Rav,

Your picture looks very fine to me, maybe the light wasn�t that good, so it can be the reason to not have the snap you are looking for.

People like to use curves, I don�t use too much in BW Photography, except when I got bad negatives. I prefer to use dodge and burn tools and sometimes a little toning. Maybe you could try some of those on your image.

 

Here is a picture that was croped 15%, had the wires on sky removed (I hate manipulating but...), and has dodge/burn and some toning. I think this has a "snap", don�t know if this "snap" is the kind you are looking for.<div></div>

Hi,

 

After scanning more than 340 images during 2 weeks when I had acess

to a film scanner, I decided to delete several of the pictures in my

Portfolio to add the newer (better) ones. I had around 60 photos. When

I deleted 40 of those images, to upload new ones, it is said I can?t

upload now more than 25!

 

I want to know if there is a way to have this problem solved. I don?t

really want to wait a month puting a new picture to critique day by

day just to be able to upload a number of pictures that I was able to

do in the past!

 

Can someone help me? I really don?t want to post critiques and

comments on other peoples images and portfolios just to be able to do

that, it is not fair with those photographers.

 

Thanks!

The brazilian guy murdered in London has NOT his visa expired, and there are other lies "people" told on news to defend the police officers at that time. Unfortunately my English is bad, so I can�t write with precision some facts that apeared briefly on news here in Brazil.

Stephen, what model of Tokina was used? I have a 17mm f3.5 RMC and it doesn�t look to have this "extreme" barrel distortion.

 

Sorry for not answering your question Frederick.

In most cases I think negative films reacts to little overexposure very well, but my (little) experience says Ilford PanF is a exception. If this is the film Jonathan is speaking of, it may be better to read more toughts of our friends.

28mm for me.

It is ok to (government) use this technology in airports?

<div></div>

I would go to Provia 100 mainly AND 400 (for those rare situations in low light).

Ken, not exactly what you want but... have you take a look on Photoshop (FILE > AUTOMATE > WEB PHOTO GALLERY) ?

I don�t have the Nikon Coolscan V but scanned more than 40 frames on it in a friend�s house. None of the pictures showed me all the area of the images. They had this black frames as the sample above but none was 100%. Was this caused by user error? I don�t think so, but I know it can be. I have samples with the same image scanned in Minolta IV and Nikon V if you want.

To me the boomerangs are reflections of the light in the bike. And then the format is because the panning was not very flat.

We are waiting Ole...

I think that Jonas, Jordan and Stephen got what I was trying to ask. If someone have anything to say, please do it.

Sorry if I haven?t made it clear, it may be my bad English. When we use a infrared filter with an infrared film we record only infrared light. Since in the sky there is no IR light, can I say I am photographing the space (not the sky) and the Earth with this combination of film and filter? As analogy, would it be like seeing trought the clothes of a person with the filter on the lens? In this case clothes = sky.

Is it well explained now? Thanks!

This may be a very stupid question but... what am I recording in the

sky with IR film? The sky itself isn?t, because it reflects no IR

light, right? Is this the space? Or nothing?

I once asked a question about Konica IR and received a good answer, the one I will write to you. I don?t have much experience so it is not definitive, when using a red filter use 1/30 and something between f5.6 and f8 but only in bright days, use the times of "The Massive Dev Chart" and forget ISO ratings. The only problem is that I use ID-11 and you plan to use Xtol...

If the day is cloudy maybe it is no good idea use IR films because you will not get that effect.<div></div>

I am one of the film guys too, now looking for a good used Pentax or Mamiya 6x7. :)

NO,

Jean was not illegal in England as "media" said, he was legal, and a cousin (if I remember well) said he was punched in face by some people on the streets one week before he get murdered without any reason. You know how safe are the streets in a country who believe everyone can be a terrorist, especially if you have black hair and not so white skin. If you know there are people running to catch you what would you do? Shouting to stop without having police officer clothes are no argument to defend the murderers.

I hope I can see the video from subway showing what those killers done. Only a stupid person would believe in the version the BRITISH GOVERNMENT gave to the case, their intent is to minimize their stupidity. Can�t believe someone can defend that!

I will use Delta 3200 rated as 102400 and develop with ID-11. So I

have some questions:

 

- I only have ID-11 here, what would you use, stock or 1:1? Why?

 

- How long would you develop and how (I am thinking about agitation

tecnique)?

 

Because I have not a scanner I will not promise to put the results

soon, but will do it when I get acess to a decent scanner. Thanks!

Are you sure it is not digital? Looks digital and some PS to me.

I don�t use TMX and Rodinal so I can�t say anything about your "question".

But I have one, have you used a polarizer? This picture looks very good to me, I can tell you the same about many that are in your folders.

I don?t do much night shots but never had any problem with my 70-300D ED 4-5.6 AF with Nikon L37c. The same for 50mm 1.8D AF. But with my 28mm 2.8 AF I must be careful to not have ghost images, even without any filter.

I think Mike is mistaken with the last 2 advices, and Nigel is correct.

Alan,

 

Could it be a problem on your scanner not getting focus on film because it is not very flat?
