<p>I don't know why I struggle with portraits a bit- so I've been working on that this week...Ilford xp2+ Fuji 800</p>

<div></div>

<p>Seems like I've only had pizza and weddings in October!</p>

<div></div>

<p>Richard those are awesome!<br>

I have a sleeping friend...pizza...and a wedding...random week</p><div></div>

<p>Yes- thanks to Leo- and I love his street scene + Sander's night stuff! Everyone is posting good stuff- I'm going to try to post every week too :)<br>

October will be wedding crazy....so be prepared for that :) this week...possibly...desserts!</p>

<p>Peter do you mean a gel of some sort?<br>

Q.G. - ha, yes that would be easier, but seems like cheating- and not nearly as random :)</p>

<p>Love that holga shot Richard! Ok- this is probably the most random roll of film ever. Started with an editorial food shoot, stopped for coffee and noticed the shrubs on the way home and still had 2 shots so I tried a couple of multiple exposures :)<br>

Hasselblad 500cm 400H</p>

<p>This might not really belong here, but seems like lots of you have scanner knowledge so I'll give it a go!<br>

I started experimenting yesterday with overlaying negatives and scanning them with my cheapy film scanner. I like the effect, but I wish I could get the color a bit more realistic and less grainy. I played with all the color controls in the scanner software, but still very blue, grainy, and blown out in spots.<br>

Any suggestions for doing this better? I'm kind of obsessing over it :) Thanks!</p><div></div>

<p>Mark- I don't really have enough experience with MF to offer you a comparison, but I will say that I have been enjoying my Hasselblad 500cm very much. I paid about $1200 for the set (body, finder, back and 80mm lens ex condition from KEH). I love the 6x6 format as well and I have not regretted this purchase for a second! The learning curve is not bad at all and even the 5x5 proof prints are beautiful.<br>

That said though if you already ordered a Bronica you might as well use that for awhile :)</p>

<p>This is all I have to contribute so far this week- hopefully I'll have something else in a few days. Leo- your Reala color is so so pretty!<br>

500CM 80mm, 400H I was helping with an editorial shoot and just shot a roll</p>

<p> </p><div></div>

<p>Ok before I do this let me get this straight...</p>

<p>Take a photo- put in the slide, take off the back, then wind...put the back back on and then take another exposure. Is that right?</p>

<p>And I should underexpose a 1/2 stop for each if I'm doing 2 exposures? Or a stop each? this is confusing me!</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>Thank you Shash- I really liked your photos too. Lots of great stuff in this thread!<br>

Sander- those are just brilliant! love love love</p>

<p>I have more favorites now that I got my film back :)</p>
