Not happy with prints from Kodak T400CN
Hi, this is my first post to this group, so Hi everyone!
I've receantly started playing around with black and white, and as I'm travelling it's quite hard to get to a darkroom or a decent lab so I've been trying the C41 process films. The first lot I had developed in a 'pro' lab and was fairly happy with, but just got contact sheets so I could later on decide which to get printed. The second lot I had done in a normal lab and had prints done, and they were awful! There was no tonal variation, everything was either black, white or one shade of grey. I'm not really expreienced enough to tell from the negatives how they'd look printed properly. So basically, anyone got any ideas? I'm hopeing that it's just crap prints on cheap paper, and if they were done on B&W paper by someone who knew what they were doing they would look ok. Or maybe it's just my inexperience at choosing subjects (mainly landscape & buildings) and composing. Has anyone else had decent prints done from a lab or does getting them done properly make all the difference? Thanks in advance, Phil |
