These are nice shots , I guess but, hum, the rendering is "too much". I'm not sure It serves your images well... Is there some reason you're trying to make'em look "old"?

Thanks, I guess. I think I chose the color cast for two reasons. One was from an idea I had to separate a group of photos I had taken from various countries by color. The other reason came from how I use to print them before I went digital. These are b/w 35mm from a Cannon AE1 taken in 2001. The prints I used to make were on a heavily textured paper (made by Luminos) that had a tan/sepia cast to it naturally.
Other than color, is there something specific you mean by "rendering"?

Oh, those are shots taken from a b/w film? I was wondering whether it was a curious work of a digital file or a film-scan'. Thus, I may understand why you choosed to do this, even I don't really like the way you look for the paper texture. But I'm sure it's more convincing on a paper print.

yeah, I have a tuff time with the scanning on b/w film. When I shot film, at least half of it was b/w. Now when I scan then pic in, they have all kinds of weird color issues. Very red or cyan. This was an attempt to do something constructive to overcome that. I still like the way it turned out, but I appreciate the input. I miss the darkroom sometimes.
Well, yes: I was thinking of the texture. Plus the blown highlights. I'm not sure, what to think.
what texture do you see? I didn't texturize the image at all, or overlay a pattern on it. The highlights are, obviously, part of the over all color cast. I didn't doctor these at all other than one, blanket, color shift.

I'm not a specialist about scanning so I cannot really help, but know scanning a print (you would have done in a darkroom) is always better. In most cases, at least.

Well, please remember I'm french so my words may sometimes be not that correct. By "texture", I mean... well, I can't explain. I'll try to catch the good word later !

Scanning a print better than scanning the negative? Hmmmm
I'll need some back up on that. I've always operated under the premise that each step beyond the negative is more artifact and degradation. I'd love to see or hear about anything to the contrary of that. Scanning prints would be an interesting alternative solution to the color issue.

Being somewhat fluent in more than one language is better than most people can boast over here. I'm sure a small struggle with vocabulary can be excused.
By the way, I checked out your site. What do you shoot on? What's your main subject matter?

Well, it's definitely more than that, especially in black & white.
Unless you have a real scanner dedicated to film and etc., and unless you really know how to use it, it's often better to have a print, if you're making a book, for example.

Shoot on? you mean: what's my gear?
My main subject, I don't know what it is, already
People especially so let's say: portraits. I'm really trying to get more and more assignments with the french press about portraits but I mainly shooting other kind of stuffs.
I'm quite interested into African cinema, too: I'm currently working on it. Here is a résumé in English. Some other pages are translated in English on my website.

Learn french and you'll know more
What cameras do you use?
It depends: Nikon (D200, FM, F5) or Hasselblad 500 c/m
