I guess #1#2 was under exposed and cause the lack of contrast _________________ T* |

Shooting B&W is a real art and the use of different coloured filters to emphasise details in particular areas is really important.

Regarding your frustration, I wonder if you have to take the developing and scanning out of the hands of the lab in order to get consistent, reliable quality. They aren't used to B&W any longer and I'll lay 10-1 that they scan entirely by guesswork. Developing B&W is really very easy - just like cooking a casserole, stick to the instructions and it works. Scanning is a lot more difficult but if your neg is good, then you can spend as long as it takes to get it right. And, of course, you learn more and more about it all the time. An Epson V500 is really very cheap and extraordinarily good value. It will also let you scan to 20 x 16 size if you want. rather than providing tiny, low-quality files only suitable for postcards, which is all you get from High Street services. _________________ View or buy my photos at:

I hear what you are saying Paul as that was what ran through my head when I saw the hairs on the scanned image(2nd or third time I have had a foreign artifact in my scanned photos)...and after reading all that you guys can do in the developing stage and different mixes it has got me thinking. _________________ Moira, Moderator

hello.
I agree with previous posts. The first 2 pix are interesting even if a bit underexposed. Following 2 are good. The landscapes need more contrast, but this can eventually be cured in post process. You're on the right path, I've seen you're lookin for a scanner so possibly no more hair in future .
And, if you're thinking about developing yourself go ahead with no fear. Ain't rocket science
Cheers, Marty. _________________ Canon FD
