W/NW 2020 Pic-O'-The-Week #11


Recommended Posts

Petera (downunder), not quite sharp enough and blown out highlights. Tell me about its making. Cropped? I see that you used film. Tell me about its processing. Whatever, you've captured a singular and exceptional image here. Bravo and regards. Arthur (apiarist1)

 

Hello Arthur and thanks for your kind words I hope you and yours are travelling well. It may sound strange to you but I actually don't spend much time or thought on 'sharpness' or 'blown highlights' or anything in particular - I might change my mind if I ever see a photograph I like that is 'about' sharpness or 'not blown highlights'...

 

Regarding processing I had the Superia ( ISO200) developed in a one hour developing place which charged me $5 a roll of 24 or 36 and I bought the film for $2 a roll of 24. This image was then scanned on an Epson flatbed scanner and imported in LR - where I decided to keep the green caste caused by the fluorescent lighting and desaturate slightly - midtones and darks were modified via luminance masks.

 

the shot was made as indicated with an XPan11 and a 45 lens - I sincerely regret selling the kit which also included the rare 30mm and viewfinder as well as the 90. - but I have no interest shooting film anymore and haven't had for over ten years.

 

Cheers

Pete
