What went wrong? Pictures in night setting

Film Grain: Portra 400, while excellent, will exhibit grain, especially when pushed or underexposed. In low light, you're likely underexposing, which amplifies the grain during development and scanning.https://www-sunpass.com

Colour filters with B&W film

simonbarr 25.10.21, 19:45
When you use an orange filter with black and white film, it's primarily used to increase the contrast between the sky and other elements in your scene. The orange filter blocks some of the blue light, making the sky darker and enhancing the contrast of clouds. This can result in more dramatic and visually pleasing landscapes.

tri-x 400 dynamic range

Deleted user 19.04.15, 20:38
Quote: Deleted user 19.04.15, 20:38Hi.

I'm looking into shooting on film as I like the look and feel of it. So I bought a canon ae1 and a 50mm lens from ebay. Got a roll of tri-x400 film and just went out and shot the whole roll in one day. I dropped it off at a local foto store but was a bit disappointed when I got the developed and printed fotos back. Generally all shots are lacking contrast. Looking at it in photoshop the values are clipped at a dark grey and light grey. So no real whites and no real blacks. I used the zone system to expose my shots but accidentally got a few underexposed shots and even they are clipped at a dark grey. https://www.surveyzo.com/lazy-acres-survey/
I'd like to look into developing the film myself but just want to find out at which stage I made a mistake.
Am I exposing wrong? But even then whites and blacks shouldn't be clipped, right?
Did the photo store do something wrong? Looking at the negative, as far as I can tell the range looks quite all right, completely transparent and fully opaque.
Maybe the negatives got fogged?

Thanks for your help,
Fabian

Hello,

It's possible that the issue lies with the film development process or handling at the photo store. If your negatives look fine with a good range of tones, but the printed photos lack contrast and have clipped values in Photoshop, it might indicate a problem during printing. It's unlikely that proper exposure alone would cause the extreme lack of contrast you're describing. The negatives being transparent and opaque suggests they are well-exposed.

Fogging of the negatives is less likely if you didn't notice any unusual artifacts or haziness on them. To narrow down the issue, you could try another roll of film, ensuring proper exposure, and have it developed at a different lab or attempt developing it yourself. This would help determine if the problem was with the initial development process. Remember that learning to develop film yourself can be a rewarding experience and give you more control over the final results.

Analogue V Digital

Deleted user 22.02.11, 13:00
When it comes to the digital age, there are two primary types of media: analogue and digital. The former refers to those methods of communication that rely on a physical medium such as phone signals or radio waves. Here you follow this https://www.purewl.com/ and get more new things for software. The latter involves transmitting images and sounds on a computer screen over networks such as the internet. There are many similarities between these two forms of media, but there are also some important differences which means you can't just switch from analogue to digital in your business.

ae1 Rückspul-Problem

max.schnitzler.1710 11.06.22, 21:40
Moin Max,

zu einem bist Du hier im falschen Forum gelandet. Wie schon in der Beschreibung dieses Forums steht, geht es hier um Hilfestellung, wenn Du Probleme mit der fotocommunity oder Fragen zur dieser hast.

Zum anderen kannst Du den Film retten. Dazu gehört etwas Fingerspitzengefühl. Denn Du muss in absoluter Dunkelheit Deine Kamera öffnen und den Film herausholen, um ihn dann in einem lichtundruchlässigen Behältnis zum entwickeln geben zu können. Wenn Du es nicht selber machen willst oder kannst, würde ich die Kamera zum Entnehmen des Filmes bei einem Fotofachhändler abgeben.

Canonet QL19 - help, tips&tricks

Dennis Veldman 25.03.08, 21:36
Hey guys.
New to this so go easy, I'm trying to repair a canonet ql19 newer version and need to know how to adjust the light meter as mine is under exposing by 3 stops. I have checked repair manuals and adjusted a variable resistor but I don't think that can do it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Seems to me that those are not damages to the negative, looks like a scan problem.

"A little late"... :-)
My further possibility is that you or someone else clicked a couple of times with the lid on the objective.
Those shots received no light at all, and then you went on photographing regularly with the same film.
