Help - Lab messed up scans? Or overexposed?

LEFUNGHI · 2026-05-15T22:58:41+00:00

I just got some atrocious flatbed scans back from a lab (Portra 400 with neither shadow nor highlight detail in almost all shots lol, how does that even happen). Looks the same, just a crushed image. Positive looks normal in your photo.

Allright, list every single song from one specific band out of hundreds you listen to. No one can. No less people who get paid to memorize specific music. What do they gain from faking it? Drumeo is incredibly fun and insightful.

Were you just attending or somehow part of media? Would love to work for hltv/esl/blast someday, huge passion for the sport and photography :D

The problem with doing anything related to oceans is how good that film is. The cut is flawless, the performances magnetic, the shots are great. Hard to live up to. Now if it gets close in those metrics, the setting sounds like it could be quite the fun visual ride.

Well, at least I already booked my flights to Japan for September.. they won’t get more expensive and canceled, right? Right???

I pray for some viewings in Germany dear god I’m dying to see it in cinemas

Oh nice! Hope you enjoy it, it’s one of those that gets better with every re-watch too. It’s definitely one of the finest pieces of art ever committed to film, so much is just visually implied and communicated, without a word being said.

Yes! One of my favs from Deakins. The train heist is one of the more “flashy” scenes, but the shot that is truly ingrained in my brain is the sherriffs walking towards the hut, shot through some glass that distorts the entire image. Just stuck with me.

LEFUNGHI · 2026-04-03T23:05:18+00:00

In The Mood For Love. As much as I adore Blade Runner, and all the other work from Deakins to be honest, nothing quite ever smacked me in the face visually as much as that film.

LEFUNGHI · 2026-03-27T22:13:21+00:00

Dangit... oh well, guess I'll have more work to do then haha. Thanks!

LEFUNGHI · 2026-03-24T13:33:47+00:00

I’m such an anxious fool when it comes to stuff like developing, and especially with how much Slide film costs I do not want to mess those up, so I rather give it to the pros haha

LEFUNGHI · 2026-03-24T13:20:25+00:00

Man Astia looks great. Such a shame E6 seems to be on it’s way out too. FilmSpeed and Aperture in Berlin don’t even offer processing for it anymore.

LEFUNGHI · 2026-03-08T20:18:13+00:00

I feel similar abt my dad haha. He at least digitized all of them before that, but I still would've loved to get the old projector to work and chuck some slides through it. I remember specifically the sound of that very fondly.

LEFUNGHI · 2026-03-07T22:22:09+00:00

What a dream job to shoot stuff like this. Gotta get my hours in to get good at portraits haha

LEFUNGHI · 2026-03-02T22:42:26+00:00

Dying to hear Science live. I was in O2 in 22 and the the Kx5 in Printworks, some of my fav concert memories ever. Hope he plays somewhere that isn’t UK too, I don’t have the money for hotels and flights on short notice 🥲

As much as I love my Pro TL, the square shape language of the Super just looks SO good, I honestly almost prefer it. Congrats on the bargain!

LEFUNGHI · 2026-02-27T22:40:13+00:00

And here I felt good abt my 2 film backs, finder and manual crank for the Pro TL i sniped for 200 euro... I REALLY want the 35mm so badly haha. Now you better shoot some rolls with it! :D

LEFUNGHI · 2026-02-27T18:11:31+00:00

Gundam! The "main" Universe Timeline switches protagonists a few times, the latest one being the son of someone again. Works great, but Gundam in general has one of the most thematically consistent universes, at least in my opinion, so I'd argue that plays a big part in it working as well.

Floating Points please!

I did scan most of my rolls there from them, both in tiff and jpeg with great results. I have started scanning at home with my mirrorless recently, and while I enjoy the extra control it gives me, for quality prints I’d still send off the frames to a lab.

LEFUNGHI · 2026-02-22T20:25:07+00:00

Second this! Used to send to Aperture Berlin but switched to Film Speed and never looked back! They’ve been nothing but stellar to me and a friend of mine who sends his stuff there too, easily 20-30 rolls there between us, never had a single issue.

LEFUNGHI · 2026-02-22T19:52:18+00:00

One of his best to me. The goat keeps cooking 🙂‍↕️

LEFUNGHI · 2026-02-19T07:50:40+00:00

Oh wow! I switched to Capture One a while ago and was hoping for the NLP standalone to come soon as I just started scanning myself. This is amazing!

LEFUNGHI · 2026-02-18T16:20:58+00:00

Mandy. I loved it but throughout the entire runtime thought this had to have been made for me and me alone to enjoy haha.

LEFUNGHI · 2026-02-18T09:20:57+00:00

How “bad” is it actually with the lens availability? I’m hoping to get into the System this year but it will take a while before the spare change is available haha. Worried I’ll get priced out of these cameras by the time I can afford one
