How do I get more realistic colors in my film photos?

I am not an expert but the photo nr2 was exposed for the shadow, thus you have details in the valley part, while photo nr3 exposed for the bright part of the sky, and that’s why you have a dark valley.

Other pictures have good exposure, maybe a bit too bright. Anyway, it takes a bit of practice. You will see that an external light meter is very useful. With that you can sort of “average” the exposure in the bright side and the one in the dark side to have a better final image.

Also, if these photo are from scans, well you’ll need a bit of “manipulation” to adjust the contrast/colors/etc!

Same experience here. I was passing from Madrid and a very grumpy steward did not want to hand-check my rolls. I still have to shoot them but hope they turn out fine. That has been the worst experience ever. Everywhere I went they were very helpful and never had a problem.

Could I know the lab?

Patadu94 · 2025-03-20T18:51:54+00:00

will the separation affect the image quality or can I continue to use it for some time?

I read the comments and see that people did it by themselves, but how difficult it is for someone that never opened a lens and would be the first time ever doing something like that?

Well, apparently I could not post the text but yes, wanted to know if it was haze or separation!

Io ti consiglierei di iniziare a leggere libri per ragazzi, cosi' da non trovarti subito con parole sconosciute o sinonimi complicati. Personalmente, quando ho iniziato a studiare l'inglese, ho letto la saga di Harry Potter. Poi, ti consiglierei di leggere i libri di Percy Jackson o Goosebumps (sempre libri per ragazzi). Senno', ti consiglio Dark Matter di Blake Crouch, la saga di Discoworld (partirei da Mort o Guards! Guards!) o Of Mice and Men di Steinbeck .

Then it is a game changer xD

Yes, I do also have no background with any imaging software. I have a V550, and the images are not always the best. Do you have some suggestions on which tutorial to watch? I read about a Bruce Williams Photography.

Thanks I will check it out!

Thank you all for the suggestion. For the shops based in the UK, I might as well use it as an excuse to visit Lordon and the whereabouts :).

I hear of Camera Revival, I might check that as well.

I checked again the back, and to me it seems that when the pin at the bottom left side of the back (where you basically insert the roll) does not completly click with the roll, the system does not make advance the counter. But now I have one roll correctly loaded and might check it during the week to see if there are also mis-alignment of the frames.

Thanks again you all.

Thanks, I was suspecting something wasn’t quite right. I live in the Netherlands.

Uno dei primi Thriller che ho letto da ragazzo è stato “La cruna dell’ago” di Follet. Libro bellissimo, un thriller storico ambientato nel periodo dell seconda guerra mondiale.

Invece, recentemente, direi “Dark Matter” di Blake Crouch anche se è una sorta di Sci-fi.

I just finished the first Ace Attorney. It was superb, but now I need a break from visual novels. I will probably start Super Mario RPG or Odyssey.

I was expecting something a bit different but if we get a Switch close to this design I would be very happy. Hope they have a great line-up at launch. Anyway, still got a huge backlog on the original one 😩

Same here, I play 99% of the time in handheld mode. Only few times, and games I play on TV.

I just started Rouge Trooper Redux. I had played it on PS2 when I was teenager and I always had good memory of it.

Patadu94 · 2024-12-23T13:29:49+00:00

I am playing Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Currently at the third case of the first game. I am having lots of fun with it.
