    Cheers Steveo, I'm going through a film emulation phase with lightroom! :p

    My 100mm f/2.8 arrived yesterday, and bugger me is it sharp wide open :eeek:
    The lens didn't even look like it had been used but its 30 years old :lol:

    Anyway, here's some quick snaps I took in the evening indoors :geek:

    ISO @ 1600

    Lets see if I can get more people in trouble at work :p

    Interesting shoot this one. One location, one outfit, but I've got three totally different styles out of it. This is the first edit (not that it needed much). Also a rare 8x10 crop for me (I usually hate it... way too wide for portrait shots)

    I was a guest at a mate's wedding yesterday. The guy sitting beside me had his new-as-you-like 5D Mark III with 70-200 2.8L IS and also a 24-70 2.8L on a 500D. He said to me, "I don't use the smaller camera... it's just a glorified lens cap."

    Me with my lowly 5D Classic and nifty fifty, I was feeling good with £5k of camera pr0n sitting in front of me - made me miss my gear!

    Love the shot Lenny!

    EDIT:

    Almost old enough to qualify as a retro-jet!

    I finally got another solid real-world chance to put the D7100 through it's paces. I'm still not convinced that it is the low-light equivalent to the D700 but I will say this. When I can shoot in low ISO, I'm really impressed with the image quality and appreciate the resolution. This is a shot from a wedding yesterday with very little editing (crop and slightly smoothed her face since she was going to see this image). Color and exposure were unchanged.

    Thats really cool. I like the way you're using your screen as a whitebox. Brilliant.

    I'd get asda to scan them, they'll probably need a little work but the machines they use are very good.

    The method you're using does work, I've seen some pretty good results. These look a little dark on my office monitor, maybe the lens is a bit too close (?). Slide duplicators used to have a little separation from the film and the front element.

    I used a Paul C Buff 64" PLM. This was the first chance to use the front diffuser and I'm pretty pleased with it. Using just a regular flash.

    Cheers lance, I was amazed how well it actually worked!





    I heard that scans from supermarkets are very low res? I think I had the wrong film in for the shots I was taking, a lot of the film was underexposed, so bumping up the exposure in lightroom just made it grey!

    The negative was about 20-30cm away from the front element, would it be worth having white paper on the inside of the tube to kick a bit more light around? Gunna be experimenting again tonight! Will post up the results if they're worth posting :p

    Try using HSL on the RAW files and tweaking brightness after, instead of globally bumping the exposure. Ignore Hue, Saturate individual colours to taste and use Luminance to brighten each colour individually.

    Cheers for the tips and link, will have a fiddle! I use HSL in mist of my shots, especially the hue to make them look more film-esque. Will give those settings a try later but I wanted the film to look as natural as possible, as if they've just been scanned and the colours are as they're shot? :p

    Sadly none of the hills as the amount of heat haze up there was truly unreal.
