double posting now i found the thread...
i've been shooting a lot of nighttime flash stuff, mostly b&w but my latest roll was cinestill 800t and i loved the colors i got. however it seems like i'm getting super grainy, washed out scans for the most part, where the blacks run more towards a very grainy blue and i'm losing contrast
i use a nikon fm with a sunpak 444d thrysistor flash unit, its sync speed is 1/60 so most shots are at 1/60 shutter speed and an f stop of 22, sometimes 5.6 depending on how close the subject is, ISO 800 for the cinestill. from what i can tell this is a common symptom of underexposure but i'm shooting at the recommended "optimal" settings everytime for the most part, any recommendations? is this just what flash is going to look like with this film? am i scanning poorly?
