Hey, it's .

I like taking pictures with a digital camera, but I don't want to get a new hobby especially the one that involves chemicals, yet I enjoy watching these yotubers going through their process. I feel like I learn something every time.

Okay / people, pop quiz:

Corporate wants you to tell the difference between these two film strips.

Me: [starts scanning film]

Scanner: lol ok. Here's your 300MB files.

I think 48-bit color MIGHT have been a bad idea.

Just some things.

Another roll, fresh out of the tank. This time, doing a little diagnostics.

Kodak E-100 (E-6) reversal film, Nikon F100. I'll probably show the results tomorrow morning.

Part of me wonders if there's a dedicated instance for

because if there's not I might just use that as the excuse to make the Mastodon chunk of my infrastructure templatable for hosting provider reasons.

That means this holiday season I have...

  • 1 roll of ilford delta 400, 35mm
  • 4 rolls of Fuji x-tra 400, 35mm
  • 2 rolls of E100, 35mm
  • 2 rolls of ilford HP5+, 120
  • 5 rolls of Fuji pro 400, 120

I think that's enough to last for the holidays.

What could go wrong, trying to use color 120 film in a box camera?

Don't ask me how much it cost.

Hey remember that roll of I shot a few days ago?.

Turns out... almost no good scans, way too dark. I knew slide film was less forgiving, but I should have been set right. Either not enough time in the first developer, or I just need to tell my camera to compensate like.. idk, maybe 1-1.5 EV higher.

The world of , where you can take 36 perfectly fine shots, and what's recorded isn't usable at all. At least I'm not paying development fees

1: (Part of) the code
2: What the code takes in
3: What the code outputs

I never said it looked good, but hell, it works. It's slow, operating on a 1.8 GiB, 12952x45791 pixel TIFF scan will NEVER be fast with my devices, but at least I'm not doing this all by hand anymore.

Nope, guess Ektachrome is just blue when wet. Weird but, if it works it works.

moment:

ISO 400 film at EI 3200. AKA, pushing it to the limit of how far I can reasonably play with it's sensitivity and get good results.

Somewhere I got some light leaks (okay, I know where), but other than that, the frame that are good are good.

5 rolls. 60 exposures.
Let's see what I can make of these.

(Going to visit family on the 31st, some of whom are serious old-school photography people, so this'll be fun)

No promises, but it *looks* like I'll be able to make an attempt at color Soon™️.
