To All You Film Shooters

[blumesan]

We are certainly in the minority, but I know that there are still some of you out there on the Camel. Since we rarely, if ever, see images posted in this forum I assume that when you have photos to post you go to the appropriate Photography by Genre forum. That is as it should be. But when you post a image do you include the information that the image was captured on film?

I have a suggestion: When you post an image captured on film, insert a new thread in THIS forum, referencing the forum and thread title where the image can be found. If you know how, you can also include a link to the image. Also, either here or with the image, please include information on camera, lens, film type and how it was scanned.

I have a hunch that there are more than a few images floating around on the Camel which noone realizes were taken with a film camera. Let's toot our horn.

100% in agreement...will take teh Fs (4 and 5) out this weekend and post some.

I should have been posting here. All I shoot is film. I do how ever make it a point to state that the shots were film.

This is a shot of a kitty I had some 30 years ago, her name was Pepper. This was scaned from a very old print on a HP photosmart C4180 all in one. I have the slide and it still looks pretty good. Shot on a Canon AE1 with a 50mm f1.8 hand held with a sunpak flash. Kodacrome asa 25 (or was it 64?) color slide film.

From my recent vacation on the Caribbean Coast of Colombia, shot with my 1966 Canon FTQL, Kodak 100 with a Canon 50mm F1.8. On the first image you will see a faint line running horizontally across top of the image. This line is not on the film, it must have been a fault in the scanner?

It appears that there is a faint line running vertically in the second pic. Looks to be in the same spot in relation to the first pic. Could be the scanner, but certainly looks like a scratch in the film.

I had that on an old minolta once and it was the film-path that was damaged causing the scratching on the film. So watch that carefully as it will ruin the films.

*Edit. Just saw you mentioned it was in the scanner. nevermind

The film is clean but just as a precaution I checked and cleaned the camera....no sign of a burr or any other appurtenance so has to be the scanner.

My scaner does that all the time.... But not on every pic. If I rescan it, it most likely would be fine...Nice shots you have there.

I just now noticed this thread and I think it's great. I use probably 98.9 % film and believe I always will. This was taken my Yashica GSN and Kodak bw400cn film. The GSN has a fixed 45mm f1.7 lens. The other photos in my gallery were taken with my Nikon F4s and a Nikkor 50mm MF lens.
All negs were scanned with an Epson Perfection V200. I hope to see more film users posting to this thread because I know that there are more of us out there than everyone believes.

@MDa Re
Welcome to the Camel! Always glad to have more input from film shooters. The shot you posted looks like it could use a little boost in contrast. Do you use any post=processing program?

Cheers/Mike

[MDa Re]

Blumesan, Thanks for the welcome. I usually just adjust the levels with Gimp. I've never really messed with the contrast. I guess I should start.

[blumesan]

Sorry I'm not familiar with Gimp. Have heard of it, but no experience.

I have taken the liberty of making a quick adjustment of your image using Photoshop, curves and a bit of sharpening. If you object to my messing with your image just let me know and I will remove it.

Cheers/Mike

Hi, glad you started this thread. Wanted to add my film shots.

Captured with Nikon F4 or F5 and scanned with Epson 3170.

I don't mind people bettering my photos at all. Gimp is the PS equivalent for Linux. It does most of the same stuff. Interface a little strange to get used to though.
