Originally posted by wkraus Great photo even with the vignetting. You might even say that it adds interest.
It's also interesting to note two more things:
1. How much better film handles the transition to overexposed areas such as the sky here as compared to digital.
2. How much more grainy the scan looks on Flickr as compared to what the forum makes of it.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, and I agree with both your points. The transition into the overexposed part of the sky would have been awful with a modern digital camera but the old Kodak film handled it beautifully. And it looks grainer at full resolution on my screen too because I think I underexposed the DSLR scan, so that correcting for that in Camera Raw added digital noise. I've definitely learned the lesson that you need to expose as far to the right of the histogram as possible when DSLR scanning negatives.
Over the past few days I've been shooting some expired Fuji Superia 400 that a friend gave me, so DSLR scanning some old film has been great practice for when the negatives come back from the lab.
