your portraits are just amazing. One of my favourites is your son facing the cat from your LFI portfolio.

 

May I ask how you process your negatives to digital?

 

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the kind comment. I have access to a dark room in the biology department where I work, but these days I mostly use a local film studio in London, Ontario, called All Things Film. They have a membership program, so developing is quite cheap and the scanning is high-end, with multiple options (e.g., Fuji vs Noritsu). Cheers

What story might this piece of driftwood tell?

Cloudy day at the Lafayette Reservoir. MP | 35mm APO | FP 4| Orange filter.

The first image is my Lightroom edit of the scan I received from the lab.

The image below is the unedited scan.

I'd really rather not do so much editing on my film photos, but there's so much room for improvement in the straight scans that I can't leave them alone. 

I'll also try to print this negative in the darkroom, but don't think I'll get close to the Lightroom version, which required nine masks to make local corrections. Not likely I'll be able to replicate all that with dodging and burning. But maybe the negative will print better than the straight scan looks.

OK, a "nothing" picture, but my son invited me to go to Fredericksburg to see the Museum of the Pacific for WWII. He took the DS M3 I gave him last month, and I took my M4 that I bought in college in 1968, with a v2 35 Summicron I added a year later. Keeping the vintage mode I loaded Portra 400 that expired in 2013 that I found in a drawer. I used my Leicameter MR4 since the museum lighting we very dim with some floods and lots of shadows. Just exposed at box speed in spite of the film age, but f2 at 1/15 was typically still underexposed. Processed normally in Cinestill C41 in my AGO processor default program. Overall the colors still look true, but film age has some effects.

No flash allowed, and the inconspicuous quiet M4 is still ideal for this situation.
