When I first started shooting B/W film, digitizing negatives was
a fun,awesome, quickie, cheap way of seeing the result of my work.
I would set up a digital camera to shoot the negatives against
my laptop screen, then import it into photoshop and invert it.
2 months ago I returned to my hometown (sabah) and found heaps
of old film that I used to shoot during my days as a kid. But I couldn't
find the prints. So I tried converting the negative. but you get this nasty
blue tint on it because of the color negative's orange tint.
I gave up. Every now and then I'd go back and give it another go.
Eventually...I managed to neutralize the blue tint...quite fulfilling to see
that "digital-color-print-negative". The two negatives above
were one's I discovered the shop had left out during its printing. What a
pain.
