Remember the pain? Thaipusam shootout.


Been busy the past week and only had time to finally look through my photos now. Saw many many excellent contributions and here are my humble unrefined shots.

Thanks third3rdwheel =)



Master your head lah.... I'm just an unrefined man holding a camera ;p



Thanks master gommy. Hope to have chance to meet u and learn from u =)

Swee! The long awaited missing pieces. Lol....this thread cannot be closed without u. The most "refined" unrefined shooter in the outing grp. I like your "No bull ****" style...:bsmilie:man:thumbsup:
 

Try over exposing the superia 1600 by 1/2 stop, nicer colors. I used to shoot it direct at 1600iso instead of slightly over exposing it, turned out rather grainy & colors alittle on the flat side.

What do you mean by overexposing ? Shoot below ISO 1600 (e.g. metered at IS 1200) ?

I adjusted asa on the camera to 1600 as per the film rating. Then +1/2EV

My experience with superia 1600 is that shooting at 1600 rating, the film gets slightly under & very grainy. By slightly over exposing it, solves that problem.

Thats my experience, not sure about the rest here.
 

Just developed the roll that I started shooting that early morning before the M9 took over completely...

Sure took a long time to get it developed. Bro, your pics have confirmed to me that we shoot better with film camera than digital.

Thanks Dan...I'm still learning

I finally had time to set-up my computer and scanner at home so here are my belated shots from our night out!

B&W Set - All photos in this set were taken with a Bessa R2S and w-Nikkor C 35mm f1.8 on Neopan 400 and Ilford Delta 3200, both at ISO1600.

Colour Set - All photos in this set were taken with a M6TTL and Zeiss C-Sonnar 50mm f1.5 or CV Nokton 35mm f1.4 SC on Fuji Provia 400X at ISO800 or ISO1600

It was quite a challenge to shoot all my colour photos with slides but I think they came up ok. I am especially please to see how Provia 400X behaves when pushed to ISO800 and ISO1600.

Your comments are much appreciated.

I hope you don't mind the borders, I could not be bothered cropping every single frame...

And I even have a photo of Wongsan!

I am using the holder provided with the V700 and the Epson software, apart from that I am not doing anything special!
