ParticipantAre scanned from film images OK?
No. We’re going to mail prints around to each of us. 😯
Sorry. I’m just in a silly, sassy Friday mood. Please take no offense.
/ I’m sure I will archive dive for kid pics I took before my first Canon Powershot G3.
//However, Mr. Mopsy recently gave me his Canon FTb with 50 mm f/1.4. He had a friend “get him the good lens” during a trip to Japan in the 70’s so it might be an f/1.2 but I don’t think so. I also have some expired 35 mm film… I just might get out this weekend.

I was going to hold a print up to a webcam…

KeymasterHell, I’ve cross-processed expired slide film at Walgreens. Just be sure to tell them you realize it’s not C41 and warn them it might look funny but that it’s ok.

ParticipantCan I just photograph my slides on a light table for this one? My scanner broke. 🙁

I think that should be fine. I’ve done that in the past when I’ve wanted to use a film print for farktography myself.
November 4, 2011 at 11:46 pm #41365KeymasterIf you’re simply using that as a way to transfer your film images to the digital medium, I don’t have a problem with that.

Participantravnostic I don’t know, I’ve not gotten images on a cd in forever. You can probably ask at the desk though and find out.
We’ve also gotten cross-processed film done at the drug store. We just tell them it’s “artistic” film and will look funny.

I was just thinking about leaving the prints in their album and snapping shots with my DLSR.
Yeah, it gives crappy results with warpage and glare, but I was in a hurry and only had a few hours at home between trips. Otherwise, I’ve got nothing.

Participanti have eleventy billion photos and or negatives but will probably try to get some new ones with mother’s old argus. won’t have time to get shots from the TLR Rollie done.

This is the only way I was able to get my film up onto a computer.
/ugh, this theme is only a few days away and I have a couple rolls of unprocessed film I haven’t gotten a chance to develop. The closest film development place is about an hour’s walk from me, so I doubt I’ll make the time to walk there after work anytime soon 🙁

ParticipantQuestion: No post processing? Or is that allowed, given that some ‘real’ film types can do adjustments in the darkroom?
Kind of a moot point for me, since no one stepped up to OBO me, but I thought I’d ask anyways.
//bats pitifully sad eyes, sheds a tear…
November 6, 2011 at 2:27 pm #41388ParticipantNow, now…your OBO request was buried amidst a bunch of blathering and you know it. 🙂 I’m on-call this week so there’s always a chance I’ll be doing something work related at go-time, but I can post for you. If you choose somebody less risky I won’t be hurt.
For me, post processing will be limited to making the scan look like the print. I’ll get rid of some dust and that’s about it.

ParticipantI don’t normally offer to OBO for TF’ers since I know y’all like to get in early, but since I’m temporarily a TF’er (thanks much again to someone who wishes to remain anonymous!), I can OBO for you, rav.
November 6, 2011 at 7:13 pm #41390ParticipantOn another note, olavf and kat, would you mind keeping your freaking earthquakes confined to out your way? 🙂 I always assumed that was the deal – Californian’s get the nice weather and earthquakes, and we get the tornados and terra firma.
For those that don’t follow OK news, we had the largest earthquake in state history last night – a 5.6. It was preceded by a 4.8 Friday night. I know you’re thinking “big deal, we eat 5.6’s for breakfast,” but it actually buckled the highway in several places near the epicenter. No actual damage here that I’ve found, but I’ve experienced 6 quakes now (3 in Cali and surprisingly 3 in OK), and this is the first one where the experience went from “ooh, cool, earthquake” to “oh sh!t, maybe I oughta stand in a doorway!” 😯

ParticipantCISS it wasn’t me, I swear! I’ve been way too busy this week.
In other news, I may end up sitting this one out. Or, at best, scanning something from 1980 to have something to enter :p
