I told someone I would post the first roll of my medium format adventure. Now beware! The photo quality is very very poor due to only having access to a crappy scanner. It can't even scan the film..

Two accidental double exposures in the roll.

Here are just two from my vacation, I didn't shoot anything hardly the whole week.

Just about pissed myself when I took this one, I had my good DSLR out in the ocean in my jet ski. I was going to get closer to the bridge, but the current and waves were making me scared. :blink:

What kind of light source and what film were you using with those portraits? The colour is off and over saturated man.

The black and whites can be pushed a stop in exposure. Remember black and white neg has awesome latitude when used right.

I have no idea on the film, the light source was two 500 watt lights placed at camera height and one above the subject.

The color and everything is pretty much fine as far as I could tell, the scanner really butchered them. One of them is really over saturated though, but that's from bracketing.

I presume you are using daylight film with tungsten lighting?

Expose for the shadows and develop for the highlights.

If you push your exposure by 2 stops to expose shadows detail correctly, pull the development time by 2 times to retain highlight detail.

It's like HDR for black and white neg.

It wasn't a black and white photo and I don't do the developing myself.

And I would guess it was daylight film.
