Portfolio: Shack

This photo was from a hand-processed roll of color slide film. It's not easy to do by hand; you generally need a machine and it's picker about temperature. It's not as hard as it's made to sound either, but if you need consistent results, you'll need a lab or a machine, as well as a consistent sink. Positives are a lot easier to deal with, dust-wise. They have less dynamic range though, so this particular one is a bit contrasty and feels more like digital (it didn't help that I underexposed it because I was worried about losing highlights, which I lost anyway). I was pleased that in spite of all this, I got quite respectable shadow detail in what looked almost blocked up... though that may be thanks in part to the Flextight scanner. It costs that much for a reason. The shack itself is between New Dorms and Gooch/Dillard, in the back.
