larrydressler Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 <p>Hey she looks great and you even own a DSLR? Why? :-) I was cleaning out my freezer and found some of the old Velvia 50 in 220 in it. I need to get out and crank off a roll.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauro_franic Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 <p>I use the DSLR in the studio for commercial stuff to be printed small. It is convenient.</p> <p>I don't use the DSLR for pictures I take for myself.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 <p>LOL I have a Digital P&S I use and you know what? It gets used much less than any of my 100 other cameras. I even have the unfinished roll/Memory card problem with it... I will down load it and say. "Damn when did i take this?" LOL</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauro_franic Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 <p>It is weird, DSLR pictures make me dizzy. - not a joke.</p> <p>Velvia keeps poping through nicely....</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwmitchell Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 <p>I just got back from Italy. I took 2 35mm film cameras and left the DSLR at home as well. I shot mostly slide film (Velvia 50 and Provia 100F) and some colour negative film (Reala and Porta 160NC). I was so pleased with the Velvia results that in the future I will take just Velvia for landscape shots and some colour neg for everything else (perhaps Kodak Ektar?)<br> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 <p>Brother you got that down what scanner you using? and what software? I get dizzy just editing but that may be the fun I have.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauro_franic Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 <p>I've limited the backs I carry to only three. Tmx 100 (or 400), Velvia 50 and Ektar. I shoot 70% Tmax, 25% Velvia, 5% Ektar and 0% digital.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauro_franic Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 <p>The edge of the small leaves on the tree show a brit of the ground tremor but it is not vissible on the 24x32 print I just made. I had to actually take the gamma from 2.2 to 1.8 on the printer because of how rich Velvia is. Looks fantastic.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benny_spinoza Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 <p>I've only recently begun experimenting with E-6, and just shot off a roll of the new Velvia 50. I already have an icc profile based upon an Ektachrome target. Do you think that will be good enough for scanning Velvia? I'm obviously not a pro, so things don't have to be perfect.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mauro_franic Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 <p>This is a shot with Velvia+polarizer of a sulfer mountain. No better way to capture the yellow and blue contrast.</p> <p>This is unprocessed straight from the scan:</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mauro_franic Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 <p>Yep. <br> Straight off the slide. The polarizer adds some diagonal gradation on the sky as well.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny_spinoza Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 <p>Mauro,<br> I use a Nikon 9000 (one of my last big splurges in life). I'm starting to think that I'm getting some false colors when scanning print film because of my scanner. For example, a brownish red comes out too magenta. This happens for all Portra films. I don't blame the films, because I didn't get that problem when I used to make optical prints. At least with slides, I can use an icc profile when scanning.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen_asprey2 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 <p>"they ask where is the LCD"</p> <p>I get that all the time where I'm out. Especially with the F4s. I had one young guy come up to me and tell me I was living in the past. I was using the F4s with a 20mm AI-s. I told him to look through the viewfinder. He was stunned at the size and clarity. Film rocks.<br> I've got a D300 but it just does not do it for me and its such a hassle setting all those menus.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 <p>You do make a strong case for film shooting. Very nice.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauro_franic Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 <p>Benny, I have a Coolscan 9000 too and don't use any profiles. Mainly because the majority of my pictures are TMAX and Velvia. </p> <p>If I shoot color negatives they ussually comeout nice without any adjustments. In nature there is also not a need for the colors to be accurate as long as they look as you intended. Here you can adjust using levels per channel in PS if needed. If for some particular application you need color accuracy you can use a gray card (or color card better) when shooting.</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauro_franic Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 <p>Stephen, I agree. It goes beyond just the higher resolution of film, there is something that makes film superior - especially for landscapes- it could be the uninterpolated color or algorithm free image, I don't know. I don't see myself using my DSLR for landscapes ever in the future.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny_spinoza Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 <p>Mauro,</p> <p>How do you scan negative film with the Nikon 9000? I use SilverFast.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauro_franic Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 <p>I use Nikonscan. Either no ICE or ICE normal. Most settings off.</p> <p>Once or twice I scanned a blank frame for color temerature adjustment but the majority of the time I just adjust individual levels if needed - or no adjustment at all.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
