[Tech1] Lifetime photo collections

[patheigham]

Barry’s posting reminded me of an earlier hobby – I used to do my own home processing of reversal film – a photoflood through the transparent film loading spirals.
Working on ‘Fiddler’ the DoP was interested that I was using a stereo stills camera, and suggested that I got a short end off the camera boys to load into empty 35mm cassettes, then after exposure give it to them to attach to a roll of film sent back to the UK for processing by Technicolor. Thus when the rushes came back, there was a positive print. I think the stock was Eastmancolor negative. Apparently this is a well known procedure as DoP’s will try some test shots with a Leica, using the stock for the main shoot. Ossie Morris (the DoP in this case) was happy to send in my shots under his name, bless him!

I’m not very disciplined but one thing I promised myself to do during solitary confinement was to scan all my slides, colour & b&w negatives.  I bought an Epson V550 Photo scanner and am scanning at 800dpi. One very noticeable thing I’ve discovered is the wide variation of film quality and processing, not to mention the numbering being reversed on some films and the negs cut (mainly by Bonusprint) into fours and not six as I did on my home processed b&w films.
