I made the shot above by exposing 3 6x6cm frames over one section of Fuji NP400 120 film. This is a process that is very easy with a £20 Chinese Holga, impossible with a £5000 Canon digital. I scanned the image at a relatively low 800 dpi, but this is fine for web use. I did a few small adjustments in Aperture 3 – increased the contrast slightly, darkened the blacks and added a green tint. These are all things that I’d do if I was actually printing it in a darkroom (for anyone born after about 1987, search ‘darkroom’ on Google for more information…)

I miss darkrooms, It took me a while to adjust to the digital-ness of it all…but I’m getting there

Glad to see you working the Holga, and it’s also good to see an analog-digital workflow example as well. There aren’t enough analog shooters these days!

LOL, your darkroom comment gave me a good laugh this morning Phil. Your work has helped inspire me to shoot film. I’m currently shooting a few roles on a Canon 35mm camera while I wait for my “new” Hasselblad 500c/m to arrive 🙂

Excellent!
I’m looking at another ‘blad….I had one for a while, but sold it because I thought I didn’t like the square format. But I do.

The UK£ price has gone WAY up on Hasselblad gear.

I randomly came across your site and already like your scans. Would you mind sharing your scan workflow and settings in VueScan? I really had trouble getting it right and I ended up just using the Epson scan software from my V600. Thanks.

Yes, of course. I’ll post them in the next couple of days (I’m just away from my computer at the moment)
