"Scanning" Film Using A DSLR

in filmphotography •  7 years ago 

Since I started developing my own film, I've been stuck without a cost effective way to digitize my photos....until now. I've read up on using a DSLR to "scan" film so I decided to try it out tonight. I can see that the tablet "lightbox" created some serious issues with the pixels showing through, creating that almost linen like texture. I think I'll be attempting a shoe box with a flash tomorrow to see if that alleviates the issue.

        Thank you. I looked at scanners but it was cost and space prohibitive. Trying to make it work with what I already have and it seems like a viable option. From what I’ve read, people are using it quite successfully. I still send my color film to a lab and get scans, but I wanted to learn to develop so I do my own black and white. #filmsnotdead #diyfilmphotography

                lovely shot indeed. if the shoe box flash thing doesnt work out I've used a lightbox lighttable, the kind for photos or the kind that artists use. they're pretty cheap these days on the ebay and work well.
