How are these so crisp omg

I only have self scanned B&W, but I get better “scans” with my D750 and 55mm macro lens then I do from a professional lab. It just take me a bit more time. But that’s fine as I generally don’t like/keep 50% or more of the photos of the photos I take anyway.


Airican

Nikkor 55mm? I have one and a DSLR, just would need the rest of the set up. Where did you get your stand and light bed?


Performer-Smart

I have the 55mm f/2.8 AIS, extension tubes, and the Nikon over priced film scanning holders/ attachments. I’ve been using a flask with diffuser to scan but am thinking king about trying different methods.


RatoVelho

Hahaha thanks! They are lab scans btw, mostly scanned on Fujifilm Frontier I think 🤔 Shout out to Carmencita Film Lisboa, Sagrada Película and Máquinas de Outros Tempos for the excellent work with the development and scan!


Manciny

Desculpa a pergunta, mas esses sítios, que mencionaste, são lojas de revelação de rolos fotográficos? Ando à procura de alternativas em Lisboa, sem ser a Colorfoto, para revelar os meus rolos uma vez que não o consigo fazer em casa. Cumprimentos e boas entradas :)


RatoVelho

Tranquilo :) São sim! A Carmencita é em Lisboa, é uma das melhores em PT (pela minha experiência) mas tem o senão de ser cara… Na minha opinião vale bem a pena o investimento se souberes que os rolos vão ter boas fotografias. A Sagrada Película só funciona por correio, é em Aveiro e os resultados são excelentes também, com a vantagem de ser um bocado mais barata. Por último, a Máquinas de Outros Tempos é no Porto e tem a grande vantagem de ser a mais barata que conheço (5€/rolo) mas os resultados não são tão bons. Ponho lá rolos que sei que vai ter fotografias mais banais! Espero ter ajudado


Manciny

Altamente! Obrigado pela resposta. Vou experimentar a Carmencita, numa próxima revelação 🙂 E quando for ao Porto, darei um salto ao Máquinas. Btw, óptimas chapas que postaste! Keep it going!

They have to be lab scans


BarbedDildo

Sorry, new here. Lab scans as opposed to what?


g_rock97

You can scan your negatives at home using a flatbed scanner, dedicated film scanner, and/or a DIY digital camera scanning set up. I’m a bit sleep deprived so I’m not sure what the other commenter meant by “they have to be lab scans” since I don’t necessarily associate lab scans with superior quality unless it’s something like a drum scanner (that was my experience with lab scans, anyway). Hope this helps! Happy to expound on anything


Narntson

Love the newspaper reflection in the man’s eyes!


RatoVelho

Thank you so much, that’s one of the favorite shots I’ve ever taken!


Dubwyse_selectah805

Which lens did you use? I read you used 35mm and 50mm


thelastbrew

Seconded!


RatoVelho

Nikon Nikkor 35mm 2.0 D and 50mm 1.8 D


AWhimsicalBird

there'a a unique charm in each of them. I can see why it was hard to pick your top 10!!


RatoVelho

Thank you so much, I tried to showcase some variety so it wasn’t all from the same genre 😅


zinogino

2562 exposures, that’s like 71 rolls of film which is impressive. Love this set and the labs scans are dope!


RatoVelho

Why’d you have to make the math, now I’m counting how much I spent 😵‍💫 Honestly though, totally worth it for me! If I had shot them digitally I’d have taken like 20x as much pictures and would go mad trying to choose between the keepers, that’s one of the reasons I love shooting film. Gives me peace of mind after a shoot is done.


sleepyasfuck90

I love the 4th, 5th and the 6th photograph.


RatoVelho

Thanks, I really enjoy the ones from the ski trip as well!


DonkeyBrainsMD

7 hands down for me


RatoVelho

One of my favorite as well! Thanks


Tywele

Number 7 looks amazing!


RatoVelho

Thank you, the men was super photogenic so that’s half the work right there


2deep4u

Good shots


RatoVelho

Thank you!!


_nothingreal_

Really like the saturation and tonality; the summer sun photos stand out. Only criticism, because you’re asking, the white and distressed black backgrounds- vary the distressed black borders more, you have the same template for several of your photos in this grouping.


RatoVelho

Hahaha it’s actually not a template, it was scanned like this from the lab 😅


_nothingreal_

Well… TIL. ;)


FantasyArtLibrary

A well travelled year! Really great photos.


RatoVelho

Haha it really was, I feel very lucky! Always a hassle to go through airports but worth it in the end. Thank you!


misterhumpf

I love your street photography, but the tone and texture of the water in the first shot and how it contrasts with the model's skin is frankly gorgeous.


RatoVelho

Hahaha that’s actually my gf and it is a picture I really cherish! Thank you so much


PopTartWithNFrost

The last photo is amazing!!!! I gave you a follow on IG


RatoVelho

I love it too, really like the composition for some reason 😅


koolandkonfused

Where's the second picture from?


RatoVelho

Varanasi, India


experiment0s

Exceptional work! Outstanding!!!


RatoVelho

Thank you so much!


Cool-leather-suits

The variance of the colour treatment for your photos is impressive


RatoVelho

Thank you so much! I posted the labs on another comment, they’re all great


Jmikeyfraser

Lots of amazing shots here! 3 & 6 are the only two that didn’t have much “story”, but obviously that’s just my opinion. Regardless those are still incredible shots! 7 & 9 are my favorite pieces by far, I feel like they capture a lot more intangible details, especially 7, wonderful portrait. Fantastic work!


RatoVelho

I see what you’re saying… The 3rd one was actually a photoshoot for a brand so it’s quite a commercial picture but I liked the end result either way! Always love shooting portraits on ektar100 even though it’s not what it’s made for 😅 Thank you so much for the feedback, much appreciated!!
