A Portrait of Jane (Patreon)
Content
As some of you know, I gave up darkroom photography three or four years ago. It was partly about the isolation, partly about concern for toxic chemicals and their effect on me, and mostly because I just prefer to work in daylight these days. However, I have MANY film negatives, mostly medium format and 8x10. This is an example of a 120 negative I dry scanned on a flatbed scanner, and then 'cleaned up' (more or less) in Photoshop. This is not the ideal way to scan a negative. Most of the b&w images I have posted in the past have been scans of prints, which to my eye are of better quality than this one. My questions to you are these:
1) Do you feel like the image quality of the above image is good enough that I should share more here?
2) Do you even want to see more at all (scanned b&w images)?
3) Do any of you that are photographers here have experience with 'wet' scanning on a flatbed scanner?
