ACROS 100 November 2012

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I don't often post my film photos here, but in light of tomorrow film meet I thought I would share a few images from the last roll of film I have gotten back. This roll of film was in Katrina's FE2 for over a year by the time I decided to finish it.

I have to admit that I am very much a Fuji Neopan fanboy...it is the film that I turn to and trust to deliver results. I love its contrast and tonal range, its ability to withstand less than careful development and the consistancy of the results. This roll of film was developed through a machine running T-Max developer and scanned to TIFF using a Noritsu scanner (mini-lab scan). Most of these have only been quickly dusted and maybe some contrast adjustments (they scan a bit flat at times). For the full set view here

Although a little soft (I think), I love no. 2.
Regards, Patrick

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

I'm gonna say it....maybe it's just me, but I can't tell the difference between B&W film that has been digitised or a digital coloured image that has been carefully converted to black and white using appropriate software.
Maybe I need to see the prints in order to make the distinction. Suspect I'm gonna get some flack here but, I'm just sayin.

at approx 800px you are not going to notice a difference, but when I have a full scan in front of me it is very obvious (these are 6774x4492 TIFF files to begin with)
