Well my scanner came in today. I can't believe how easy it is compared to my previous way of digitizing.


I am getting MUCH better output, very close to how my wet prints look.


Here are a couple quick scans of two shots I took with my new (to me) Zone VI 4x5 camera last weekend while out camping. Both of these shots are nothing special, just a couple of quick snaps while I am learning how to shoot with a large format camera. They look MUCH better large on my screen. Compressing and shrinking them for the web really robs them of their depth.





This one was shot during a drizzle after the sun went behind the mountains. I exposed the film for 8 seconds (I guessed that would be enough) and got this.





Both of these shots were made with a Fujinon W 125mm F5.6 lens. Shot on Foma 200 and developed in Rodinal at 50:1 for 8 minutes.


This scanner is going to open up a new world for me for shooting film. I can't wait to see what I can come up with.

Thank you. I often "crop to compose", and that's what I did with this shot.

@leRolls: very inventive!

What a Huge Flare on the fist photography, I really liked both of them ...

Hi people, I am not really pro in post processing in BW, so I would like to know what do you think can be improve in the next two pictures ... I am using SILKYPIX(R) Developer Studio 3.0.0.5 for PENTAX, and I will apreciate if someone can give some good ideas (or links) about what the Gamma controls in Contrast edition ...



And the second one:

Jorgario, I'm afraid I can't help you with the Silkypix software, since I use Adobe software exclusively (bought CS6 and Lightroom as a student, it's ridiculously cheap then!). However, I really like how you processed those two shots! They're sharp, contrasty (but not overly so) and they have a certain 'tone' to them as you'd get by using color filters with b&w film. Good job!

A nice exercise in B&W and DOF. Looks like a good candidate for the minimalist thread as well. Nice shot!

Something Fun - nice to see it's not sneaker reading at night with a tablet of some sort.

Hard copy?! You must really live in the boonies!

One from yesterday in awful weather, seemed to suit a mono conversion...
