Escribano -> My first hand processed colour photo - yeah! (Jan. 26 2011 20:25:37)
I developed my first colour film tonight (C41 Tetenal Press Kit) and I am well pleased with the results. A bit of a fuss to get the chemicals mixed and to the right approximate temperature. Post processing the scanned negs in Photoshop is more important and much more necessary than with black and white. This type of Press Kit was used before digital photography by journalists in the field, who would develop their negatives in their hotel bathroom and send the images back over the wire, via some kind of scanner modem, I guess. These are test shots - nothing fancy, but this is a big deal for me, like nailing your first falsetas in compás. Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px

Looks extremely sharp there Simon. Most impressive! So you set up a darkroom in your own house? TK

how are those chemicals for your nails? [;)] looks great simon!

Kodachrome is done, the chemical developing process is kaputt although the film may still be out there. Everybody is going digital. Glad there are some hanging on... but why? that is an interesting question...

quote: Everybody is going digital. Glad there are some hanging on... but why? that is an interesting question... There is renewed interest in film and sales of film and chemicals are stable, if not growing. The pros I have met use digital for their business and film for their art. I do it mainly for the LOLs, but here are my arguments put to the Royal Photographic Society, a couple of whom are trying film again since I started the discussion with them. 1. I get a full-frame small 35mm camera with super glass for £30 - film SLRs have much bigger, brighter viewfinders than digital SLRs 2. I can now go buy that film Leica (M6, M5 or CL), rather than the digital M8 or new M9 (which I cannot afford anyway). 3. My medium formats give me 50MP of resolution and I definitely cannot afford a MF digital camera. 4. I prefer the look, latitude and dynamic range of film - especially for monochrome. 5. I find the whole process relaxing and more rewarding. 6. I am learning more about photography as there are less options between me and the image - working in full manual wherever possible. quote: Luckily the colour negative film sales have been very stable over the past year. Black-and-white is also doing extremely well. It almost feels that there is a very real resurgence for film. A lot of people that were completely digital are now accepting film again for certain things – or they do like the workflow. And the most exciting thing is to see the younger people adopt film. It’s almost a generational thing. They have not shot film growing up, but once they do get a hold of film in a university, they just seem to fall in love with it. And that’s exciting. It just seems to have a lot of influence. - Scott DiSabato, US marketing manager at Kodak, Sept. 2010.

quote: So you set up a darkroom in your own house? Hi Todd. Just a changing bag and a washing up bowl in the kitchen, so no darkroom as such. I scan the negatives when dry and it goes digital. It is a hybrid workflow. The sharpness comes from the cracking lenses on certain old cameras which I research and then collect for this purpose - costing around $50-$150.

quote: Forgive me this dumb question but what's the difficulty of this process? Same as black and white but with a tighter control of temperature (30C). Otherwise it is the same. Developer, stop bath, fixer, wash/stablise and dry. It's easier than I had thought.

Outstanding! I am proud, jealous, and inspired. Way to go, Simon! Speaking of gear, I just bought the 85mm f1.4 manual focus Zeiss for my Nikon. Camera lenses are the only jewelry I wear. Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px

Wide open. Have not even shot with it yet. Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px
