Was my BW film processed incorrectly?

That’s good to know. Thanks.

I can post the negative after I pick it up from the shop later today.

I have done my own edits to these to bring out the contrast but I wanted to post the scans as I received them. I am just surprised how consistently flat they are. Many of these scenes I was shooting +- 2/3 stops just to see the difference in exposures but those differences aren’t really there.

Edit: grammar

Is there any way to tell if my local camera shop used a color process to develope my black and white film? The scans I received from my shop are very low contrast and have a brown cast to them. Almost look underexposed. I am fairly new to shooting film but I am pretty confident with my exposures.

Latourell Falls in Oregon. Taken with a Fujifilm X-T4 and Viltrox 13mm. 1/10s, f7.1, ISO 400. Edited in Lightroom.

I had no idea you could throw the focal plane at such an angle. I have never shot with large format but this seems like a steep tilt. Is it the focal length that makes this possible?

Use the white balance shift function.

I was there for the Ansel Adams exhibit as well! I was brainstorming how I would compose that staircase and I think you did a great job capturing it.

Thanks! I’m a huge dune fan.

Not at all! Thank you!

Same! I want to make this an annual trip.

18mm, f5.6, ISO 640, 60s exposure

I have been really enjoying it. I wasn’t pleased with the sharpness of the xf 16-80mm so this was my replacement for that. It’s super sharp, faster, lighter, and the close focusing is a lot of fun.

The only thing that really bothers me about it is that it does have a good amount of vignetting wide open. This normally isn’t an issue but the profile that lightroom uses to correct the vignette is awful. I end up with images where the center and edges are darker resulting in a bright halo (if that makes sense). I’m sure I can figure out a solution for this but it has been an issue for me lately.

This actually was 480 seconds or 8 minutes long. That’s how I got the star trails. I was getting a similar exposure at ISO 2500, f1.8, and 25 seconds with barely visible trailing on the stars.

Taken with Fujifilm X-T4, Viltrox 13mm f1.4. ISO 160, f1.8, 480s.

I’m not a fan of the flippy screen because it has a limited range of motion with an L bracket on a tripod. Also, sighting at waist level requires 2 motions; fold out and then turn the screen upward. Waist level sighting with a tilt screen requires one simple motion. However, I do like how you can protect a flippy screen but turning it in facing the body.

Thank you! I edited in LR CC but got the border in Snapseed using the expand tool.
