#120mediumformat — Public Fediverse posts

#C41 #FilmPhotography #AnalogPhotography #BelieveInFilm Well, maybe not - first scan just came through and I reversed it (need to take out dust specks, etc.) and it's...not bad. Actually pretty much the exposure I was looking for when I took these.

Still have the stupid purple line my scanner makes - I've cleaned it over and over again. Definitely saving up for an #Easy120.

Sometimes the smallest detail can help set the date of a slide. Here's a TV guide on the floor of the Coleman's living room.

And there's a TV cover art archive: https://www.tvguidemagazine.com/archive/suboffer/1970s/1971/19710410_c1.jpg.html

These are the McVeys. They are looking at slides (see the slide viewer on the table?) There's also a dog named McVey in this collection of medium format slides. Was the dog named after the couple or just an awkward coincidence? #SlideScanning #120MediumFormat #VintagePhotography #1968 #BattleCreek #Michigan

And last but not least #Kentmere400 #120MediumFormat pushed 2 stops. These were the best two shots of the 15 6x9 negatives I had. There were a few more that were slightly promising, but they were definitely a full tier below these.

5/5

1 #35mm roll #Kentmere400 pushed one stop, 2 #120MediumFormat rolls Kentmere 400 pushed two stops, and two 35mm rolls #Delta400 pushed two stops. All developed tonight in #XTOL.

Hope to be able to scan tomorrow after work…excited to see the results of my first #PushingFilm experiment.

Check out the fins on that car. I wish more of it were in the overall photograph. #SlideScanning #120MediumFormat #VintagePhotography

I'm here for this awkward Thanksgiving 1966 posed photo. #SlideScanning #VintagePhotography #120MediumFormat #1966 #BattleCreek #Michigan

I have managed to identify everyone except for the woman on the left.

After a good bunch of hours of cleaning up the scans, I have another ten to add meta data to tomorrow. That's the last step: A description, keywords, and a location. The metadata stage takes a lot of research but I'm about midway through the Battle Creek slides so I already know most of the people and locations shown here. #SlideScanning #120MediumFormat #VintagePhotography #BattleCreek #Michigan

Here's another satisfying color adjustment. #SlideScanning #120MediumFormat #VintagePhotography #ColorSlide #ColorCorrection

Before and after color correction of a slide:

The slide is of David R. Coleman smoking a cigarette around Christmas in 1959. #SlideScanning #120MediumFormat #ColorCorrection #VintagePhotography

Here's a distinctive house that I wish I knew it's location. It's labeled on the slide as "Thomasville, November 1966." Nothing else. The slides are part of a Battle Creek / Detroit Michigan collection. Do you recognize the house? Let me know.

Instant Spotlight Coffee - man-satisfying. (Product placement from 1960. #SlideScanning #120MediumFormat #VintagePhotography

Whistles Snack, an open box sitting by a window. It's a small detail but it does help date the photo. #SlideScanning #GeneralMills #VintagePhotography #120MediumFormat

Oh boy! A fondue pot. THE fondue pot. #SlideScanning #120MediumFormat #VintagePhotography #fondue #Michigan

A meta-slide. A slide of the Colemans watching a slide show at home. #SlideScanning #120MediumFormat #VintagePhotography #Michigan

Wait, there's another gray dog? Who is this dog? Why isn't this dog also helpfully labeled? People in 2024 want to know!!!

Dave, Susie and Nancy. January 1968. #VintagePhotography #Michigan #SlideScanning #120MediumFormat

July 1967: The grandkids play shuffleboard. #SlideScanning #120MediumFormat #VintagePhotography #Michigan

Christmas 1964 with the Colemans and Billeters. #SlideScanning #120MediumFormat #VintagePhotography #1964

Genetics for the win here. I know he's Reid Coleman. She's listed as Wertman. Looks like she's his daughter. If that's the case, I can look up a Coleman-Wertman wedding and figure out who she is. #SlideScanning #120MediumFormat #VintagePhotography #Michigan #BattleCreek

Marie Biletter, Who or what are you pointing at? #SlideScanning #120MediumFormat #VintagePhotography #Michigan #BattleCreek

Here's one where I know the dog's name but not the woman's. The dog is Susie and she features in a bunch of the slides. The slide itself is labeled McVey. That could refer to the woman (probably) or to the house (the McVey's house). I don't know yet. #SlideScanning #120MediumFormat #VintagePhotography #1963 #Michigan

More slide scanning gems. The woman in pink is Marie Billeter. The person is black might be a daughter. The one is the beige jacket might be a grand-daughter. The photo is from January 1963.

Eleanor Ferguson was a librarian in Michigan. This photo of her is from September 1962. #120MediumFormat #SlideScanning #librarian #VintagePhotography #Michigan

Two of the women who posed at the beach stand here before a farm, probably near Battle Creek. This slide dates to 1955. #SlideScanning #120MediumFormat #BattleCreek #Michigan #VintagePhotography

Is this woman the one who took the current batch of medium format slides I'm scanning? #SlideScanning #BattleCreek #Michigan #120MediumFormat #VintagePhotography #1965
