ONE YEAR OF 35MM FILM scanning film negatives at home

Great comparison... It never occurred to me I could save costs by scanning at home... but then again, the lab results are spectacular! I now wonder how much of a difference does a bad development job do.

what is your photograph machine mark?

Fascinating! I don't photograph with film myself but this is quite interesting!

Hey that is a really motivating one! 😎 Just started looking for scanners and also came to the epson 600 or 850 as well as some by Reflecta like the x33 but they usually limited to 35mm film.

I wonder: what resolution do you choose to get out of the scans that you liked - playing with the dpi? 😅

Love film 🎞 🤍🤏🏼

This might sound ignorant...you can obviously use this to turn film into video if you're shooting with a Super 8mm 814 Canon?

Thanks for some chill transparency

manual inversion is a really great technique!

Nice video. I just got more into developing/scanning myself and the whole process is a little overwhelming since I want to get scans that are true to the film look as I am trying to compare different film stocks. It was nice to see your full process. Liked/subscribed.

Thanks for the tip to invert the photo’s yourself, I just bought that same scanner and my scans turned out really different from some prints I have from the film, and I couldn’t get the colors quite right in Photoshop. I’m gonna try to set the settings to positive as well.

Love this super kool 🎉

Thanks so much for sharing! It refreshing to not have to listen to a white man with unlimited resources drone on and on.

Does anyone know if I can scan half used film

one day I would love to invest in scanning and developing my own film. I already spend so much money on the film rolls, $29.99 for 3 rolls, and I go to a Walgreens near me but to print one film roll is $20. I use my film cameras A LOT, so it adds up!

That was the most beautiful thing ive ever seen ive been holding on to rolls of film i was planning on bringing to developer but i wanna do this now

so before scanning, the film roll needs to be developed right? Do you do that yourself also?

I've also seen people taking photos of their negative with their dslr (maybe this is also an option vs scanning)

Love this. Definitely getting a scanner myself.

Get negative lab pro. It makes scanning color negatives way easier.

this is the best video I found on this topic, beautifully explained

Does the v600 pair with a MacBook Air?

Wow - this is a horribly time consuming process. I personally scan thousands of negatives and slides, and could never live with this level of work. I highly recommend going on to eBay and purchasing a Nikon Coolscan 5000 ED second hand, and then using VueScan software to drive it. You will get far better scans in a fraction of the time. If you are interested I will happily send you a few film scans of mine to give you a sense for it. The Nikon is pretty much fully automatic, once you drop in a strip of film, and will spit out really great looking image files, removing all dust and scratches. I also have the Epson V750, and have compared the quality to the Nikon - it's not even close. Particularly the sharpness.

I don’t understand it, why people use film cameras and go through all the process, spend so much money on film, when pixels are free and can be edited so quickly 🤷‍♂️

Probably a rooky question here, Epson V600 is the scanner, what is PhotoLab?

Hello, can we still use cut negatives on camera? Or we have to used all the reels and unwind it?

I can understand wanting to use film, and develop your own photos. But I do not understand why you would go through the hassle to color correct and edit film photos, isn’t the reason to use film over DLSR, the flawed analog nature?

Thank you for this!!! Is there a particular way to achieve the photo effects of how the Photo Lab scanned them? Or is that just the way they edit the photos? I just wonder how they keep it consistent and I really don’t like messing with it on my own because I’m so indecisive, lol!

<3

Your video was aesthetically pleasing to watch. Also, what camera do you use, which model is it?

❤️❤️ ❤️❤️

So could you just print these scanned photos yourself instead of developing them ?

Honestly with all the technology these days, I totally would have never thought to scan my negatives. I used to love taking photos with real film. I’ve been trying to get back to the basics and I think for photography you’ve just kickstarted me in the direction I’d like to go! Definitely my catalyst! 🧡
Thanks for sharing😘😘

Why do u keep your films in fridge

How can I purposefully get my photos like scan 1 ?

Hi there new here absolutely love your video!! I will go stalk your profile now since id love to know how you chose this printer <3333

What is it called when you want the picture with the frame scanned. Like not just the cut picture but the whole film from that specific picture scanned?

great video! straight to the point!

hey! i use the epson v600 too, but our menu’s look a little different. i recommend using professional mode if you can access that (i use a windows laptop so we might not have the same options) and the scanner should have come with a negative holder to make scanning easier. in professional mode you can also graphs to make sure you’re getting all the light valued which helps with editing later! i hope this helps a little

I've recently started shooting on film and your videos are inspiring me so much! I'm excited to get into scanning my own photos as well, but for right now I've been dropping my film off at a lab and getting prints back. I'm wondering if you have any suggestions/inspiration for what to do with the many prints that start to pile up? I've been trying to think of something more creative than maybe just putting them in an album or a box

Hi !! I really like this video ✨
I’m currently shooting medium format with my Pentax 645. What camera are you using ? Why are you putting your films in the refrigerator?

You saved my life! thank you

Thank you for sharing your talent and creative approach to this. So fun and educational watching your videos.

where did you get your scanner I see a bunch of these on amazon with price differences and I don't know which one to get

Great video! The only thing I would point out is that if your air blower doesn't have a dust filter inside you're basically just blasting air and dust on the scanner. There are many good option with filtration which should get rid of the problem

Developing black and white is super easy that’s how I dove into developing at home. Just get cinestill monobath and a developing tank takes like 5 minutes. Need a dark bag also or a dark bathroom

Edit; also negative lab pro is a plug-in through Lightroom so you can flip it with that then color correct with the sliders not flipped 🙏
