Advertisement Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Hi vic vic, Take a look here jerusalem - the old city. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
chilihead Posted July 31, 2007 Share #2 Posted July 31, 2007 Great subject! However - because of the predominate high contrast (bright sun and shadow) found in these street scenes, I would say you are developing far too much! You are getting good exposure in your shadows (black coats, shadows etc) but the washed out sunlit stone walls and sky indicate a dense over developed negative! Reduce your agitation and reduce your development time by 30 or 40% (to start, adjust from there) and you will immediately see a vast improvement in your next new prints of the same sunlit scenes! Sunlit stone will print as a textured wonderful palette of light greys, replacing those bleak and burned out whites that predominate these images! Not only that - finer grain and smoother gradation as a bonus! I dare you to do one roll like I suggest - (same sunny scenes, same exposure but 30 - 40% less development) and see the difference a great negative makes!

Guest Motivfindender Posted July 31, 2007 Share #3 Posted July 31, 2007 nice pictures, indeed. Reduce your agitation a double meaning ? Dirk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic vic Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted July 31, 2007 peter thanks man.... about film development.... i agree with u that it doesnt look perfect, and indeed those are just a fast proof scans without even basic photoshoping.... the negatives.. i always develop negatives according to my enlarging needs (darkoom).... many times i love the denser negative and then printing it with good base of yellow exposure for bright tones in split grading printing technique........ indeed, those type of neagtives are always very tricky for scanning.... jerusalem stones are unique - physically and symbolically ... so i want to give them a specific substance in darkroom... kind of physical tangability but with high luminosity reflected .... hard to explain it verbally........ anyway about sun..... im israelly so u can imagine that im experienced with sunny conditions and negative for print ) dirk oder gisela......... where the f*** are your photos ?? thanks ) "reduce aggitation"??? ........... hahhaha......... wow, i would like to see how and if u can stand my blitz ) do u have anything more sofisticated to say ??

Hi vic... First of all: The photos are damn good. My photos are where they are - in my Cam, my slide show, ... I just started with digital photogaphy and my learning curve has not even started. Until now I did not purchase a Scanner yet - so you have to wait... Wasted all my money for my car... shit. Perhaps one day you will be happy not to have seen them before.. and you will start begin not to post them longer... Well - tell me about the Palestinensian puppie in the one Photo, I am interested to hear the story about it. Dirk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
