The available light highlighting the leaves and droplets of water creates the illusion of a halo standing out against the darkened deep woods.

this is dangerously pretty

do you process and scan your own film?


Comments by JP Zorn on Wed, 11/23/16 16:24

Thanks Jan and Paul. I don't process my film. The 35mm stuff I send
to a lab to develope and scan. The 120 film I have processed at a one
hour lab and then scan on my desktop scanner.

Is there much post-scan post production? I have a few negatives from a
4x5 camera that I borrowed for a while - I still have it but I need to get
it back to it's owner. It was fun to shoot with, but oh so much more
complicated - well, at least more time consuming. Focus was such a huge
issue with it, and tough to do on the ground glass. Had to use a
jeweler's loop. Still, it looks like I've got some good negatives but I
haven't had them scanned yet. Debating buying a scanner and doing it
myself. Seems like you'd have a lot to work with, especially with the
larger negatives.
And you do seem to have both fun and success with 'em.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to you! There is very little post-scan work
from me. I clean up dust spots when necessary but it doesn't
amount to much. I'm sure 120 film has less of these issues than
4X5 sheet. I do like big negatives (though I'm surprised how much
detail is captured on 35mm - now that I'm using that film). I was
using a TLR for a while but couldn't get used to the invert image.
I still would like to try a 6X7 Fujifilm rangefinder (or 6X8). You
get some of the same things that you get with a 4X5, but it's
cheaper and easier to physically take pictures with. But a 4x5
camera would be great. You could buy a scanner (are you thinking
desktop?). It just depends on how much you would use it.

P.S. I posted a link today to a photographer on the page I
mentioned before. Her name is Victoria Sambunaris and she uses a
5X7 wooden field camera.
