Im not too happy with the color films Ive tried so far tho

I do probably 1 roll of B&W for every 6 in color. I like Friedlander a lot and get inspired, but then what if I'm walking around and see this:

and have B&W loaded in my camera? Disaster!

I develop B&W myself so it saves money - after the initial investment in equipment it comes out to like, 5-10 cents worth of chemicals per roll

Ah there's that. I've never set foot in a darkroom myself. My main concern is getting good scans from my lab (the resolution is great, but sometimes the contrast is too high; we're working on that).

you don't need a darkroom to develop

re: B&W vs shooting color - one reason is that color negs will (most likely) start to fade in a couple of decades, B&W negatives are about as archival as archival gets. Less relevant in the days of digital, when our grandkids are going to find an old external drive in our shit and not have any knowledge of what it is, no way to hook it up to their holographic computers and most likely no way to read the files anyway. But maybe that's a good reason to keep a camera loaded with Tri-X as well.

Every B&W films has a specific look to it (the grain structure, the way they respond to different wavelengths of light, etc.) that isn't really obtainable by converting color (neg, slide or digital) in post.

DAYO HAVE YOU SEEN THAT KODACHROME YET

yeah I cut and sleeved it but I didn't get a chance to scan it yet

would like to get a dedicated 35mm scanner for kodachrome since it's hard to scan. but dunno when that will be!

the exposures look okay just from eyeballing it - I was p worried and bracketed, but I think I'll get some usable shots

did you even consider paying dwayne's to scan them? even if they're shitty scans, you'd have something, and can get the good ones scanned later

I had dwayne's scan one roll as a 'test' and my home scanner (epson v500) did a better job!

they were also really curly from being in a tube for 6 months so they're flattening under a box atm

My last roll of Kodachrome was a total dud. Too much pressure!
I'll be curious to know what kind of success you have with scanning your rolls. My lab scans from Dwayne's were baaaad, and my home scans are were little difficult, as it turns out. But as I said, it wasn't a great roll so I'm not too concerned! Using a Plustek, btw. Which I love, but I think it's maybe just a little harder to scan Kodachrome.

I finally scanned all my kodachrome -_-

how'd you scan it? my slide scanning attempts are generally pitiful.

new years resolution: EDIT THAT KODACHROME DAYO

just want to say i'm following your screencaps thread but i'm reluctant to say anything because it'll break up the flow.

thread should be read only imo

haha thanks! btw some stylesheets automatically resize images but the originals should all be either 720 or 1080p, view in separate tab etc, set as background, do whatever

link?

its in this forum

my thread of screencaps

i watched kore-eda's nobody knows a couple of weeks ago & wrote down the screentimes of all of these close ups he shot of usually mouths and hands, the kids in the films, it's so beautifully photographed, i wish i could muscle in on the thread, but unfortunately nobody knows is gone, now, & i didn't get around to it. i like seeing those stray images from movies though, like playing along at home

maybe I should make a tumblr with these though I bet there are a million of em already

the visigoths swarmed through the wreckage of ilm, nothing was left but the neil young vs god, neil young vs rap music and guns vs music polls, all because nobody listened to dayo's prophetic words about nostormo

Wishing I still had the motivation to continue my thread of screencaps ; (

Might never do anything with those Kodachromes I shot. Not until I get a better scanner at least

Love that screencap thread, thanks for the link.

apologies for putting this here but . . .

are those earpods or something else?

i'm not kidding, either. she's using an iphone, so it would make sense, but i'm not sure about the placement of the remote, and i guess they could be those more expensive things

Could be just the stock iPhone earbuds

I don't think the remote placement varies between the models

Looks like the stock ones that came with my iPhone 5, if that helps.

DAYO HAVE YOU GOT THAT EARBUDSiPHONE YET

thanking you.
