haha, love that expression, well done

Trop bon, vraiment l'impression d'etre un spy cache dans la plante au 1er plan
Je pas mais il s'en faut de peu: l'expression vaut vraiment de l'or ici. Apres ce qui me differencie des puristes du street shot c'est que le focus et la composition me genent un peu; sinon c'est tres bien Pour ce qui est du focus, tu dois pouvoir ameliorer en re-sharpenant un poil; pour la composition, l'avantage du centrage, c'est que ca met vraiment dans le contexte donc c'est un peu comme la theorie du verre a moitie-plein/vide! Chacun y trouve donc son bonheur et c'est parfait
PS: bonnes lumiere et exposition, et impact!

_{Is it Safe?}

personally i think that the background is too messy (maybe smaller DOF will help), and the faces of main characters are bit overexposure.
But the picture has got that 'someting', that is in the title.

What a capture - these shots are so unloved on this site.

DEVIANTART! Nowhere will you find a more wretched hive of scum and villany...we must be cautious.

Maybe all men got one big soul that everyone's a part of. All faces are the same man....one big self.

Thanks!
I could see your point for the background. I like when faces are a bit overexposed. But for this photo, for the DOF and exposure, I couldn't do better: I was at the biggest aperture (low light) for the best speed. It's a manual camera...
I appreciate your comments, I hope you come back soon!

thanks for the

How do you scan your 35mm films? I have sent mine to a company and asked them to scan in jpeg. But scans are not good... I missed details and the grayscale is not the best. Do you do tiff? I may consider this option...

welcome karine, just like the photo

i currently get them scanned on some fuji machine at the lab where i get my color processed. i haven't scanned a single self-processed b/w so far . if you think the scans don't represent the negs then afaik it's rather the scanner itself than the format. some guys like to use the nikon coolscan ev which is a neg scanner. but there's also flatbeds with special holders for negs, heard that canon sucks, epson is said to be good. there's some model for 200, 300 euro or so with an inlay which already has good results. *zort told me that *Suzage owns one of these, you'd have to ask her

I think the lab I bring my films to has an Epson. However, I asked them jpeg formats. And I do have some crap photos. Compare this one: [link] (processed with a new developer + jpeg scan) with this one [link] (expired developer + Tiff scan). More different grey tones in the last one than in the first. And although the light is completely different, Flo's skin is pretty badly "grained". In all my last photos, I have this crappy texture. I don't think this is due to the processing, do you? Moreover, I think I don't want to invest in a scanner and the flatbed we have at work is only good for 120mm (and scans are better than my 35mm's).
That's why I was wondering whether you have notices any difference between jpeg and tiff and if you scan preferentially one or the other.
Thanks Sebastian!!!
Karine.
