duff chemicals in the mini-lab that I used. Not being able to process C41 at home and living in a town where the last mini-lab closed down about eight years ago, I have been trying to find a good lab, mostly by mail-order. One lab was doing a good job until it decided to fold the film rather than roll it up to save on the return postage so I tried a different one. None of the four rolls I put through came back looking particularly good so I think I have learned a lesson about C41 processing: choose a good lab that takes care but, importantly, has fresh chemicals and enough through-put to keep the machine in good order. It was all so much easier when a bottle of well-preserved ID11 and good-quality fixer (not to mention dust-free drying) was enough to get consistent, reliable results. I guess I am still looking for a good mini-lab. Cheers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
