View attachment 2413323 On a photo walk earlier this morning to promote the newly released medium format version of Harman Phoenix color film. Shot with a Hasselblad 503cw on the newly released medium format Harman Phoenix metered at ASA 100.
this is really good color and contrast from this film. home scans are the way to go from what i’ve seen, which i know you do. i have some 35mm i still need to try.

This image is quite intriguing, and you'll notice it if you look beyond the Great Blue Heron. The photo is genuine with no AI modifications, and it's beyond me how anyone could have left that behind.

Makes you wonder. I once found a pair of old boots among some rocks high on an obscure climbing route on Mt. Rainier. I half expected to find a skeleton.

Indeed, that's exactly what I'm planning to do. For today's launch day photo walk, the local reseller and lab had us each shoot a roll, which they immediately processed and scanned, so it took less than an hour for us to see the results. I'd been planning beforehand to later do a scan at home myself and compare with the lab scans—from what they told us, for Phoenix they actually set up the scanner to scan the film as a positive, and then use an automated preset in Photoshop to invert the colors, which they say produces better results than scanning as a negative in the first place. After seeing the results though, I immediately bought another roll of 120 Phoenix, shot the entire roll in less than an hour, and took it back home to develop myself, since I also want to compare how my development process stacks up. I'll be leaving a post in the film photography thread tomorrow after I get my comparisons done tomorrow.

Oh, and I'd love to know your Caffenol recipe!
