TMY II (MORE) Image Results

[stephen sullivan]

Hello All,

 

As I said last week, that this week I'd post more of the TMY II

 

EOS 1 w/ EF 70~200 2.8L with B+W 020 @ 400EI D-76 1:1

 

These images I did manipulate in PS CS2. Upped Contrast

A personal note: IMO this particular roll of TMY II when paired with D-76 1:1 is not a 400

speed film. It seems to be closer to a 640 speed film with a great tolerance not to blow

the highlights when shot at 400.

 

The three above images were shot at 400 and I wish I had shot them at 640, if not 500.

The shadow detail is outstanding for the RBRR image. In the field, MT Si had much greater

shadows on it.

 

With the moon over the Cascades could of done better than 1/500 @ 7.1. Should of done

1/640 @ 7.1 Or switched to my B+W 040 (yellow - orange ) or B+W 090 (RED).

Did you buy the TMY II in the NW? (I have not been able to find it yet.)

What is the, "DW?"

 

The TMY II was a gift given to me from the lab that does my B&W. It was given to the lab

that does my B&W by Kodak. Kodak asked the said B&W lab to try and pass to some of their

customers. Said B&W lab was/is to report results to Kodak.

Nice. Can't wait to try some. Looks like the EOS-1 needs a film gate cleaning, or are those

scratches from something else?

 

Interesting, you're the first thats posted shots with filtration, good to see the yellow's still

work.

[stephen sullivan]

Yes, I'm going to show the 44MB TIFFs to the lab that did the processing.

 

Provia 100F & E100GX never have those marks.

Are you asking me about the DW? I wrote NW (for Northwest) where I live and, guessing from the photos, where you live too. I can't wait to try some of this film.

My Typo, "DW"

 

Yes, Pacific Northwest- Outside of Seattle.

From KODAK:<br/>

"Conversion will occur on a stock-turnover basis, beginning in December 2007."<p/>So, it looks like we won't be able to get it until the current inventory of TMY has been sold out. Bummer! I'm really anxious to shoot with this stuff.

Nos. 1 & 2 look grain-clumpy in the sky. Nice tonality, though. Since the contrast also looks higher on 1 & 2, I'm thinking that probably exaggerated the grain. I've gotten clumpy grain from the old TMY, with a 6 x 6 negative only able to withstand enlargement to 11 x 14. I wonder if this is a characteristic of TMY, whether new or old--or of development? I used TMax developer, and at the time I blamed the grain on the developer. Better with D-76, I thought at the time. But here you used D-76; so . . . ? Were all the solutions kept at the same temperature?

[stephen sullivan]

I think the funky grain was due to my scanning techniques.

 

Nikon 5000ED at 4000dpi. Crop - C&D - Save for the web. I think that's where the grain got funky. Saving a 4000 dpi file to 72 dpi for the web introduced it.
