Luv it Peter!

No. I really have a dislike for social media.
I was on Facebook with over 2k friends a couple of years ago. Dumped it.
Came back on FB after my cousins cried they wanted me back in their daily...

Just lovely!!

Back in 2016-2017 I was asked by a popular photography blog site if I could give Affinity a test drive and do a write up for the site. I was a full time commercial photography instructor at a local...

I have always said a camera is a tool for communication and it should not get in the way. Can I make the same photo with my Linhof 3000 as with my Canon AE-1? No. It would be different due to all the...

Thank you everyone for your kind comments.
Tuco you and your kitty are in my thoughts and prayers.

Really! Now I know why they want to get out of the house!!
Hope you and yours are doing well through this trying time.

Kind regards,

I have been with PS since it ran as a black & white program on my little Mac back in the mid 80s. I have tried other programs, some mentioned in this thread. For me, there is nothing that compares to...

X-Pro3 + 50-230/6.3





Looking down at me from an outside wall of my home.

I make contact sheets with a digital camera and a light source.

Before I developed a more specific technique using a copy stand, I would create a white sheet in my graphics program (or maybe use...

Focus 1/3 to halfway in, tilt if it helps, and shoot stopped down with fingers crossed.
Me, I’d focus stack with my medium format digital tech gear and be done with it.

I get this is a learning...

Thank you so much Philip!

Hasselblad 500C + 80/2.8C + unknown slide film

I have a little memo book I note the date, location, camera, and film number or roll number and any special notes if necessary. That’s it. I transfer some of the info onto the Print File page and...

Hi Les,

Thank you for your kind comment. I too stitch my film, mainly the 6x12, 6x17 and 4x5 films. Your setup need not be elaborate. I feel the copy stand and light source are probably the most...

Hi CB,

It is not a Flickr group but a Facebook group. Do a search in Facebook for: "Digitizing film with a digital camera"

Hi Peter!

Thank you for the suggestion of anti-Newton glass (ANG). I did use ANG many years ago and was unhappy with the results for some reason, but I am going to try it again for my 6x17 film....

Thank you Ben!

Not with 4x5 lately, but have had issues with 6x17 film. My 4x5 film sits in Print File pages in binders for a couple of weeks or more until I digitize it. I started doing this to make sure it...

I just published an article about the tools I use to digitize my film. I shoot medium format, 6x17 and 4x5" film. I do not shoot 135 film much anymore (maybe one roll every two years), but I am...

You are overthinking this. Measure of light calculations are based on the value of luminous on the subject measured. If you are measuring for a vase of flowers sitting inside a window frame in a...

I purchased my 2018 Ford TC new and then had it professionally converted into a...

I try to stay versed in both worlds.
For a lot of my art projects, I shoot film.
For macro and product work, I shoot digital.
They are all tools to me.

Enjoy the process!

We still have a few in north Florida. I grew up for a time in Topanga, CA and remember going to a roadside stand in the canyon as well as travelling to Oxnard with my parents for farm produce. It was...

CB,

I digitize my negatives using three bracketed exposures, +2, 0, -2, and I work from there.
With a lot of negatives the "0" or normal exposure does well, with others I may need to do a blend...

I no longer scan my film with a scanner, but do digitize it with either a Hasselblad CFV-50c digital back or a Fuji X-Pro3. I changed from scanning bc I find the quality I can achieve through...

Thank you Les!
You are so kind to say.

Kind regards,
Darr

Thanks tuco. Lots of Live Oak with Spanish moss where I live in north Florida.
I have not used Rollei 80S or RPX 25, and thank you for the heads-up about the curling.
I wonder if the combination...
