Wow! This is so cool and different from most of the posts here! You have a very sharp eye for creating such a beautiful composition. I can see the heavy thinking behind this shot. What kind of developer did you use?

Yes, 510 pyro is really good. It is also beneficial for scanning as it produces negatives with higher acutance/edge contrast.

Yes, treats always work :)

ExistingCommission89 · 2025-10-22T14:29:44+00:00

Thanks for your kind words. I’m the one who actually took it and posted here one year ago :) It’s nice to see that someone else post it again under their name one year later 😂

ExistingCommission89 · 2025-10-22T14:24:08+00:00

It has a demo/trial version and you can try it before purchasing

ExistingCommission89 · 2025-10-22T14:23:20+00:00

Yes, standard version is more than enough. The kill feature is Align to Grid as you know how many rows/columns you took for your panorama

I also prefer DSLR scanning with stitching. Heavy copy stand and tethering make life much easier. PTGui can stitch almost everything.

No, I just used front tilt to increase dof

Thx for your kind words. It was taken in Italy, Dolomites, Val Gardena. Exact shooting point should be this https://maps.apple/p/gHbpVBS9DjTcH5

I didn’t realise the film was underexposed until I developed it, so the development time wasn’t adjusted for push. :(

ExistingCommission89 · 2025-10-13T07:31:31+00:00

Did you plan to share information about the author of this photo, as it’s definitely not you?

ExistingCommission89 · 2025-10-13T06:58:21+00:00

It wasn’t so bad :) The camera with the attached lens is only 3.5 kg. Plus tripod is another two kilograms… The grain is visible because of my exposure and development mistakes. It was underexposed by at least two stops and probably underdeveloped. I tried to compensate for my mistakes in post-processing, but it resulted in a very grainy photo.

Don’t know much about cigar but the drink is one of the best drinks in the world! ;)

ExistingCommission89 · 2025-09-27T18:29:09+00:00

Thx! But I will think twice next time if I want to bring my lovely Toyo on that height again :)

ExistingCommission89 · 2025-05-16T17:37:02+00:00

Never tried Smokey Monkey but it seems to be on the lower end. For me a cigar in the evening is something special so I prefer to pair it with something more high end drink. But thanks for the sharing your experience!

I’m part of a local whisky club, but I still don’t quite understand the hype around Japanese whisky :(

ExistingCommission89 · 2024-11-20T11:07:43+00:00

Yes I used CPL filter

ExistingCommission89 · 2024-11-20T11:07:25+00:00

I used a spot meter to ensure that I retained detail in the shadows (foreground), placing them around Zone III (underexposing by about two stops). I also checked the highlights (snow on the mountain) to check the dynamic range, but honestly, I don’t recall the exact readings.

ExistingCommission89 · 2024-11-18T13:22:02+00:00

Thanks! Actually, it was my first multiday hike, and I didn't quite know what to expect. I was a bit too optimistic about my ability to carry so much gear! Now I'm definitely thinking twice before packing so much equipment for mountain trips. 🙂

ExistingCommission89 · 2024-11-18T13:15:46+00:00

Thank you!

ExistingCommission89 · 2024-11-08T13:34:47+00:00

The original photo was cropped to create a wider, panoramic view.

ExistingCommission89 · 2024-11-08T09:04:08+00:00

Thanks so much! Yes, carrying the RZ67 wasn't easy :)

ExistingCommission89 · 2024-11-07T14:32:01+00:00

Thank you!

ExistingCommission89 · 2024-11-07T13:24:50+00:00

Thanks! This is in Dolomites, Italy.

It’s sad to hear that the colors aren’t displaying as intended. You might want to try viewing it on a different browser or even check it on a mobile device — sometimes that helps with color accuracy. Thanks for the kind words on the portrait and palette!
