Did you selectively color the eyes with an in-camera filter or did you do it in post processing? I've always been amazed how good some cameras will do on their own without photoshop.

no digital @ 1600.

i would go with tmz if i couldnt get my hands on fuji's 1600. ilford films are flat in general and pushing tri-x 3 stops isnt worth it if you have access to higher rated films.

Dave, are you going for the hard gritty look? Pushing Tri-x 3 stops is a hard one, IQ suffered quite a bit even when I tried pushing it 2 stops. Also are you developing yourself? I personally love Tri-x but for higher ISO, ie 3200 I use TMAX3200 with good success.

Oh yeah, got a little impulsive in the past two days and ordered me-self the Voigtlander 12mm along with a Bessa-R3m/50mm F2 Heliar. Can't wait to shoot Europe with it next spring...Halleluyah!

no grit, just low light. I thought the TMAX 3200 was called Tri-X TMAX 3200, so I wasn't going to push Tri-X 400 that far. If I push it will only be to 1600

Forgot to mention with film nowadays I cheat and shoot everything in colour(velvia 100/provia 400NPH). Photoshop is so handy that I can achieve the B&W look I want so I don't bother with the hassle of developing B&W film.

hmm..if I remember correctly, Tri-x is fine grained and Tmax is super fine grain, plus Tmax is bias in terms of contrast with highlight areas and lower in the shadows where as Tri-x is the opposite. I've always like the classic look of Tri-x vs the newer improved TMAX.

I could push the Tri-X I have to 1600, but the 3200 might be easier to handle and give more detail. I'm going to shoot a high school basketball team documentary style, so I forsee light being an issue. I'm not going to shoot plays during games where high shutter speed is a key, but I am looking for DoF. I could always use a flash, but I want to avoid going that route if at all possible unless the flash adds to the look. For instance, I like to zoom the flash to 105 then shoot in 28-50mm range.. that makes some interesting effects.

why are you shooting film over digital? are u printing everything yourself?

just go with tmz (tmax 3200)

It's for class, I don't have any choice... But I really do like shooting film. It doesn't have the instant gratification of digital, but it really adds to the experience. I'll probably try a roll of TMZ, but I hope I can get away with Tri-X at 400 and a flash

edit: i was just playing around with the image a bit and doing an even crop on both sides isn't all that bad...however it does kinda unbalance things a bit and a lot of the focus is then directed towards the background/cieling of the picture. it really just needs to be left in the wide aspect ratio it seems :icon26:

i gave it a try too, croped lady no.12 cause she is standing in front of another player whoose arms are visible. makes her look odd on the first glance. also tilteld the image a bit to the left so 7&1 are roughly on the same height on each border. noticed then that the players heads form an V similiar to the pipes on the ceiling..

[pic]

good crop bad crop, dunno

@birds: lol, first i thought WTF are the birds doing there at the wall of the building.. then opened the big version to see that they are fake one hehe, nice image

OK crop, I just didn't want to hack anyone off. I think I'll just do letterbox style black bars like FX suggested

your injoying film now i see

its great fun.

i could not believe the diff between cheap film and costly film.

i went to the pro shop in town and bought a couple of each of the most costly'est films.

just kodak and fuji , i kinda agree with prince about ilford.

i find i usually prefer fuji overall tho

Aye, same. Minneapolis, though... which by the look of it, you aren't remotely near.

Well I'm somewhat near, go up 65, or 35 a little ways.

That could be just about anywhere.. . Blaine, Bethel, Isanti, Cambridge... I'm going to guess from the look of the picture that it's near Bethel...

(don't worry, I'm not trying to stalk you)

btw, I was driving past your neck o' the woods this morning -- driving home from Mora on 65.
