Post your favorite shot from your most recent roll

For exposure, or should I say so I can maintain a certain shutter speed. I think this was shot at 1/60th shutter speed (1/60 rated at 1600ISO). That's as slow as I can go to get a decently sharp image.

Thanks. Again nice image.

No problem!

Wow! Amazing camera control. That freaking lens is amazing and you control it well. That control can not be easy. I trust Adobe is your friend here, although, I see that character in your copy.

Thanks but you lost me at the Adobe part! hahaha

Lol, my bad. My reference was directed at editing film images. I would be curious as to your approach. I am not being critical but more interested in your approach. My approach is a direct scan and post. I am challenged at post software. On images like these, it would take me 5 minutes to set them up with film.

Oh! I don’t use Photoshop for anything except for advance retouch and resize images. I use Lightroom to color correct skin tone even on film scans, and either add or reduce contrast. The scans directly from my lab are very flat intentionally. Lighter skin can be a pain on film especially with the reflected green foliage, so I correct that before exporting. I export in full size then batch resize both digital and film images to the same longest length. It takes probably about 5-15 seconds to inspect, correct, and add the contrast on each film scan.

Yeah, i've been using it for close to, or maybe more than, 10 years now. I've thought about trying some other stuff just to see what it's like, but I figure, if it's working, why change.

It's just like D76 IMO, uncanny, like it's the exactly the same. It was my first developer I ever tried. I use HC11O mostly now. It's just convenient.
