Film Camera Week for June 22

[ATTACH=thumb]1251292[/ATTACH]

 

On Saturday I developed a roll I shot with my Record III last week, unfortunately it had an undiscovered light leak along one edge of the bellows. :(

Hello everyone. Randal, I see you met the guy's who run "Aloha Salsa" . Which one is Fabio? If he is the cook, bring a handful of statins for his killer breakfast burrito. Sooo good!!. . .sooo bad for our aging, plugged arteries !! Aloha from the mainland. Bill

Hello Again

 

I just got this roll back from the processor FotoExpress in San Jose, CA

I got them scanned this evening and half of them run through PS so thought I would post a few.

These came out of the Canonet QL17 GIII and the film is Fuji Pro400h, Not bad on the color, for me anyway!

I hope you will honestly critique my scanning, I am trying to do less as it is more, but let me know if you see something I need to correct, ie: too much, too little cyan,red blue,yellow or green.magenta.

Thanks

Aloha Bill, Fabio is the cook. Mike is the taller server. Sorry no new photos today. Got my neck fixed. Have to spend the night in Tripler. Expect discharge tomorrow AM if all goes well.

I have some Rodinal I may give it a try next time and I need to try HC110 at dil. H as well.

 

Like Mike, I like to use dil. H for HP5, and feel it's a great combination. However, HP5 in Rodinal for me really doesn't work; not a combination I'd recommend (I do however like Tri-X in Rodinal).

Those scans are looking pretty good, Don, in my humble opinion. However, there does seem to be a problem with a strong blue cast creeping into shadows and highlights, in the pic of the flowerpot and the last image of the garden. I had a quick shot at correcting this in Photoshop, but to no avail; it's too extreme and too isolated in the colour range. I've not encountered this problem myself, and I can only surmise that you're using a pre-set profile in the scanning, and have selected an inappropriate one. Try adjusting your colour balance using the manual settings at the preview stage, prior to scanning. It could also be due to poor film processing or heat-damaged film...

Thanks Rick

I did notice the last photo when I was done seemed to have a little too much blue, in preview I am trying to adjust down on the cyan and I do not remember if I bumped up the blue, should I adjust a little down on the blue toward yellow? Should I cut back on saturation, etc.

 

I am just scanning and then adjusting each, ie; cyan/red green/magenta and blue/yellow to what looks good on my screen. I was told on some previous scans I had way too much cyan so I keeping trying to shy away from that end.

 

again thanks for the comments,

Don

I really like the sad sack cone. The flowers look good, but I think they're upside down.

Nice! That's a very rare car, over here.

Well, it sounds as if you're doing everything right, once again in my opinion! Having spent a few years processing and printing film, I'd have my suspicions about the quality of the film and/or the processing, in this instance. Incidentally, it pays not to make adjustments in the red/cyan arena unless really necessary, but work in the yellow/blue, green/magenta. Cyan adjustments affect the other colours quite dramatically.

Having read your post again, Don I'm wondering if you make any colour adjustments at the preview stage, ie. before scanning?

Hello Rick

Yes I am using the Epson scan to adjust while in preview before I do the final scan.

 

I ran the rest through PS and did see a lot of blue in some of the photos, I have tried to adjust and here are some results. I may have wrecked some of the other colors trying to make the changes.

 

anyway here are a few

 

Umbrellas

 

red flower

warning

 

wall plant

 

 

and this one had a lot of blue especially in the concrete at the bottom left and now I think the green is off??

I redid the full size scan and just changed the blue, better?

 

 

and the first one

Well, I'd stick with my original analysis of abnormal film or processing. The grey areas definitely shouldn't have that strong blue cast, even in the shade. I altered levels in your better garden scan, as below, which I feel improved it, but I can't get rid of the blue in the wood, and highlight areas. I really can't make any other suggestions.
