thanks! yeah, im fortunate to have a good job that allows me to do the whole process of analog photography myself. I develop at home, too, to save some money. plus it allows me to have full control over everything.

but now, Im going back looking at my most recent roll, and im thinking to myself...these are kind of dull. even this scan i posted here... im not sure, something is off about it. so ive gone back and looked at the histogram and my graphs arent pushing all the way to the right. I originally had wanted to retain some contrast, but im thinking its just making my images a little duller. so ive just increased the dmax value on most of the roll, which essentially sets the white point... im thinking this looks a bit better ... anyways, as you can see the tradeoff of doing things manually makes this a bit of a never ending process....

(i also updated my cherry blossom post, if you're interested)
