Topic: Adventures in jharr's slide dup film

[Indofunk]

A year (or more?) ago I traded James for some Ektachrome slide dup film he'd rolled. I think I've shot maybe 3 of those rolls so far? Can't quite remember. First roll was in Yellowstone National Park last year, and it came out a little faded and non-contrasty, as I figured old film like that should be. You can see the results here. In retrospect, it might have been due to old C41, because I just shot another roll of it and BANG it's vibrant and contrasty and beautiful. Very unlike myself, I didn't record what ISO I shot the Yellowstone roll at, but this last roll I shot at 25. That could also have been it, if I shot the previous roll at 50. Oh, last note, I did do a lot of color correction on these, but the color palate it gave me to work with was amazing, as the results show.

Anyways, enough words, here are some pictures!

Nice shots. I like this film so much. I have a roll in my Nikkormat FTn here next to me as I type. I am shooting this roll at 50, but I think I have shot it at 25 in the past and had very good results. I especially like your shot #7 with the Little Italy sign in the background. That is some really nice oof there. What camera/lens were you using?

Thanks! I actually shot that fire call box/Little Italy sign twice ... the first time at a wide aperture because I was rushing, and then I walked a couple of blocks and thought that I had better get it again at a narrower aperture because I feared the sign would be too out of focus. But guess what? This was the first, shallower dof shot (it also has much better people action in it, the next one has a big white car in the middle )

These were taken with my lowly-yet-powerful Canonet 1.7/40mm
