Pentax 67 Gas!

I feel drawn into those Edinburgh shots you made Snowbuzz. Did you use any filter or is this simply the way SFX renders tones?

 

[Snowbuzz]

Yup, used a #25 red filter. Film rated at 50.

bojanfurst: Lovely image! One can find fishing villages here in Norway that have a striking similarity, both with regards to architecture and topography.

I recently had a a few drum scans made from some of my Pentax 6x7 negatives and thought someone here might be interested in seeing this. I had 4000 dpi scans done which resulted in files right around 560MB each. This is a Kodak Portra 160 negative.

These are unaltered scans. All that was done to the lab scan was a slight white balance so it could be compared more easily.
Here is a Noritsu Lab scan:

4000dpi Drum scan:

Drum Scan Detail. This is 50% at 300dpi scaled down to 30% to size for web.

The scan was performed as a "flat scan" as to get the maximum amount of detail and exposure possible out of the neg. Pretty amazing film. Note the shadows under the rocks in the foreground, the greater separation of mids and highs in the peaks to the middle and of course the texture that was brought out in the clouds.

Thank you Bjørn. There are quite a few similarities between Norway and Newfoundland. There is actually a very good relationship between the university here and University of Tromsø.

All the best

I apologize in advance for being off topic. Looking at MtM's second last post I have realized that these scans suffer from a similar steep blackpoint falloff as mine tend to do. I am wondering whether the cause of this problem is the scanner's inability to resolve any values in the negative in these places, or there not being any detail in the first place (underexposure? incorrect development?).

Has anyone encountered this problem and managed to work around it? For example, the very next post has nice and smooth transitions to black, that I haven't been able to reproduce so far 🙁

More exposure and possibly less development is probably a good place to start.

Corran is right. I overdeveloped this roll by around a minute as follows:

Acros 100 @100
HC-110 Dilution H Time: 10 minutes

I had better results developing Acros @50 with 8 minutes developing time. My bad!

You are right Corran. I overdeveloped it by a minute.

Nice shots by the way, especially the color work, MtM.

Velvia 50 is almost 3D.

Great stuff!
