Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Well, the bottom one looks great to me. The top one would be a problem no matter what kind of film you used. Too much light coming in through the window vs. the amount of light on the shadow side. The lighting ratio is too extreme. Did you use a reflector? If you can find a copy of Mortenson's book on portrait lighting and exposure, I think it would help you a great deal. You certainly need no help on posing a model. These two are great. I don't know what the problem is with the middle one, unless it is under exposed.

so to be sure, this film is single side coated which is why it looks so damn nice compared to other X-ray films which are coated both sides right ?
No, that's not the only reason it looks nice. It is also backed (anti-halation backing), which stops the flaring one gets with double side x-ray film. Ektascan is the finest orthochromatic film available today, other that Ilford's Ortho-Plus, which is only available in 4X5, and a lot more expensive.

premortho, thank you for your notes
Re: X-ray Film example and comparison.
thanks Premortho, yup, anti-halation backing is definitely a plus for sharper images. Shooting ortho would be something new, but for the right subjects....

Re: Images shot on X-ray film

my wife will be glad to know:)
Re: Images shot on X-ray film
does anyone know why scratches on the negative?
i am pretty accurate by working with, but at the end i always see 2-3-more scratches :(
i use kodak blue
is kodak/retina green or another one better?
many thx!
Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Most x-ray film is double-sided (emulsion on both sides), so both sides needs to be handled with twice the care of single-sided film. If you are developing in trays, try putting a piece of glass on the bottom of the tray to prevent scratches. Work out a development method that minimizes how often a side of the film touches anything until it is dry.
Some folks have found that film hangers are a nice way to go, depending on size.
Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Vaughn, thanks a lot!
a piece of glass - its so easy! :) i will try to develope with next time
Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Trouble is, you should have a piece of glass with each tray...and of course, not breaking them, too! Good Luck!
