Dereliction II

On the left:

Camera: Nikon F90X with an Orange filter

Film: Kodak Professional 400TX BW film

Scanned by Atkins Photography Lab, Adelaide, Australia

 

On the right, the Nikon D850. Not as strict a comparison as the previous shots because the angle to the sun is different, but still instructive. The film holds up well I think.

 

One thing that you can do with shooting film negatives is to overexpose the shot. This brings out more detail in the shadows, but you don't blow out your highlights as in digital. Film is very tolerant (unless shooting slides) and this little trick helps to lift the shot as we see here. One stop is probably enough.
