Ok don't stop reading this blog...but if you've ever thought of learning a little something about film photography, Justin ouellette has just reposted an updated post on how to develop your own films at home for sub $50 at www.chromogenic.com/verba.

Make heads towards www.2point8.whileseated.org for more interesting bits on street photography. The guy's managed to compile some old interviews of Gary Winogrand and the sorts

Lo-Fi Digitizing of color negatives

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.

Upon first inspection, the negatives seemed rather thin(underexposed). No surprise here...
..was shooting under pitch black conditions; only
lights from street lamps and buildings etc...don't really know wht the canon is metering on...

At long last

Tried this over the weekend, using a piece
of red transparency as a filter, then converting to
BW in photoshop via channel mixer, red (100%).
Not bad for 94 cents. And it actually gives
the photo a bit of a soft look whilst changing
the the overall tones. quite interesting result.
