[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Hi Hugh,
Do your negatives look like the scans? Are they overexposed?
If so, I'd experiment with adjusting your Sunny 16 rule now based on your
results.?I would suggest playing with your shutter speed or aperture?rather
than your film speed as that will give you more flexibility to meet varying
conditions. For example, if you want shadow detail with a bright
background,?you might want to underexpose by only 1/2 stop. If you're in
bright conditions and not too worried about the shadows, try under exposing
by a full stop?or even more.
If your negatives look good but the scans don't, that's a different story.
Keep doing what you're doing and find somewhere else to scan. Best case is
to scan yourself, but that may not be possible for you.
And please know that?I never meant to?imply stop shooting or stop posting.
As I said, your images are fascinating; a part of the world I'll never see
except through such images as yours.
Best,
Bob

Philippe, Bob and Mark - yes, I use Sunny 16, most of these would be shot at
f8, or when in shadow f5.6, using 100 FujiColor print film, speed set at 125
- secondly, I have very little control because, the film is processed by a
local lab.? They then do what they call, a "high resolution scan" to a CD
If there are some guidelines any of you can share, I would be very
grateful.? For instance on the box, Fuji recommends Sunny 16 to be set at
250 speed.? What do you think?
Hugh
