Any of you guys who claim to shoot film but don't develop it need to start. It is so fun and gratifying. Plus it's the one of the main things that sets film apart from digital. Digital photographers don't need to develop.

while i understand your original point, i am going to offer that the majority of photoshop's original tools/functions are a direct translation from darkroom techniques. you don't get the satisfaction of avoiding developer bubbles or keeping dust from getting everywhere, but don't confuse the processes of digital toning and digital manipulation. the first (toning) could be described as "digital developing" and isn't done as often as is needed.

Shot with a Hasselblad 500 C/W. My first roll of velvia 100. just got it developed. A lot of under exposed stuff including the portrait. Other than that really stoked on how it looks.

The portrait looks over exposed to me. You should be under exposing slide film by half a stop anyway to make sure your highlights don't go clear.

You're definitely much better off with a spot meter when you shoot outdoors. Pick your zone VIII and then expose for that, since you can't really push or pull color slide film.

velvia 50 is one of the hardest films to expose. you want to be dead on or 1/3 stop under. there is really no latitude.

that being said, when outside and sunny, subscribe to sunny 16 rule. otherwise become a human light meter (i had a professor in college who could walk into a room and give an accurate exposure 95% of the time, we tested him) or invest in a light meter.

^thanks you guys. Yea i'd love to learn how to become a human light meter but for the time i need to pick one up.

and it's 100 but i'm guessing there isn't much of a difference. is there? i know about the Zone system but never heard about sunny rule 16. what is that?

thanks guys

sunny 16 applies only to sunny clear days.

it is uber simple; 1/iso @ f16.

so if you are shooting 120 speed film, you shoot 1/125 @ f16 (or equivalent). I find myself shooting from the hip with my yashica 1/500 @ f8 and velvia 100 with outdoor stuff a lot. Try to get as close as possible with the shutter speed to iso (or underexpose if your camera doesn't allow, i.e. 200 -> 250).

Whoever is talking about slide film, you should definitely expose it normally. It reproduces highlights better than print films so you might as well use it. Plus it has much less exposure latitude, so you want to get it correct as possible.
For instance, this had really bright highlights cause thats what it looked like in real life. This was provia

this was velvia

and my favorite; E100VS

slide film kicks ass. but it's hard to find cheap processing. so i use ektar unless I really want to use slide.

You can get Canon 50mm 1.4 Fd lenses for much cheaper. Look on keh, at garage sales and such. Even the camera store near me has a canon one for around 70 dollars. Fd system rocks though. I used to use an AL-1 but I upgraded to a t90 a while ago. It;s the 1v/1n of the fd cameras. You can get good fd lenses for dirt cheap though, no need to buy 3rd party glass either.

Too bad they won't do slide film in a day anymore. Stoked to see my shots.

I decided to throw a film back on my hasselblad and decided to prove to people that you don't need to edit the shit out of your shots before presenting them to a client. These are straight out of the camera and I would be comfortable presenting any of them to a client. SHITTY part is that the lab put a nice fog line through all of the shots as you will see. These were shot on a 501 cm with either a 40, 50, 80 or 150 lens. The film is fuji 400pro h. Straight outta the camera and scanned.

If you're scanning it yourself quite a bit of color balancing and stuff like that is usually required. Usually when I scan superia 400 it has too much red, ektar is rather blue, portra usually looks good and anything slide is always good. I have a canoscan 8800f, but I bet a proper film scanner would do much much better.

Some older stuff, just ordered quite a few rolls of 35mm film (BW400CN, Portra 800 and Superia 1600) so I'll probably have more stuff to show quite soon.

Superia 1600, pushed one stop.

Ilford Delta 100, which I'd had a perspective control lens for this one.

Another Delta 100

Ilford HP5+

I've got way too many film cameras, dad used to be a photographer.
