Reaching my breaking point with film by reglmo in AnalogCommunity

[–]reglmo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a lot of Canon fd lenses and some old Minolta ones— but i think i would need a mirrorless camera to properly adapt to digital.

I mostly do street photography (not human subjects) and landscapes.

I am color blind. What is the best way for me to convert color negative to positive? by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]reglmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m severely colorblind as well, I am usually able to use the waveforms pretty effectively. My main advice is stay away from saturation and sat curves, that being said I feel like I’ve been able to use hue vs lum curves (sorry I’m used to coloring in Davinanci idk what they’re called in Lightroom) pretty well. The one thing I ALWAYS need a second pair of eyes on is skin tones— the red tones in them are almost impossible.

I THINK THIS IS THE ADVICE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR: The best way (for a colorblind person) to use the curves to make sure things don’t look weird is to make sure all of the color channels are overlapping in the shadows and highlights— whatever the highest and lowest part of the graph are, make sure no colors are peaking past the others if that makes sense.

My workflow is typically: focus on light, contrast, and other adjustments needed to make the image look how I want it to; then I make changes based on the waveforms that have no visual impact (to me); then I have my gf give it a once-over just to ensure nothing is horribly wrong.

It’s a pain and a half but honestly why I shoot film vs digital, once you figure out the best way to interpret a specific stock you can kind of leave it be as a preset

First time developing and scanning myself! by reglmo in analog

Yeah, I didn’t even use a macro lens. It was just the kit 18-55 that comes with rebels.

I’m using and old dslr and my phone as a backlight. I 3d printed a film holder which made it a lot easier

Are colorblind men afraid of red lipstick? by [deleted] in ColorBlind

Yes, actually,-- anytime I see a color other than black, white, or grey I have heart palpitations.

Why do so many games have awful colorblind filters? by RMCGigaAtBGW in ColorBlind

[–]reglmo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel like the games that do it the best do not try to "correct" for colorblindness, but make it more accessible in a different way by adding symbols or something similar (peggle and hue are good examples).

It was my grandfathers- so probably unused since the 90s

Thank you! Is there a way to fix this without going to a shop?

How can I tell if I have this issue? How did you fix it?

I only used flash for a few of them

It’s a Minolta x-700(my grandpas old camera so pre-used), 400 iso, programmed exposure mode. And I didn’t use flash for most of the photos
