8x10 Ektar Still Life project.

[MarcinAnton]

Hi!
I have recently finished my still life project. 10 shots on 8x10 camera and lot of money gone. These are my last images taken on a color film. The lens was Tessar 360mm, Carl Zeiss Jena. Soon, I will present my handcolored images taken on Rollei Ortho, just for comparison. Scanned on Scanmate 5000 drum scanner, about 500-600Mb files. These are really high resolution images!

As I promised, I am showing my handcolored images. 8x10 Color costs a fortune, developing is a risky. Thank you Kodak, thank you Fuji!

I like your hand colored one and rollei the best. Those look great. Not sure what the difference in lighting is but those look excellent to me.

[Ken Lee]

I too like your hand-painted version best.

By being less realistic, it has more feeling.

[Eric Rose]

All I can say is WOW! Your hand coloured prints are beautiful.

[Peter Mounier]

Really great stuff! Love the labels on the bottles too.

[Nguss]

All lovely but for me the Rollei Ortho one is stand out superb.

[Mark Sawyer]

I cast my vote for the hand colored image as well. I presume the print was not as warm-toned as the uncolored version immediately above it?

[Jim Noel]

Is it "hand colored", or is it "colorized" in the computer?
There is a tremendous difference between the two processes.

[EdSawyer]

clearly colorized, as he mentions a wacom tablet, I think.

[MarcinAnton]

Yes, to be precise, colorized in Computer. It takes a lot of time, because you have to paint every detail separetely. Someone may think that it is enough to press "Auto Color" in Photoshop, no, no, no it is not so easy. I've been using similar techniques working with darkroom stuff as well. I posted it few months ago as "Large Format Photography & Mixed Media Techniques" in the Image Sharing section. I am grateful indeed for watching the images and your comments. Thank you!
