Photo Forum / Film Photography / 35 mm / August 2008For you FILM lovers !
Here's one from the vault, taken of course with the Fabulous EOS-1V: http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/102125419/original Oh yeah, and since this is apparently now a FILM group I'd be remiss in not mentioning the Fuji NPS 160 FILM that I used for that shot. I don't recall much about the various film formulations, but I think NPS was supposed to be a good portrait film. I'd like to make a project to scan at least one old negative or slide per day. That's about as large a workflow that the old Minolta SE5400 can handle. Man, is it slow, especially with the inappropriately named Silverfast software. I encourage anyone else to post their own old film shots as well. And if anybody is still stuck in the dark ages and still using film, then post some of your current stuff. Final note for David Nebenzahl: "Bite me!" > And if anybody is still stuck in the dark ages and still > using film, then post some of your current stuff. <Sigh...> You guys *really* need to find a way to get yourselves over this...

Maybe they'll even get it to look like that film stuff... :-) OMG - I just realized how old I will be in 50 years. :-( Just think what truly developed Foveon might look like if they got it out of Sigma's hands. -Jim > Here's one from the vault, taken of course with the Fabulous EOS-1V: > http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/102125419/original [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Final note for David Nebenzahl: "Bite me!"

[...] Note: This post is positively *on topic* for this group (r.p.e.35mm). [giving credit where credit is due] Signature"In 1964 Barry Goldwater declared: 'Elect me president, and I will bomb the cities of Vietnam, defoliate the jungles, herd the population into concentration camps and turn the country into a wasteland.' But Lyndon Johnson said: 'No! No! No! Don't you dare do that. Let ME do it.'" - Characterization (paraphrased) of the 1964 Goldwater/Johnson presidential race by Professor Irwin Corey, "The World's Foremost Authority". > Here's one from the vault, taken of course with the Fabulous EOS-1V: > http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/102125419/original [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > don't recall much about the various film formulations, but I think NPS > was supposed to be a good portrait film. Yeah too bad you flat lighted that charming gal and removed all the great quality of that film. Shame. > I'd like to make a project to scan at least one old negative or slide > per day. > That's about as large a workflow that the old Minolta SE5400 can > handle. C'mon, I used to do a couple rolls a day (often with ICE) on my good 'ole 5400 at 4 passes per scan. (Firewire my boy). Great scanner and after something on the order of 5000 slides/negs through it I got $500 cash for it. > Man, is it slow, especially with the inappropriately named Silverfast > software. Useless crap. Use the native Minolta s/w for slides and optionally VueScan for negatives. > I encourage anyone else to post their own old film shots as well. > And if anybody is still stuck in the dark ages and still using film, > then post some of your current stuff. Coming up on your nearest shoot-in. Actually new and film ... but, gosh it might be 56mm x 56mm. That makes it nearly double qualified for the 35mm group, right? Or 3.6X on a surface basis... > Final note for David Nebenzahl: "Bite me!" He can bite you. I think he may have a contagion. Ah, heck, here's a 35mm scan from the vault. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6297372 Nikon 9000ED scanner; Sensia 100; Maxxum 9 with Maxxum 28-70 f/2.8; available light; f/8 1/15. But David can still bite Bret.

I got a dirty great big bank of WD 7000 RPM hard drives in Raid 3 layout with 3 terabytes of storage in it. Amongst all those pictures I found this one. I almost got a hard on thinking about Bret when I looked at it. How fitting if goes here in this thread: http://www.d-mac.info/example1/film.htm ROTFL. Totally off topic post too! I used a 6x9 CM Fuji camera I bought for $650 at a cameraholics sale and later sold for $1200 after taking this and many other memorable (plus a few saleable) photos with it. Ahhh Yes. The heady days of film and the uncertainty of it all. Did I or did I not compensate for the highlights? Oh well we'll know in a week or two! Scanned on some crappy POS I can't even remember brand but it was a flat bed I can guarantee that much. > Amongst all those pictures I found this one.

In the future, try to keep me out of your masturbatory fantasies. I feel so dirty! Oh well, if it keeps you away from the little girls I'm happy to do my part. I remember that pic as well. It remains to this day one of the few pics you've posted that I have commented favorably on. I'm sure that's why you cherish it, my domination of your thoughts being so thorough. I believe I said it was a "cool pic" or something to that effect. Since then, of course, you have often tried to imply that you faked me out with the fake lightning. As if.

If exposed properly and scanned on equipment of minimal quality. Like anything else, there are such things as use and mis-use... > That's about as large a workflow that the old Minolta SE5400 can > handle. That 'splains a lot. Had you stayed current and used equipment from this millenium, you'd have noticed a marked improvement. > I encourage anyone else to post their own old film shots as well. > And if anybody is still stuck in the dark ages and still using film, > then post some of your current stuff. Quite often. You just have to look. > Final note for David Nebenzahl: "Bite me!" Don't think that will help with the scan quality, but knock yourself out! > Annika1980 wrote,on my timestamp of 25/08/2008 7:31 AM: > > >http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/102125419/original > > Too bad you didn't use some photoslop to get rid of > the flat lighting... Yeah, that one was taken with the old 550EX flash on camera so whatcha gonna do? Somebody told me that if I used an umbrella I'd get better results, but that didn't work. Maybe Misty wasn't holding it right. .

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Annika1980 <annika1980@aol.com> saying something like: >And if anybody is still stuck in the dark ages and still using film, I use both; digital isn't everything, you know. I really do like digital, but film still has a quality that is hard to achieve with digital for some shots, which is why I keep a few film cams. Of course, the fact that some very desireable film cams are now worth a fraction of what they were has nothing to do with it. SignatureDave |
