What Have You Learned ?

[marcr1230]

Here's what I've learned or relearned in the last couple weeks while working through my film backlog

Thoroughly dry film - up to 36 hours hanging in my basement

Pre-open negative sleeves - that and very dry negs prevent micro scratches

Neopan - nice film , thin film base, hard to get in the sleeves

Tri-X - just about perfect - accepts a lot of mistakes in exposure

Hewes reels - worth their weight in gold.

Batch modes in scanning - time saver

Dust - the enemy of all that is

Get Close - I need to get closer in my people pics

Leica MP + 35mm - sa-weet

OM4T+85mm - super sa-weet

Nikon SP - love it

Murphy - the only shots you miss or ruin processing, will be the best ones

Good lessons, nice images.

I envy you. You know how many hours I would have to drive (or fly) to find a scene like this? :bang:

Will, the captions are on top, I actually had to travel quite a bit for the photo you liked.
That one was taken in Paris , or as we say in the Midwest, "Paris, France"
