Aphrodite

[Pete Askew]

Here is shot number 3 (number 2 was the same but the film didn't process over its whole width and was difficult to remove from the sleeve - I think this batch was assembled by hand). Again, the negative looks good and I'll scan than in the next few days.

Speed Graphic + 7" Aero Ektar. ISO 160, 1/50s at 2 1:2.5. Photographed with a Sony RX100 and then colour temp etc corrected in LR.

I'm liking this film quite a bit.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Looks great, doesn't it? Nice film, camera and lens. What's not to like?

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks, Rob.

Well if this is the famous Aphrodite, no matter what camera or film, I think I would have hesitated as well as to stick to the one I keep in my mind. But a very fine attempt to glorify her here Pete

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks, Ivar.

 

[Paul Lange]

Very nice. I presume this is how the film will continue to look and they are not trying to improve it to get a cleaner image?

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks, Paul. I imagine that the placing and consistency will improve but the tonality will stay much the same I expect. The edges might get a bit cleaner but I, personally, like the ragged edges. The negative is pretty good though and only positioning etc needs improving (and cost).
