Maybe I should've titled the thread "Got Grain 2?" but these are some ideas
for later using better film, perhaps another camera. This is using Fujicolor
400, cheap Wallies film scanned at 2400dpi on Epson 4490:
Used the ANR glass, but this film is still badly curled on the ends where the ANR can't really do anything about it. Might try scanning these when they flatten out. Would like try shooting the last shot at night. These are using Sunny 16 manual settings as the meter in the camera was giving me some silly readings, although the battery is still good.

Not so bad, Bill!
I like a lot them, specially the #3.
Where do you think the grain comes from?. Have you got any prints from the lab?.

Jes, I'm beginning to think it's whoever is working the lab at Wallies, is how
the film comes out. Sometimes I get great results with the Fujicolor 400,
low grain, good colors, and sometimes it comes out like this. A puzzler.
Thanks for your comments. |

That lens sure picks up the goods
That last shot shows some real capability
Pretty impressive for a 30yo consumer camera aye?
Maybe try a different lab
Could be they dry the negs too fast at Walltart
Also if the negs are not conditioned with a fotoflo or similar
I have noticed with some B+W negs that flo helps them lay down better than no flo
Or maybe I'm just a babbling idiot
more likely _________________ Moderator |

the last chance Texaco to get anything developed as they close the lab
at 7pm on Sundays. If they use the same chems all week (thinking they do at least a weekly clean and change out the chems) I got some pretty tired developer to do these negs. Yeah, I'm casting about, too, farting at the wind as it were. My second Japanese Teahouse series used the same film,
same cam, and came out great, but as I remember, I got that film developed
either Wednesday or Thursday. Maybe they do a clean/replenish twice
weekly and I got fresh chems to hit those negs, dunno. |

Thanks, Poilu, exposure-wise, hummm, I didn't have to do that much to
move the exposure plus or minus when working post-processing.
Here's the view from the other end of the main library walkway:

IMHO, "grain" on film is not as disturbing as some "noise" on sensors is.
I especially don't like the colour noise, luminance noise is not too bad.
Film grain often adds expression. _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!

I think you're right about that - I've had similarly variable results from the same minilab operated by the same person, and I'd assumed it was down to chemical freshness (or lack of). Luck of the draw, sometimes. _________________ Dave - Moderator

The curling problem is probably the fault of the lab too. Even with my own primitive method of hanging up to dry, I don't get any curling on 35mm film. Andy's babble about drying too fast sounds very plausible to me. _________________ Peter - Moderator |

Peter, you're right, it is the fault of the lab. I was in a hurry picking up the
film and when I got home it was rolled in one piece in a film canister!
The nice Hispanic lady that works weekdays (cute, too, but I'm married)
always cuts and sleeves the film for me. Going to wait till Monday from
now on and forget Saturday and Sunday for Walmart processing.
Drying too fast then rolling the film and jamming it in a canister is not
good. I probably scratched 1-2 negs trying to get it out of the canister. |
