That film was Kodak BW400CN, had it developed and printed at Walgreens, it's a c-41 b&w film. I actually scanned the prints this time and did a little PS adjusting because the scanner really washes out regular scans but not negative scans, so I tried to match the prints. Had them printed since I didn't want to scan a bunch of negatives only to find they turned out really bad because I wasn't operating the camera correctly or something. The majority of the time I only have them developed, using this lab now for my newer film but I'm not sure what the price is, will tomorrow. Everything else I've posted aside from those last ones aren't processed at all, just downscale them for the web.reggieandTFE said:
JLateralus said:Question:
I wanted to learn how to take some more action oriented shots, so I had my dogs running around in the yard.
I opened my aperture up wide (Canon EF 100mm f/2.0 lens @ 2) so that I would have a fast shutter speed (1/800s in this photo).
I thought that with a fast shutter I'd be able to freeze action, but it didn't work out so well. My guess is that my depth of field was too narrow because of the aperture?

oh dude go up to ISO 400 f4 or f5.6 and you should still have plenty of shutter speed to stop action.JLateralus said:
You did freeze the action, you just didn't have it in focus. 1/800 should more than enough to freeze this type of movement. Close down the aperture and up the ISO an equal amount to deepen your depth of focus.JLateralus said:

Definitely a nice picture, but why not try cropping some of the black parts? Either just crop out a good chunk of the lower black part, or if you don't like the proportions that way, you can crop some of the stuff to the left too? I tried it out and cropping lower + left part looks really great. Just putting some suggestion out there though!Phoenix4 said:

Mate these are great. Dont try and touch these up in any way, Not every image has to be pristine and sharp. If you dont mind me asking, what camera and film did you use?RefigeKru said:Random Film pictures, unable to make them look clean, given up caring.
The quality degrades so much. ;/

Thx. I love medium format, it pulls in so much detail... The Hasselblad I have was actually my first camera, my sister had an old Mamiya that I played around with so I decided to get something like it.RefigeKru said:
Antimatter said:Also Fuji Velvia 50 great, or greatest?
Think I like the second one the most too, followed closely by the third. There's some shit going on with these lenses that tends to lend itself to that look I think. The somewhat underexposed film helps in the last one (I metered a few rolls wrongly at 100 instead of 50), and the Velvia seems very contrasty to begin with. Would have liked to get a little closer to the tree on the first to edge out some of the stuff on the bottom, it bugs me for some reason.chaostrophy said:
