Hi,
I've taken 4 4x5 shots on Velvia 100 of my two children. I went to pick them up today and the results are seriously strange.
I have head and shoulders of two light skinned (European) kids with a mid blue background. My son's shirt is a maroon my daughters hair is auburn. What colours would I expect if the lab stuffed up and processed in C41?
Basically, it looks as though there is a seriously strong magenta colour over everything. The blue background is purple! There are no really noticeable blotches or lines - there does seem to be some sort of ghosting on one of the shots though.
The lab is saying the film was heat stressed?!?!?
There is only one lab left in my city and I have been able to avoid them up to this point. From here I'd need them to be sent in the post. I need to be made to feel a little bit happier as the processing costs a big amount and my wife and I would like some really nice results!
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers,
Steve
