Tag Archives: #Over exposed slide

Saving a Toasted Chrome

In April 2005, I made a bunch of photos on Dublin’s recently opened LUAS tram network.

I loaded Fuji Sensia II (ISO 100) into my Contax G2 rangefinder. Although I exposed the photos using my normal formula, the roll was returned to me uniformly over processed. This resulted in substantially lighter slides than I’d expected.

Despite this problem, there was relatively little data lost. I scanned some of the slides the other day. I was easily able to restore this image by making some basic corrections to overall exposure, highlight and shadow detail, plus minor color corrections. Both the original over-processed chrome (too light) and the corrected version should appear below.
