My one year rf project

The "shooting" part is not difficult, it is the "developing, editing and printing" part that counts. If you don´t do that you are missing the point of the project IMO. Producing tons of unedited material ("i will process, print it later" = never) is useless. So everything you post in your blog should be scanned from a print, a neg-scan won´t do.
 
I agree with that. I'm only wet printing these days. I think I need to state my goal, which is to improve my compositions. Of course along the way I hopefully end up with some nice prints. Editing is a difficulty for me; developing and printing are not.
 
Hey Jason good wishes for the project. Only if I could disipline myself more. 2 rolls a week, plus developing & all involved! I still have the same roll of tri-x in the Bessa from the other week we met at the coffee shop.

BTW I put Chris's wireless on the Bessa R, worked quite nice but yet to see the results. I'll get that roll shot soon!

Why is negative scanning bad? How does it hinder composition or visualization?
 
GB that's quite a while for one film. I used to do that when I had too many cameras. That's part of what this project is about for me: limiting my tools and USING them consistently. I've recently picked up a Canon 35mm 1.8 lens for the Bessa R, so my guidelines might be changing shortly. We'll see.

That wasn't really the part I was agreeing with. 🙂 Scanning is fine. I like wet printing, though. I edit more that way. Whatever works for you.
