don_boyd3 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 <p>Seth, Are you sure the lens hood you're using is the right one for your Vivitar. I bet the hood is doing the vignetting on your Dolphin pic. Also here's a way of determining which lens manufacturer made your Vivitar lens.</p> <p>http://www.cameraquest.com/VivLensManuf.htm</p> <p>Don B in Hampton Roads</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seth_kelly Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 <p>Don,<br> I checked the serial number of the lens and it looks like its made by Komine. I also don't actually have a lens hood on this lens, so all the vignetting must be from the lens itself. I was pretty disappointed with the lens to be honest and just figured there must be something wrong with it. I only see that vignetting at the 28mm end, so I end up just using it a little bit more zoomed in most of the time. <br> Thanks for taking a minute to look through some of my photos.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phyliss_crowe Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 <p>Thanks! I really wanted to get the lower curve of his body in the frame, but it was below the edge of his "environment" and would've included the outside wall so it wouldn't have been visible anyway.</p> <p>I guess he made up for it "smiling" directly at the camera.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_de_ley Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 <p>Hey I cant believe I missed two days of fun! We've actually had two or three FD picture posts over the past month though, so dont underestimate our collective urge to upload Andy. Let's see if this one will make it past the size limits on uploads...</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_de_ley Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 <p>By the way Luis, isn't Bambi's brother called Bamboo? ;-D<br /> Here's another shot with the same setup that was given a rather strange color treatment by VueScan on my FS4000 scanner, for some reason negatives exposed to brighter light on the same roll tend to come out too grainy and oversaturated.</p> <p> </p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_guthrie Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 <p>I got this one yesterday. It's nothing special, but it was my first shot using IR film. I still haven't figured out the best way to expose it, and I pretty much guessed on the development time. The scan quality is poor as my good scanner is busted, and I'm stuck using the old one I bought from a thrift store for $1. The picture was shot with my F-1, using a 24mm 2.8 FD lens on Rollei IR 400 film.</p> <p><img src="http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj268/Frontman7/FirstIRscan.jpg" alt="" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Collins Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 <p><strong>Paul</strong> --Those are really nice shots, especially the 2nd one. I love the color and the detail in the trees. Were both shot with the Vivitar? If so, that lens is a great performer.</p> <p><strong>E.L.</strong> --That's a cool shot; it almost looks like a diorama except that all of the detail is obviously quite real. Very nice!</p> <p><strong>Cesar</strong> --Outstanding b&w shots! Such rich tones and beautiful grain. I love these!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Collins Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 <p>Welcome, James! Cool shot--what camera and lens combo did you use? Hope to see you post a lot more.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_sampayan Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 <p>Thanks for the welcome Andy. I hope to post more often as well.<br> The chicken is an old pic. A-1 with 50mm (1.8) if I recall; tri-x. It's a scanned negative and I'm not sure what's going on with the color. I'm still new at scanning negs and haven't played around enough with my scanner settings to figure out what's going on.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou_Meluso Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 <p><strong>This is a test</strong>. This is one of Don Boyd wonderful FD shots. I am working with Don offline so he can post images in-line here.<br> Don- I've back stepped through your scanning process. The scans look great, I'll get back to you offline with some workflow ideas.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_sampayan Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 <p>Nice shot of that mill Jeff; hopefully it's still standing! Do you know if it's classified as a historic structure or something?</p> <p>Another one from me - scanned negative, still trying to figure out settings.</p> <p><img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/9508639-md.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="451" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
