Thanks! I had to re-learn how to scan film for this challenge. I had processed (adjusted the curves) the scans in Photoshop, but I just tried Lightroom for the first time with some of the same scans. Compared to Photoshop, Lightroom was much faster, more intuitive, and I got significantly

I developed my film from NAHBS last night, and scanned them tonight. I should have pushed the film, or brought 3200 instead of 400. There just wasn't a lot of light in the show. Album of NAHBS pictures in glorious black and white, from analog film: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmwJMQn1 I was using a

Eric, I had thought you were talking about editing hard, but I see you mean PRE-editing, and only shooting one roll. My acquaintance @cinedar uses the hashtag #thinkmoreshootless. He shoots 4x5 film, but he does have multi-sheet holders. And big lights and reflectors sometimes. You make a

The CineStill color processing kit is very simple to use. For black and white, I either use Diafine with Tri-X shot at 1000 speed, or I use Rodinal for everything else. https://davidshootsfilm.com/2013/11/14/developing-with-diafine/ On Thu, Feb 21, 2019 at 3:58 PM 'Eric Norris' via RBW Owners

Phil: Here’s an idea. How about giving everyone a limit—24 or 36 frames. Shoot just that and post your best pics. I enjoy the discipline of shooting film, since it requires that you think much more carefully about what you take. Eric “Film’s Not Dead” Norris > On Feb 21, 2019, at 11:32 AM,

I’ve just started processing at home, so it’s just BW right now. Mattias Burling posted an informative video about processing color using a particular set of chemicals that he says is much easier for the do-it-yourselfer. Once I get proficient with BW I’ll give it a try. —Eric > On Feb 21,
