dgc Posted March 30, 2016 Share #13121 Posted March 30, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) It depends to a degree on how you intend to process them afterwards, specifically if you use ColorPerfect or not. This is a manual I found useful a long time ago after lots of trial and error, simply because it resulted in an OK enough scan. It may not be of much assistance if you already know Vuescan a bit so let us know what your main problems are and which films are causing difficulty and we'll find a solution. Thanks Philip. Downloaded and printed for some weekend trials. I only tend to use LR for post processing. I will post a few over the weekend from my trials and will welcome comment. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Henry Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share #13122 Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) NYC dry cleaner/tailor/cosmetics model M3, 50 DR cron, tri-x Well seen Central Park, NYC EKTAR here's a tri-x version, which I stopped down more... also not a keeper... Adam, you're a real purist, one camera with b&w film , another with color.and you're right. The conversion color into b&w is "bastard" and reminds me a lot the same conversion in digital . Black is not uniform (well seen when crop) ! For this type of picture park bench and snow, I prefer b&w more relief and contrast Sorry Adam because I know you love Ektar Best Henry Edited March 30, 2016 by Doc Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgc Posted March 30, 2016 Share #13124 Posted March 30, 2016 here's a tri-x version, which I stopped down more... also not a keeper... I think you are being a tad harsh on yourself here. I think the colour image converted into black and white showing more contrast in the benches would work really well - that is, the green slats almost black. Exposure looks really good with the snow being white and detail as well. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JMF Posted March 30, 2016 Share #13126 Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Need a wide angle? I used 53mm in 6x9 format, which is a little over 23mm in 35mm format. That's not wide enough?? I actually think this could be a winner as a large 5-6 foot tall life-size print; like you are standing face-to-face with a giant chrome super-hero Adam, thinking aloud this morning... is there space on the left to shift the camera and clear his right (left of frame) arm from the building in the back without loosing the Trump/very thin tall building itself ? Since the giant is looking left of frame , a little more space keeping him slightly right of frame might be interesting, imho :-) Or shifting the camera position to the right loosing the distant tree behind his legs (pun intended) and panning left framing the figure inbetween both tall buildings could be an idea ?! Hope we can visit that location together some day !! Edited March 30, 2016 by jmanivelle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exposure looks really good with the snow being white and detail as well. Thanks, David. I don't know; I like this type of shot but I think I would like it better with more depth and also with a lighting situation that is more gray and possible a little foggy, with more genuine mid-tones; sort of a whimsical feel. The one I took is a dime a dozen... Adam, thinking aloud this morning... is there space on the left to shift the camera and clear his right (left of frame) arm from the building in the back without loosing the Trump/very thin tall building itself ?

Hope we can visit that location together some day !! Thanks, Jean Marc. My main goal was to get the camera as dead center b/n the two streets (and int he middle of the man) and perfecfly aligned and level as possible. I was dealing with ground glass and a loupe that made even this small task a big challenge. I was also very low to the ground, which require squatting, mostly in the busy street, which only strained my view even more. So much of what I got was based on guess work and estimations, unfortuantely. If I had a much clearer view, I might have been able to tweak the POV while maintaining dead-center and aligned ssymmetry, which was my main goal. I have ordered a 48" tall print on glossy Ilford Baryta paper;I shall see what it is like to have a real life stare down with the chrome super hero! This man is in this place until July; so make your vacation plans soon!! I am here waiting for you! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case I am making a print from a scan using a lightjet printer and ilford B&W photo paper, from Whitewall in Germany. Primary reason is b/c I applied some slight vertical leveling that I don't think I can achieve with the neg in the darkroom... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
