Very pretty Lady. Nicely done! All the digital stitching well done. Provia is amazing film. 7.5 minutes 1st developer in my workflow gives me about a half stop speed boost. Again very well done!
 
@mschem Thanks, I was lucky I didn't overdevelop the shots too much, I was just trying to compensate for chemical re-use but I overcompensated. Chemicals on the 8th film are performing like fresh.
 
@loccdor,
It's a lovely end result, I am just wondering what your reasons were for the eleborate workflow with stitching together two images rather than shooting one MF shot and potentially cropping it to your desired aspect ratio? Is it just about some added resolution?
 
Not my photo so I could be wrong, but I think the work flow consists of taking one 6x6 negative with the film camera. And then taking two shots of the negative with the digital camera. The reason is because the shape of the digital sensor doesn’t match the shape of the square negative, and it wastes a lot of the sensor area to copy the negative in one shot. So what I do is take two overlapping shots with the digital camera and combine them. In effect it is as if the digital camera had square sensor of higher resolution. Make sense?
 
@Marco B @runswithsizzers Yes, one medium format shot, its digitization is two stitched shots. I could pick up more of its detail that way. It's honestly not possible to tell the difference at the 2048 size I posted it, but it's visible at full resolution.
