geez thanks guys! speaking as someone living in a hovel in brooklyn (and approx. 30) though I sometimes wish I were somewhere else. somewhere with an actual horizon and sunlight and interesting shadows etc.went back out to california (la and sf) recently for a couple of trips and really would have liked to stay longer to take more pictures. sf is still just about my favorite city and la is really photogenic! there's light everywhere, lots of odd shadows and reflections, absurd buildings, and poles, antennas, power lines etc. as far as the eye can see! and horizons!! I'd imagine that texas offers many of the same advantages (at least as far as light and the horizon goes).
the flash work was for (argh!!!!) a friend's wedding! but I was backed up with digital and a second camera. I've tried using a flash in public from time to time, but I'm no Bruce Gilden and the results (with a couple of exceptions) weren't worth it. so I use a flash... when it's dark!

ha, ahh that's interesting. see i still just shoot when it's dark and things don't turn out. i am not sensible that way. it's interesting you took photz at a friend's wedding!, a bunch of friends got married this year & i kinda loved having my camera at both weddings & shooting, but that's so different from being the actual trusted one-shot photographer person who has the burden of capturing everything ON SUCH A SPECIAL DAY (like at one of the weddings i found i had pulled my trademark 'roll did not spool' trick, which i guess would not be well received had i been the main photographer - so yeah a good situation to use digital in).
i think flash is interesting, i have almost never used it, or not when i've been taking ~"photos"~ rather than just snapping with a digi on which i can't figure out how to turn it off. there can be something interesting about it - i know in a bunch of contemporary art a few years ago there was this kinda gloss-print, flash-image aesthetic in a lot of work, picking up on how hyperreal stuff can look, how much you can separate & freeze a figure from a background.
xp yeah doesn't it; i sorta assume it's basically a memphis furniture and fixture inventory c. 1973, only with him taking photos of the tables and stop signs, etc. something pure about it also though.

Those Matthieu Gafsau pictures are nice! I feel like I might have seen some before but I can't be sure.as far as weddings go, I would normally never in a million years want to volunteer for something like that, but they were friends who claimed they liked the way my pictures looked, as-is, and wanted me to snap away, so I figured they knew what they were getting into. still might have held off except for the fact that they also gave me $$$ for the plane flight plus some extra. I can't afford to take trips otherwise.other flash strategy = use the point-and-shoot on the "fill" setting (I've got an Olympus stylus for this purpose) and just fire away. looks like the kx seagull might fit the bill for that!

Bought a Epson V700 and set it up last night, I'd just forgotten what a PITA handling film for scanning was - flatness, dust control, long scans, etc.. Ultimately worth it, at least for medium-format with the V700, but boy does it make me appreciate digital workflow.

you probably just need to learn to slow your digital heartbeat milo, and commune with the sound and speed of the scanner; to understand that scanning a photograph & posting to ilx in the interim scanner processing period are as one.
i scan all of my stuff on the scratched-up beat-up library scanners because i can't commit to buying a super-cheap unscratched regular scanner because i'm still thinking about, unnecessarily chewing over, the whole buy-a-scanner, scan-yr-bw-negs thing that was discussed here a while back.

Agreed on that. This is my latest:
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7171/6434132729_2c74d7299f_z.jpg
re: scanning I don't even really have any control of image flatness w my machine. it's generally not bad but sometimes you can see a little curvature in straight lines. nothing worse than you might get from many lenses anyway though. dust on the other hand... the eternal struggle.
my workflow is slow too! but methodical and I enjoy it. 1.) get back (uncut negatives) 2.) cut into sections of 6 each 3.) scan frame by frame and adjust color sliders manually (no clipped anything if I can help it) and 4.) slip into negative sleeves, and label to match the folder the files are in. I don't do any auto dust removal unless I'm certain its a shot I want and it really needs it. either no sharpening or the lowest amount of sharpening. usually no negative color cast removal. all folders/sleeves say something like 0290-2011-XA2 Fuji Superia 400 so in theory I can easily find anything that needs a rescan down the road.
now what part of that hours-long process doesn't sound like a barrel of fun???

ha yeah, that sentence was only orphaned until I saw the pic - yr stuff really is so great. I think it's the relationships between people that make me always say Jeff Wall:
http://images.prophotos.ru/45/28/45282400d92357bb684da0e4991fd2fd_article_660_2008050717.jpghttp://www.chimpomatic.com/file-uploads/large/jeff-wall-bird.jpg
I love the broad church that is ILP, in terms of the varying methodologies of everyone involved; I can't totally follow the various steps of your scan/clean-up process - like idk what image flatness even is - but it's interesting. when you're playing with the colours, is that to match by eye to a print you've seen, or according to what you think they should be, or ?
― Never translate German (schlump), Thursday, 1 December 2011 14:15 (twelve years ago) link
yeah love Jeff Wall.image flatness is just actually literally getting the negative to be flat, rather than bowing or curving etc. I think some scanners sandwich it between glass, and drum scanners seal it with water maybe? but mine just holds the edges so if it's a fresh roll and very curved, it'll show a bit. can be flattened eventually though if I roll it in the opposite direction for a while.
the colors are half "what seems correct based on what I remember" and half "what looks nice." like I'll broadly try to move sliders until it looks "right" but will then move them a little more. in real life I never see cyan tinted shadows, but because its something that film does that can look appealing I'll maybe bring it out a bit on some shots. or warm the photo with yellow in the shadows, sharpen it with magenta, etc. that kinda thing.
I haven't gotten prints in ages, by the way, and when going through old photos back home in San Jose recently was reminded how nice even quick prints from a point-and-shoot could once look. got some new ones for a roll a week or so ago and the magic is gone! I think a lot of labs do digital prints now, even from negatives, and they automatically bump up contrast and do weird things with the color balance. didn't look good at all.
― chinavision, Thursday, 1 December 2011 14:25 (twelve years ago) link
I need to get in the habit of making contact sheets of all my negatives ($.39 8x10s at Walgreen's!), my old negative binders have lost most of the contact sheets and there's no organization to them at all. Thankfully it's mostly B&W and I can still 'read' negatives without a contact pretty well. Color neg, not so much.
It looks to me like 12x12 or even 15x15 prints from medium-format are doable from the V700 (or the equivalent in 6x7/6x9), which makes me happy. 35mm scanning isn't going as well, but I can't tell yet if I was just feeding it less-than-sharp negatives.

From what I can tell the + setting (3.5mm) is sharpest for my scanner. MF sharpens up well, but 35mm still iffy. Need to try some grainier films and try to base it on grain resolution. (moderately bitter that my professors pushed TMax 100 & 400 back then - so much harder to work with in general than Tri-X or HP5)
Also need to spring for Photoshop while I get student prices from my university - the Lightroom sharpening function does not seem as scanner friendly as the usual PS methods.
― milo z, Thursday, 1 December 2011 17:51 (twelve years ago) link
what does a full-size crop of a 35mm scan look like? I'm used to them never looking *temendously* sharp at 100%, but still fine for printing in a medium size.

but sharpness was never a big concern for me - I think that's one area where digital is always going to have 35mm beat. I prefer the 'roundness' of scanned 35mm - sharpness is not the only way to evaluate a photo!

re: spooling disasters etc., I now have a fair number of, say, misloaded rolls, or rolls where I set the flash sync speed wrong, shots that were just way off (focus, etc.) and these things all used to just KILL ME, but by now it's not really much sweat. Having thought I shot a roll on a trip some months back only to realize the camera was empty, it just kind of didn't even matter much to me anymore. If the film isn't loaded, or I ruin a roll somehow (oh yeah, also through disastrous processing at some local shops a while back!) it's almost like no big deal. I never saw the thing anyway so I've got nothing to miss. If a beloved negative went missing or something though that would be different. I guess I figure all of my shots might as well be disasters until I actually get them scanned.Plus I get really used to discovering that all of the OMG CAN'T BELIEVE I GOT THAT AMAZING SHOT pictures are generally nothing to write home about, with some exceptions.

I 'finished' that eggleston book - some interesting stuff in the interviews & articles towards the back
-wish I didn't know that it was curated by michael almyreda or w/e his name is - doesn't 'feel' like an eggleston book or at the very least has a different character to it. a lot more 'people' shots, and I think that was intentional, to distance itself from the other egglestone books out-eggleston majored in painting in college & still paints (hey him and HCB). apparently knows a bit about color theory, probably more than he lets on-sometimes he shoots the same thing more than once

yes. p much. there are exceptions. i remember meeting jim jarmusch when i was young & a young man & living in new york & shooting a couple of pics of him & someone taking pics of me talking to him (i wrote my dissertation on him so it seemed like this weird quintessential moment) & them just never printing, i couldn't even work out (because of my backlogue-disorganisation) which roll they'd been on, my olympus would sometimes jar on 24 & shred the rest of a roll. & that was sad. but it just sorta isn't the same thing. i wrote down an index from memory of one of the recent rolls i lost & that exists even if the film doesn't, it's just different. & to go an extra philosophical mile, anything i shoot after a mis-fired role wouldn't exist had i spooled that one correct, everything would be different, so you deal with what you've got. people are always like WELL GUESS IT'S TIME TO GO DIGITAL when i lament some classically-analogue failure but its limits & risks are cool with me, it's just a different thing to the documentation i'd be pulling with digital.

I have three rolls of medium-format film and a roll of Tri-X on my desk that have been waiting for me to build up enough film to send off for development.
I actually think backlog is good - the Instagram/Flickr/etc. 'need to post something on the reg' is not necessarily the best. I mean, you wouldn't mail a curator or gallerist one print at a time as you did something, you'd amass a body of work and display it. Better not to die with thousands of undeveloped rolls (ala Winogrand or Vivian Maier), but some space between what you did and what you're seeing on the light table/in prints is not a bad thing.

There were rumors it was getting discontinued, but I dunno what's up with that. Maybe Fuji let production lapse to make price increases more palatable.
I ordered 25 rolls from Midwest Photo Exchange for cheap and they were supposed to be recently expired. But they ran out of the expired stuff before shipping mine, took a month to get more, etc., so I got a steal on film that's still good 'til late 2013.
