2nd Roll of Film

The second roll of film came back yesterday, this time from A&I in California; the scans were better, but still not great -- most of the below required significant levels and contrast adjustments.

Shooting in B&W is difficult - the visualization exercise is much less intuitive since the hue goes away completely and all that's left is value.

Erin won 3rd prize in the 10,000 Reasons photo contest this here. Here she is receiving her award.

Streetlight and sunset in our alley. I would like to get this shot again just a few minutes earlier - the streetlight takes a few minutes to warm up, and when just comes on it has a really interesting glowing look where you can see all the details of the mechanism (e.g.).

First Roll of Film

Got the first roll of film back a couple of days ago.

Can't say I'm happy - these scans are awful, and I paid big bucks for them ($23 for develop & scan). Local camera shop fail. Next time (shortly - only a couple of frames left on the next roll), I'm going mail-order.

That said, I had fun, I'm glad I got my father-in-law's Spotmatic services, I continue to shoot film, and here are a few images.

Some piece of equipment in the hallway at work. I was surprised that this came out interesting - it's one of my favorites on the roll, but I thought immediately afterward that it was a waste of film.

The stripe across the middle is on the negative. I don't know if it was bad developing, or some error in the camera.
