What's going wrong with this girl - in use with 120 Fuji Astia 100F

trendland · May 9, 2017

LOOK AT HER - I have used a 120 roll
Fujichrome 100F with a standard-development (original Fuji Hunt chemicals) the camera in use Nikon F80s .

What's about exposure and colors ?

Any ideas ?

There is nothing wrong with the girl; BUT apparently there is a chemical error.

Yes of cause you are right.
It realy seams to be so - that
EVERYTHING with her wasn't wrong -
with strong hope.

But the picture of her is meant. !!!

Overexposure?

Yes PE. you noticed the flashlight.
A very little shadow at her chin indicates
this.
But the flash was very low it can't light
the whole szene.

it is a thin slide, overexposed

Kino · May 9, 2017

Ah... wouldn't a thin slide be underexposed? Reversal?

Maybe under developed?

.. ...more as a thin slide Berri - PE. mentioned it before.

But why ? Any aditional guess?

Shot 2 series with P67 II same emulsion.EVERYTHING was fine.

The flashlight here was just of the Nikon
with additional Lee filter. It wasn't the only reason (very little camera flash)

She looks kinda green.....
Flu, maybe?

Leigh B · May 9, 2017

The whole photo is overexposed by at least one stop.

That accentuates her pale skin and light hair.

Yep, exposure on the ambient (look at the trees in the background) is correct but flash pushed the subject to overexposure.

Does the color balance shown in the scan match the color spectrum of the slide itself? It does look a bit green on my calibrated screen compared to my Astia slides shot in plain daylight, but it seems you shot this in overcast conditions which would change balance a bit.

Rick A · May 9, 2017

Underexposure would make the reversal look more saturated. Overexposure results in a thin slide. When you process, you remove the original exposure, and redevelop what remains. The more exposure, the image goes deeper into the emulsion, leaving less emulsion to carry the latent image, ergo thin slide. Please excuse my explanation, just trying to put into understandable terms.

Too much flash?

afriman · May 9, 2017

Just to be clear: did all the shots on the roll turn out like this? Were they all shot during the same session, with the same lighting and exposure?

The trees in the background are totally blown out.
That's why I said it was overexposed.

Sorry just have to load my cellphone.
Batteries where "low on fuel" - and I have to look for aditionally fotos to explain this.

Yes overexposure perhaps you know the
Nikon F80s a little.

And I should correct myself - this actual example-picture here wasn't a 120 Astia100F of cause - it was in 135-36.

But never mind I just mixed it up with the
P67 II series - it was actual the same emulsion Fujichrome Astia100F in 120
AND 135-36.

The flash again : its just the smal Nikon
semy-professional-camera build in flash.
With dimentions of a smal postal stamp.

Aditional I used Lee filters at this time in front on the Flash. These "frost" filters absorbed most of the light and give a little light diffusion.Therefore I doubled it.
So the flash should be a very little glow
in the eyes.
It can't light the whole scene.
AND yes the english lawn is brightly lit.
But this is seen to many meters behind.

Yes Leigh - you just noticed the whole scene as overexposed.Exeptional the
architecture may be - far behind.

To cover out what was with the same Astia100F in 120 - look at this here.
(I have corrected myself before - the first
picture I posted was not in 120 - it was actual the 135-36 Version of Astia100F. )

This here is Astia100F in 120

trendland · May 9, 2017

Upload failure again ?

Ok here it is - Jim Noel - as he posted
before - said :" There is nothing wrong
with the girl"

YES - Jim that might be correct !
This is quite obvious.

But here you have the typical objektive
look of Astia100F here in "true 120"

Total different colors ?

The overexposed picture may have the flash set to rear curtain, slow shutter, slow synchro or something weird so that the camera is exposing for ambient and adding flash. It looks like camera shake in the background (look at umbrellas) with the subject blown out but frozen by the flash.

Nothing wrong with the model...at all!

Not sure the busy backgrounds are helping the compositions.

Two different color light sources? Ambiant and the flash?

Probably so....electronic flash can be quite a high color temperature. Other than that, I'd go for over-exposure, not helped by the very flat light from the flash.
