[Leica] IMG: A new batch of film portraits

[Howard L Ritter Jr]

That’s a great set of lovely environmental portraits, Nathan, and I love the look of film. My son and I have decided to do some film photography and do the processing ourselves once my wife and I get back from our winter home.

I especially liked Lone, father/daughter, and the presenter.

First, I have begun to use the Topaz AI suite, and I have gone back through my 2022 film images and reprocessed them using those tools; there is definitely a learning curve, but I think that I am now getting the hang of it (mainly using the controls to dial back some of the effects, actually). The second development (no pun intended) is that I have started to develop my own film again (until recently, I was sending it off to a lab in Valencia)—I get better results by doing it myself and save money in the process, so it is definitely a win-win situation.
