I was trying to load the 120 film into camera, as usual, but it doesn't seem to recognize it and the frame counter remains at 00. I tried to unload and load the film again - same result. Took the battery off and put it back on, disconnected film back and attached it again. The film still doesn't advance to 01 frame. What can be the issue - film back or a camera itself? Unfortunately I don't have another film back to try it. Thanks in advance!

<p>Hi Randy, you can take a look at the series here: http://www.instants-secrets-photography.lu/#!Beautiful-love-story-captured-on-film/e199k/564ede9f0cf2afbb050ac9f9</p>

<p>Thanks to everyone for advising! I have actually shot a full love story session on film last weekend and just asked the lab to add a bit of pinkish tones while scanning, rather than yellow. The pictures turned out great - there were some moments of sun and clouds, but all pictures look in the same spirit throughout all the rolls, I was amazed! Overall, I didn't edit the colors at all - easiest post-processing ever! <br> Here's an example:</p> <p></p> <p></p> <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f7736a_7c38ab295acb46c9a6937330602d5cdc.jpg/v1/fit/w_1020,h_748,q_75,usm_0.50_1.20_0.00/f7736a_7c38ab295acb46c9a6937330602d5cdc.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="514" />

<p>Hi all, I am just starting to take photos of weddings and engagements on film. It is all fine when there's some sun and beautiful sunset/ sunrise light. However, as winter comes it gets less and less bright outside and the light is mostly grey.<br />Has anyone have advice on which film / settings to use to lift the photos up a bit (apart from overexposing by 1-2 stops)? Are there any scanning instructions you give to your lab to correct the light/tone?<br />Many thanks!<br />Elena<br> P.S. I initially posted this question in this forum but it has been moved by administrator to another topic, so I am bringing this back here.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi Pavel,<br> I wouldn't say that flat light is the problem but the color mostly as it can be really grey and dull. Whenever I was shooting digital I could just add a bit of flash to brighten up a couple and separate it from background, but I am trying to use just ambient light with film, I aim to have really soft images. Overexposure with film does a different trick than in digital - it makes the colors brighter and more pastel instead of blowing up the highlights. So I was wondering if there any special tricks film photographers use on cloudy days. I used the reflector as well but it didn't change the overall color (I used white one). </p>

<p>As for editing in Photoshop, I know how it works but the film is also known to give a beautiful color itself if all settings are right. I am trying to do as little post-processing as possible, so I was wondering if anyone has tips. </p>

<p>It was initially in the topic for films but the administration has moved it here... </p>
