allie...i love these... its so difficult to photograph the snow... because of the contrast... are you completely closed when taking this?

Calero, I am probably not that familiar with what would be required for photographing snow with a "normal" camera, but with the pinhole, this was a 45 second exposure. Typically a cloudy day like this would be 2 minutes, but with the snow bouncing the light around so much it was a lot shorter. Is this what you mean? Sorry I am not versed...

allie...thats what I mean...:) i should know that you are using pin hole... i guess i just want my snow photographs to look as good as yours!

caleros right dont let this thread die!
i just got back 5 rolls of mf from the shop, and over the last few weeks ive rescanned all of my mf work from 2006 forward. i plan on shooting much more in '09, i love the outlet that shooting provides.
this is a shot of an ex's bedroom window, kind of weird looking at it 3 months after we broke up, but whatever she gave good _____. so it was worth it hahahah.

i have my films developed and scanned at a small shop, they have a ten year old professional scanner that, though the maximum resolutions are really too low for decent printing, delivers results which I can only get with a 2500 dollar coolscan 9000 ED :(

How do you get the pics in digital format. Do you have them developed, develop yourself and then scan them or have a shop develop them and scan them? I've just started messing with medium format and already have 15 rolls waiting to be shown. Just wondering how you do it?

Ruffian—
Im using an Epson V500. Its a great scanner, Id recommend anything Epson or Canon flatbed. Flatbed scanners do a great job for web and small print jobs with medium format, they suck for 35mm. Whats your price range? If you can afford a V-series Epson, Id so go for it, I haven't looked back.

Hi, I just got a Yashica 124, and I've only put a few rolls through it, but haven't developed anything yet. I have used digital for years, and I just bought a med format because I am exited about film, and frankly, was getting bored with digital anyway. I love the organic quality to film. We will see how my first rolls go. So far I have been using Kodak T-Max 400, and Ilford 3200, which I am shooting at 1600. I also have some Velvia 50, but it isn't quite as easy to use for casual shooting in gloomy Seattle.
I was wondering, is there is a good site that explains the pros and cons of each type of film? I'd like to know more about their different characteristics.
