need advice on B&W film.

[Iustinus]

Hi all,

I just start shootin with B&W film not too long ago.
So far taken around three to four rolls of it.
I always feel that my B&W pics come out abit blueish.
compare with some B&W pics taken by others, there are like kind of sepia based.
Will upload some pics in these few days to let u all comment.
but meanwhile can anybody enlighten me on it.

I used Kodak Tmax 100&400 and Ilford delta 100&400 before.
all come out got blueish feel. is it due to film itself(if so, any guild line to tell diff B&W films characteristic)?

or the develop stage? or scannin?
all my films i sent to Tripple D to develop and scan.
can u all also name me ur fav photo lab where u sent ur B&W film for develop and scan?
how much for it?

Please help and many thanks.

if you're serious about b&w photography, you should definitely try self-developing..

What do the negatives look like to you ? Some films may have a slight color cast, but if your problem is only after scanning then the simple solution is to just save in a black and white format. Color calibration is one of those looks easy but
not so easy things because it depends on the film itself, the scanner, the monitor and the environment.
