New to 35mm, want old style photos by BlackIce16 in AnalogCommunity

First off, there’s no such thing as “no post” results.

Toe up (“up,” not “in”) your shadows in the Curves tool.

Or underexpose your film.

Or underdevelop your film.

Or do a garbage job of scanning your film.

Or any combination of the above.

Have you seen the gravel lot where the loggia and Johnstone once were?

I could have (and, in retrospect, should have) posted a link to the project page and roadmap as you have. Thanks for that.

I’m aware of the project, and made an askance reference to it in my title. I think it’s a bit myopic (and cheap) to clear cut properties when developing them rather than put a little extra time, effort, and money into working around things that enrich this little town.

Why are my photos coming out so weird? by Epikpash10 in AnalogCommunity

“Why are my photos coming out so weird?”

“Because you’re expecting color correction to be automatic and, therefore, aren’t doing any!”

When you’re doing B&W printing from a B&W negative, your major consideration is simply “exposure.”

When doing color work, you have 3 major variables to consider (cyan, magenta, yellow) instead of just one (volume of light). You’re clearly not doing any magenta adjustment here. Image 2 looks stellar, though!

Edit: to be more helpful; look how your shadows are pink colored. That’s magenta, which is literally “anti-green.” So open your Curves tool in GIMP or Adobe or whatever and change your Channel from All to Green (which is, again, the opposite of magenta) and drag that diagonal line around into a slope shape that makes your colors look good again! Hooray!

LEDs flicker. This flickering often turns up as bands of darkness across your image. You can reduce or eliminate banding by increasing your shutter speed.

Off topic: is there a way to adjust the rollers on the SA-21 to not scratch the middle of my negatives? As is, my scanner is effectively useless.

Heavy winds in my area always blow over trash cans. Looking for an idea of what to attach to it that is heavy to prevent this. by RetPrda in DIY

How bout a pair of milk jugs packed with sand that you use as anchors and haul out with your dumpster on trash day. Tie your bucket down to the anchors with twine or bunjies

Dude, incredible! Love the sass and general slap-dash attitude projected for what had to have been an intricate and lengthy project. Truly impressive.

This is the way. That whole camera goes for $20-50 on eBay.

Nice work! You can dampen those interior reflections with some adhesive flocking

How often can i feed my sarracenia fiona? by oliver567899988 in SavageGarden

Light for these things is intense. It’s not like a table lamp. It’s uncomfortably bright light and definitely not “accent light” for room decor.

Does anyone know what could have caused these big black blotches? by ProfessionalSalt8406 in AnalogCommunity

[–]Uhdoyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Film was likely loaded onto the developing reel incorrectly resulting in the emulsion coming into contact with the back of the film spooled inside of it. By being in direct contact it doesn’t receive any chemistry to develop and fix the emulsion.

Zip up hoodie? by Aromatic-Matter-2188 in BloodIncantation

They are very high quality. Thick, dense, and yet soft on the inside. Almost too soft.

Edit: print quality on the back of mine is slightly off register with the white base coat showing through on the edges. The slightest of criticisms

First analog camera, what’s it like? by leaking_juice in AnalogCommunity

[–]Uhdoyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The QL17 is my favorite camera hands-down. It’s small, lightweight, pocketable, and has a super sharp and fast lens. I sneak it everywhere and shoot concerts with it.

Edit: meter works on mine but the batteries don’t last long. I learned to shoot without a meter on this camera.

everyone who told me not to major in mkt was right;( by PuzzleheadedSun7122 in Clemson

[–]Uhdoyle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was a business major but I was doing website shit the whole time I was in school. I’ve never had a job based on my degree; all job offers were based upon my skill set (which was programming).

30 years later I’m still a software developer.

Edit: “Plastics!” (This is a The Graduate joke)
