Ah, now this is interesting. Particularly the blue of the sky. My lab would usually give me an almost turquoise hue, which I didn’t get around to addressing before I stopped shooting film.
I would normally over expose by 2/3rds as the lab guy liked it that way.
Could you give us any info on your settings, development and scanning please?
@ianovic69@analog unfortunately I can’t tell you much about the camera settings, as I didn’t write them down when I took the photo. I used a light meter on my phone to get a proper exposure of the furniture. I develop at home in a Paterson tank and I DSLR scan with an Olympus em10 Mk4 with a 60mm macro. Then I convert to a positive with negative lab pro. I don’t do much adjusting after that, as Im less concerned about how my scans look as opposed to prints.
That’s amazing, I love that you develop at home. I wanted to do that myself at one point but it was not to be.
Thanks for sharing, your images are intriguing in content and the methods and tools are interesting as well. I like the look you get a lot, the reds are so deep but without being too much overall. Very l pleasing tones throughout, the way you balance the palette is most enjoyable.
I notice you have a Rolie 35, do you have any other interesting cameras?
Thanks!! I’m definitely no photographer, I just like learning about and using old cameras, and the process/magic of shooting film.
Rollei 35 is probably my most interesting camera. I got it so that I could put it in my pocket while downhill skiing and take shots of the mountain/my friends.
I’ve got a Yashica Mat LM that was my dad’s, and his dad’s before him, and that’s been fun to mess around with. I’ve also got a Pentax K1000 that I started shooting film with!
Ha yes me too! I love old cameras and enjoyed shooting film for a few years when I got back into photography.
I have a Nikon F75 and a tiny Yashica. I always wanted a rangefinder but Contax are not in my price range!
A great thing I discovered is that using black and white film really improves your composition. It forces you to see much more in the abstract, which makes for much better images.
I hope you keep posting, there’s something special about film and it’s even better knowing you develop your own.
