Another beautiful picture. Many have posted wonderful images from all over the world but I must say, you have consistently shared the most wonderful pictures from right here in Singapore.

Thanks so much for sharing.

Ah Kang! Looks like that evening you have captured the most beautiful moments!

Is 612 considered large format already?

 

[lkkang]

strictly speaking, anything taken with 120mm roll film should be consider medium format....
However, the shot was taken with a 4x5 mono-rail... so.. little bit gray area here...

whatever the format is...thanks for the compliments

Well done! Nice pictures!

These were taken in 1999 period. Long time ago.
I shot an old abandoned Datsun Taxi, but I can't find the old film.

guys, wen shooting with slides, is it better to be underexposed abit?

guys, wen shooting with slides, is it better to be underexposed abit?

Slides have very limited latitude. For Zones (levels of light and dark), we use the slide film at this levels:

Zone II = -3 stops (very black)
Zone III = -2 stops
Zone IV = -1 stop (dark middle tone)
Zone V = +- 0 stops (middle tone from grey card)
Zone VI = +1 stop
Zone VII = +2 stops (already burnt out! totally white)

Usually real life is very complex. Readings from an average meter (zone V) , assuming the meter is accurate, and -1 stop to zone IV, may give a general good exposure for slides. I would say its 70-80% success rate.

If you want 100% success rate, identify all the zones and make sure your subject of interest is right between zone IV and zone V.
Use a spot meter from a DSLR or a dedicated light meter. The DSLR sometimes give -1 stop off because of the lens or whatever reason.

Note that Fuji velvia 100, Kodak E100VS and Fuji velvia 50 all behave differently.


However, for print film (negatives), modern versions are so good it allows a lot of errors.
-0.5 stop to +4 stops may not tell any difference.
For print film, I always expose +1 stop to get better contrast.
