Heres a project I need to go back to, shot at 800 ISO using FujiPro 400 film (you might need to click through for the set because I think DiS only shows the first shot of a Flickr set
and this is so true. Think Ill still be using my compact digital all the time just to make sure I have some useable pictures of my holiday and stuff

Once you get a bit more practiced youāll be fine - As mentioned above about shooting film at the wrong speed, that also means you get away with messing up your exposure and still having a usable photo - as long as your focussing is OK, and youāre in the right sort of ballpark youāll be fine.
This is very handy too: Sunny 16 rule - Wikipedia

It was done with the full knowledge and encouragement of the people who run the shop!
I stopped because I was ending up taking photos of people in coats record shopping, which didnāt look half as cool as I wanted. I think I need to wait for the first warm days of spring next year and kick it off again.

Iāll check that out later when Iām not on the work network (which blocks Wordpress)
Is this on the Olympus LT-1? What film did you use? And did you do any colour work afterwards?
I had my 5D out last night and got this (amongst some others which are up on Instagram):

Cheers Rich. I used to do a lot more, but donāt get the chance nearly so much. I think I must be getting old because there arenāt as many bands that I want to go and see these days. Or maybe Iāve just raised my standards 
The latter, plus you have to pick and choose now. Keep taking great pics.

What are you using to scan - Iāve got a Canoscan 9000F, using Silverfast software.
Iām going to have a roll to scan in soon - I picked up a replacement Canon 100-300 FD today (thanks eBay), so I want to run a roll through on my Canon AE-1 to make sure the lens is good.
I think a free version of Silverfast comes bundled, but I upgraded and got a paid for version, which has more things to tinker with, and I believe scans faster. I definitely do plenty of editing in photoshop too - sharpening, editing out cat hairs, straightening horizonsā¦

Aye, took a photo and messed around with the exposure. Quite happy with some of the firework photos I got

this is so cool
Ran through a roll of B/W on a trip to Spain recently - self developed and scanned.
Pretty happy with it!

Hmm - I just remembered that the new Canoscan 9000F (the mk II) doesnāt come with Silverfast, but some other free software, and Silverfast is generally agreed to be the best scanning software about, so it might be worth spending a few quid on even the cheapest version if thatās not the scanning software you got with the scanner.
