My first analog photos!

Unfortunately, the lab had mistakenly developed my color Portra 160-film as black and white film, so no color photos as of yet :/ That doesn't bode particularly well, since the developer type is written on the side of the roll. You might have to hunt around for another lab. Still, the development seems to have worked out OK as B/W. You can see the photos I picked out he http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonasek...7629930160324/ Nice work! So, these are the photos I liked the most, there were tons of shots that were hopelessly out of focus. Focusing manually with a 1.9 lens is damn hard for a newbie! You get used to it fairly quickly. I prefer manual focus, now. So, after having developed the shots, I noticed when I scanned them that they had TONS of dust on them. I looked at thelens and noticed it had some dust *inside* the lens. But probably not enough for all the dust in the scans. Realized that my scanner was a bit dusty as well, but still, this is an old camera, dust will always be there in some way or another. Easily fixed in Photoshop. Dust is my nemesis, too. You need great care, a clean environment, dust cloths and a blower of some sort. The scanner's ICE mechanism is supposed to be able to edit-out dust on colour film, but it doesn't work on black and white. Best approach is to avoid it as much as possible and then get to work, spotting in post. Cheers, -- Andrew Reilly |

It doesn't work with silver based film (including Kodachrome, which is colour) and it works with non-silver based film (even if it's monochrome). Silver does not let IR pass. -Wolfgang |
