ISO should be at the lowest point to reduce noise.
Shutter speed is less important, 1/10 or 1/20 will work. Aperture is very important it must be set to about f.7.1. I used Canon 430 EX set at half power at the distance of about 12 inches. You need to get the slightly overexposed photo paper. Using a flash, you need to experiment to get the settings right. You need to place the lightsource the glass and direct it to the film. While placing them, try to be careful and not scratch or damage the film.Īt this stage, you can use a remote-controlled wireless flash or a bright desk lamp. You need something to hold the film down, two film containers will do. Put it onto the glass under the camera and then place the film onto the paper. You don’t need a piece larger than 4" x 6". Take a piece of clean photo paper without any text. Don’t go too far, otherwise, your tripod will be shaky and might fall over! This way the camera will be right above the glass. The best way is to make the back leg of the tripod longer than the front two. The most important part of the tripod set-up is trying to get the camera matrix as parallel to the surface of the glass as possible. Regardless of its type, try to fill the field of view of the lens with the film frame as much as possible. The lens you use will define how close to the glass you can shoot. It can be stacks of books or a couple of boxes. Now you only need something to support it. Just remove the back and the picture inside and you will get a piece of glass with a frame. I had a glass coffee table but you can use a photo frame instead. Prepare the glass surface you will use for shooting.
#Photojob negative of image software#
Photoshop or similar photo editing software.A macro lens will be a plus but isn’t crucial.A wireless flash or a powerful desk lamp.A sheet of glossy photo paper without text on the backside.A piece of glass on some sort of supports (a glass coffee table, glass from a photo frame supported by two books or boxes on each side, etc.).However, this is a fantastic idea and a great way to turn negatives to photos at home. But I need to add a disclaimer first: this method won’t give the same results as a professional photo scanner will. The tutorial above will show you how you can “scan” your film with the help of a DSLR camera.
