1. I took my new Mamiya 645 Pro to the Rose Test Garden on Sunday and got many stares and some decent images. I have to do some bracketing tests with Portra 160 to figure just how I like it exposed because the images I scanned were a little too dark* for my taste. 

    I was under the impression that Portra 160 looked best not overexposed, but that must have been true for the indoor images that I’d shot in very specific conditions.

  3. This is what happened when I rated Portra at 800 and forgot to ask my co-worker to push the film. I was so mad at myself when I realized that in my haste that morning, I’d forgotten to write push 1 on the bag that I almost did not scan the roll. Then I remembered the latitude that the new Portra stock has and decided to see for myself if I liked it. And I do. 

    The light leak that I thought had gone away is back (in left hand side of the image) so I decided to upgrade to a Mamiya Pro 645 and I’ll keep the M645 for the times I run out of batteries.

  7. This image is the result of several scanning tests I’ve been conducting at work to get the best possible colors out of 400H. I’m getting close but not quite there yet.
