My daughter's baptism

[smakelijk11]

I have fallen in love with film photography and picked up a Mamiya AFD and 80mm lens. My wife took this photo for my daughter's baptism with Fuji 400H film. Thinking of getting a JOBO and developing all my film at home. My digital cameras are collecting dust (kidding). Both are great and I'm having a tonne of fun.

Thank you. Do you see a green cast?

In the first shot, yes, i see excessive green in your hair the most, in her hair a bit, and a bit of color cast on your forehead and your facial skin tones also look a bit too yellow-green, not by a lot, but it's there in the skin tones. Your hair shows the green tinge the most.The whites look better than the skin tones.

I see just a teeny-tiny bit of a color cast in the second shot, on her hair and the side of her face, camera right, and it looks like more of a yellow cast than green, like 10 CC units too much yellow, probably from the doors and surrounding wood work.

Ok so if I paid a lab to remove this, they should have done it properly?

Well...a LOT of people cannot spot color casts very well, and you are assuming that the lab had fully-qualified and fully-capable personnel doing the work. It took me a long time before I could "see" color issues; it's one of those abilities that is not always instantly developed, and these days, many labs do not do super-great work, for whatever reason(s).

There are several great film labs that will color correct for skin tones: Richard Photo Lab is in CA, FIND Lab is in UT, and Indie Film Lab is in AL.
