Huh? Underexposed? Going from 400 to 100 is a 2 stop overexposure. They looked great though. The negative will be very dens and thus your scans very dark. So the backlight compensation should be adjusted for that.

Thanks!

If you expose for ISO 100 instead of 400 it's 2 stops OVERexposure not UNDER.

[@JayMacroPhotos]

Thanks!

As a newb to film, I have a silly question: when you say, "2 stops OVERexposure", does this mean that the actual shot captured is "OVERexposed" 2 stops because the sensitivity of the film is 2 stops more sensitive to light, versus the camera setting of 100?

[@tomgagner7366]

The color cast may come from the over exposure or from the scanning. When you scan a negative you sometimes have to adjust the colors in the scanning software in order to get a neutral output. Perhaps the scan operator had a bad day...

JAY! Did you know Davy Crockett Used one of these Yashica cameras during the siege of the Alamo in 1836!? Using just one roll of Kodak Eastman 5222 black and white 35mm motion picture film he shot enough sprocket holes to stave off General Santa Anna and his army of 2000 men for THIRTEEN DAYS! Thank you so much for sharing! More people need to learn about the Yashica and its rich AMERICAN history of nearly 200 years. Learn more in my new youtube short "the untold history of the Yashica Mat 124G" Though he was a battle hardened bad ass, I don't think his frames would compare with yours. Sadly only a few negs have survived the passage of time, and the Smithsonian keeps them locked away from the public. His yashica also had a wood veneer finish on the front plate btw, but not the viewfinder. The smithsonian keeps that locked away too. I like the comparison personally! Subbed

I didn't know that, thanks for sharing!

I think the under exposure helped bring out the tones in the sky, even if the foreground elements are underexposed. I like 1 and 4 a lot. I like 1 because of the colors of the sky and I like how the foreground elements are silhouetted. I like 4 because of the colors and tones of the image. It has a warmer feel to it making it seem like its an older image. I also like the framing of the boat. Nice work!

[@JayMacroPhotos]

Thank you!

[@SomeUnremarkableGuy]

nice photos. when you took the film to your lab did you tell them that you overexposed the film?

[@JayMacroPhotos]

Thanks, no I didn’t tell them anything, is that what I should have done? I didn’t know you could do that.

[@SomeUnremarkableGuy]

@@JayMacroPhotos Not sure either. There is this technic called push and pull. In this case (shooting in the evening) you would push the film let's say by one stop which means you'll shoot like you have 800 iso film. And after you bring it to the lab, you told them to push by 1 stop development to copmensate for different ISO setting. Now I may not explained this well, never done this, as I said you better google it.

[@JayMacroPhotos]

Cool thanks

Lots of older lenses weren't designed with colour in mind so as a result it renders colours dull.

[@JayMacroPhotos]

Thanks for the feedback

[@rhoagland213]

I was surprised to see the photos came out so well! Were do you get your 120 developed? I have to go to Tampa, south of the bay has nothing for film developing. I have a Yashica 124 and a 124G. the G works perfectly but the shutter on the 124 is stuck. There is a guy in Orlando that refurbs Yashicas I just haven't got it to him yet.

[@JayMacroPhotos]

Thanks, I usually go to “colonial photo and hobby” near downtown orlando.

[@JayMacroPhotos]

I also heard good things about “kiwi camera service” in Orlando that fixes and cleans cameras.
