EoinC Posted May 22, 2016 Share #15781 Posted May 22, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Cheers mate............its all been a fantastic learning curve, which wouldn't have been possible without people like you and all the other members here on the Leica Forum. I really don't miss the gun-ho machine gun kind of photography that I was well acustom to, this film photography has slowed me down and my photography has become more celebrate .....see something and then say, would that really make a nice picture, (before I would rattle of 20 shots hoping for the best) now I just walk away or if I really think it will be something special I will take my time, check check and check again before hitting the trigger..............well, not quite there yet but that is my goal. I will be in Publika this afternoon for a coffee if you fancy it ?? Cheers, Neil. I can't get over there today, but our paths will cross again. When are you heading off?

A miller Posted May 22, 2016 Share #15784 Posted May 22, 2016 Time to go to the Color House on Lafayette St. They do everything and well. Including scanning and printing and all film sizes. I am sure they are good but I think I am going back to my old lab, CRC Vista. My current lab leaked that they (still) process E-6 film in high volume. And I called them and confirm that they process it 6 days a week. Apparently, high volume is good for the end result. My current lab told me that low volume runs the risk of getting processed film that is a little light on the blacks. Something about the density of the film base being better when the processing machine is running at high volume. It seems that my current lab is having some output problems and it may be due to the lower volume. So this is pushing them to give up their E-6 machine. They said they will probably junk it. Then they tried to sell me on the idea that most people are using strictly C-41 these days and that E-6 was really for instant gratification, etc. I didn't really buy this.... wonderful colors ........ i really do enjoy provia 100f --ektar 100 better on my trip to the SW because it will better capture highlights? Thanks, Steve. Others will differ, but my very general preference is to: -use velvia 50 for landscapes and cityscapes that (i) have punchy color as a main part of the scene, (ii) are either evenly lit or where a grad filter can balance and (iii) use a reasonably fast shutter (certainly over 1 second and sometimes much more than this as the particular type of magenta filter needed to correct the color cast too much for me to keep track of) -next, use provia 100F (or velvia 100) for cityscapes/landscapes that have a longer exposure (even up to 1 min w/o reciprocity failure, which his really good) and people photos where the contrast is not too great -next Ektar, particularly in cases of long exposures (RF sucks but that's ok b/c don't really need WB or color correction filters) or scenes with a broad range of EVs. It has much more latitude that the slide film for obvious reasons. -I keep portra 160 and 400 and fuji pro 400H in the discussion as they are great film stocks and can perform really well in MF. Great latitude and the color palette can be really lovely in the right scene. Bottom line - you can't go wrong!! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted May 22, 2016 Share #15790 Posted May 22, 2016 I'm disappointed. When I took this picture I had this vision of a WOW picture, the lake had these different tones to it and I had a foreground subject, a nice lake with all these wonderful tones and a background subject, now either the harsh sunlight, Yellow/ Orange filter coupled with a 3 stop ND filter or just my bad, either or the picture turned out shite................. I have tried to salvage it by bastardising it and in a sick kind of way I guess it looks so, so. Maybe not Welcome, dear visitor!

Tricky answer Neil. Part of me says, try em all. The other is steady as she goes, learn what you have got first. I'd possibly err on staying with what you have, but add a couple to try, something like TMax100 perhaps, to keep the same "look" and same chemicals? Try a roll of E6 as well perhaps, one thing that does make the jaw drop is seeing M/F trannies. Oh boy. Gary 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
