 |  |  | I don't need critiques so much as advice: First roll of film!
< on 4/18/2007 5:27 PM >
|  | | | So, this is the "best" of my first roll of film ever. I think they're good-ish. I'm more interested in advice than critiques here, if you please. THANKS!

| | | | What kind of film are you using? Maybe you want to try something like Fujichrome 64T Type II Professional or Kodak Ektachrome 64T.
Que pasa, baby? |

Or whatever you're using + blue filter. All of these are very yellow, except for the two that are green, you'll want a magenta filter for green streetlights. Some are not quite sharp, and a couple have the sort of grain that is usually caused by underexposure.
What's your setup? It's hard to hand over advice without knowing what camera, lens, tripod, other equipment, etc. you're using. Most of the problems here may be caused by bad 1-hour processing/printing/scanning, are you scanning these yourself? If so, scanning prints or negs? Trying to fix things with photoshop or leaving as is? More details will help.
By the way, I like the bike with the rocket-riding chalk t-rex.
yep. |

| | | | I just got one of those blue filters for $5. They are great, just make sure you get the lightest one, as there are three grades.
That said they still seem abnormally yellow, what film did you use?

Depends what you're shooting. In an indoor tungsten situation like, say, a shopping mall, the lightest grade would be fine. In large spaces lit by small, dim bulbs, like a factory with a single bulb lit up every 50 feet or so, the darkest blue filters will still leave a bit of a yellow cast on slide film.

Tungsten film is always better than adding extra glass, but with exposure issues and with a film beginner, I'd say avoiding slide would be the less frustrating choice.
yep. |

Yeah, I have some Conkin filters I haven't ever used yet, I think I'll break them out

My camera is a Pentax, seen here:
http://www.uer.ca/...rrpage=1&pp#post11
Tripod is a budget Promax, but I like it OK. It wasn't a 1 hour processing, I got it developed at the local camera shop. I trust them, so it's not their bad, it's mine. And I just had them put on a disk, so no scanning. I did a bit of touch up in iPhoto.
And thanks, I feel like a proud daddy about my bike.
----------------------------------
So, I'm going to use a slower speed film on my next shoot with this camera, and practice in drains. I don't think I'll get into filters until next time I shoot above ground. Thanks all.
