Playing with Delta

I recently posted a bunch of photos taken on the South Downs back in late December.

Old fashioned tearoom at Birling Gap

I was playing with Ilford Delta 400 film (pushed to 800) for the first time; in fact it was my first time shooting monochrome since college. It was a typically dull winter day, but still great to get outside and take the old Canon A1 for a spin.

    Richard, these are beautiful images! So much atmosphere and in the results.

    Have you added the warm tones later or is that straight from the film?

    I used the sepia filter in Fireworks. Orginally I had intended to upload the simple black and white versions, but against the warm browns of Clagnut, the photos ended up looking slightly blueish.

    What did you scan the photos with? I’m having no luck with my Microtek E6 – I think the settings are a bit skewiff. Everything comes out too dark…

    I used Colab’s ImageCD service. For 10 they process and scan a film, so you get negatives and a CDR but no prints.

    As usual their processing was immaculate, but I was really disappointed with the scans – some of them had really prominent scan lines especially in the dull sky areas.

    I’ve had them three times about the scan lines at colab head office. The last time i told them it was a real problem cause some images are simply unusable. They redid the lot and hopefully its goin to stop now. I’m watchin closely tho.

    120 dev and cdr 7 quid for well weighty tiff files. thats nice.
