We're called as needed. I've been in twelve over the past five years -- most recently a servant in Rigoletto.

The thumbnail looks to have a blue-ish cool look which the full size picture has also but to a lesser extent, maybe because any cast is spread a little more thinly on the full size picture. What were the colours of the tee-shirts? Were they a grey-blue or is it that we simply have the old problem of getting a scan to replicate the true balance of the print and possibly made worse by the colour balance of my VDU.Certainly a very cool look from Fuji Superia which I have always found to be on the warm side of neutral Thanks

Thanks for your comments, pentaxuser. Always helpful to hear what others see and think. I did consider some alternate filtrations for this print. Since the dog is out front and receiving and reflecting more flash than anything else in the scene, I tended to color balance against him. The shirts are probably an athletic gray -- I don't remember. I guess I can ask. But correcting for a blue cast would have done funny things to the flesh and made the dog look yellow or red. As I said there was a mix of lighting, so it was a challenge. And for a casual snapshot, I didn't feel the need to overwork it. Still, I might fiddle with it some more...

Thanks for comments. I actually quite like the look and the flesh tones and white dog look accurate which are both areas where a cast shows up so maybe it's just the lighting. It reminds me a little of Agfa colour. I have always thought of Fuji as being the "Technicolor" of still film and often overly warm compared to Agfa's "De-luxe".Rambling a bit here but I watched "The Magnificent Seven" the other night and it looked "cooler and slightly blue-ish" compared to other cowboy films I had seen despite being shot in southern sunshine. I noted that it was shot in Kodak "De-luxe" which I preferred and I'll swear that "De-luxe" films always looked cooler and more natural.

Great film and a good observation. Your comments had me itching to tinker, so I took it back to the darkroom. The original print was made at 50M+50Y, filtration. I made this one with 45M+40Y filtration: http://www.apug.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=70647&d=1371941931

bvy, when I click on your link it says it is an invalid attachment so I can't see what the 45M+40Y print looks like. It has been a while since I did a colour print but certainly on my Durst 605 a reduction of 5M and 10Y on the dichroic head made quite a difference. I'd like to see it but the link isn't working

Wonder why it doesn't work. Let's try this instead: http://www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=1072900
