Discover of the day

Today I thought I want to try the film that I bought, which is Ferrania Solaris 100. Then I open it, with full of excitement. But when I see it, WHAT!!!! A Lomo 100 film????!!!!

Now I know that Solaris 100 and Lomo 100 are the same film. But I bought Solaris 100 with higher price. So next time, just buy the Lomo 100. Save your money.

Ferrania Solaris 100 = Lomography Color Negative 100

How about Solaris 400 and 800?? I think would be the same too.

Discover of the day, and consider as shock of the day.

Yeah New FILM!

Look so familiar

WHAT!!?

Shot from Natura Classica

Finally I got the pictures back from lab. I use lab-scanned this time. Just want to view it quickly, if not, maybe will take long long time.

Fuji Natura Classica, Lomography ISO 800, lab-scanned

Loaded with Lomography Color Negative ISO 800, for sure, I used this because I want to test about the NP (Natural Photo) mode. Only ISO 800 or above can turn on the NP mode.

The situation in the photo, is dull day, no sunshine, cloudy, and dull dull day. NP mode switched on.

Color is great, I love this kind of color. For sure, ISO 800 film won't give you saturated color, it only gives you soft color, which very nice for portrait.

Fuji Natura Classica's focus is sharp, I just can't believe how fast and how accurate the Natura Classica can do. Look at the middle, half press, focused, re-position, full press, snapped. Just as simple as it. Will do more review later.

Difference between Lab Scan and Home Scan

How much the different between home scan and lab scan? Let's do some comparison.

Lab scan, yes, just send to lab and they done everything for you.

Home scan, I scan on my own. Using Canon Canoscan 5600F, using software Scangear provided by Canon, mostly using the default setting, only switch on the Unsharp Mask, Reduce Dust and Scratches, Backlight Correction, all set to Medium.

Tested film, Lomography Color Negative 100. 

Using LC-A+ RL.

Situation: Bright Sunshine, time before sunset.

Lab-scanned
Color look more nature, grass more to green-blue, nature skin tone,
white more correctly shown as white.

Home-scanned
Color more to yellow, grass more to green-yellow, yellow skin tone,
white area more to yellow.

But consider with Bright Sunlight, the home-scanned photo is more direct reflect with the situation, which is yellow in color that time. Probably the lab tweak with the White Balance.

Lab-scanned
Blue sky is not blue, white cloud has been washed out, more contrast green.

Home-scanned
Blue sky in blue, white cloud can be seen, green in yellow-green.

 Overall, is not much different between these 2 pictures. Lab-scanned picture, can see the face, which mean is more brighter compare to home-scanned. Blue is in light blue for lab-scanned.

Obviously, the difference between lab and home scan, is about the white balance. ScanGear do not have white balance option, maybe, I don't know where is the option.

Will do more comparison in the future.
