I dont have any idea about your problem but i like these. Beautifully composed!

Thought about dslr scanning your stuff?

Why would you ever give your film to a place that doesn't give your negatives back?

I'd have assumed the same thing desu

I guess you've looked for smaller businesses in your area that develop film? Beautiful shots btw

I think that's about it, the rest is random nudes of the gf

Damn I'm really kicking myself for fucking it up, but I still have another like 5 rolls from that time so I hope to do better next time

Anyone know places that do give you negatives?

>People still trusting labs to process their film in 2016
The only lab you can trust with your shit is one that uses a 135 processor, and you should only trust them to process your film.
Letting retarded monkeys have control over any part of the process is just laziness on your part.

>>2973190
I did look into it beforehand - not a single fucking place in a fairly large very "hippie" college town

I've been pretty emotionally fucked up the past couple of weeks and just did it on an impulse

and thanks

now I know

Fuck me for assuming it would be done right lol, I definitely would've spared no expense to have it done properly if I knew what the results would be

I know dick-all about film processing so that is my fault/laziness

>>2973167
bomp in hope of a real answer?

>>2973245
well shit I did find this place, it seems they're pros and return your negatives as well. Looks to be my best bet

https://dwaynesphoto.com/newsite2006/info-film-processing.html

I somehow remembered that I had another roll that I shot on this trip, The city photos are at the beginning of the one I posted, and there's more stuff from Crested Butte/of the gf somewhere in the rolls I have so that I'm glad to know

any constructive opinions?

thanks /p/, fucking useless

miller's, mpix, richard photo lab, indie film lab

miller's is apparently cheapest and good, but you have to register (don't actually need to be a pro)

>>2973391

and maybe blue moon camera for weirder stuff, optical printing

it's not porn when it's art right?

post tits

>>2973354
dwaynes is alright but it takes pretty long and ordering is an asspain

Your GF looks REALLY familiar. Her name Nicole?

Go back to Walgreens and tell them you want the name and number to their lab. Call them and tell them you want your negatives. I would assume too that I was getting negatives back if I sent in a roll of film.

>>2974766
This fuck them, they have to send them to a lab somewhere and say it's implied my property doesn't get thrown out too. Don't have to be an ass about it but I'd definitely inquire about it asap. Also as stated before the 35mm machine processors are fine to get dev'd at (noritsu koki's ect.) but the scans are almost always gonna be anus because well come on your paying 13$ and the person doing the scans batch colour corrects everything and that's basically it. Best bet is to look into a dedicated scanner or a dlsr set up. Dslr is finiky till you have a good set up, dedicated scanners are still pretty fucking nice to have tobehonest. Nice pics, love that they're nostalgic for you and that they might help you out a bit.

kek

>>2974761
it's not,
funny enough though she's back in town and we had dinner last night. fucking gorgeous girl but I think it was probably more of an "old friends" meeting rather than anything romantic, though we both seemed to have a great time and she wants to do it again

fucking hold me /p/als

>>2974766
shit man I'm sure the negatives went right in the fucking shredder the minute they were processed and scanned, I don't think I have any recourse at the shop

I confirmed were sent to Fujifilm though, might reach out just for the fuck of it

You know what fucking gets me the most? The fucking CD that's half the selling point of this shit is scans of the fucking prints, not even so far as the negs, disgusting waste of resources

fuckin shit man, the lady at the Walgreens was so nice too. I feel like best case scenario is they offer to give me a refund which I couldn't give a shit about

I'll try and narrow down the lab though, I just literally can't imagine a scenario where they keep the negatives - much less organize them and store them with the order info

fack

Indie Film Lab based in Alabama, they give negatives back and you can get anything scanned up to TIFF format, for a cost, of course. pic related from a heavily downsized scan from last year, here is the website

http://indiefilmlab.com/

They even give you a little postcard afterward thanking you for sending them in, southern gentility bonus points out the ass right thur

thanks, dang I'm freshly really pissed with myself for not doing the research and basically throwing away that roll

oh well that's life I guess

>>2974824
It's these times that you learn the most. It's fine, you'll never forget these pictures now and that's important too.

>>2974794
>>2974796
They've already recycled the roll for its silver content

>>2974824
Yeah I understand fampie. you definitely had good images too, so thought i'd chime in so you don't waste those other rolls.

If it's any consolation, that tomato plant pic is originally 20MP at 20MB file size, which is more than 35mm film (and certainly my shitty lens) can even render, so I'm confident in my shilling that your experience will be the polar opposite of shitty Walgreen's. Give em a try and post your images, this board needs them senpai

You live in Denver?

The only place in Denver that still develops slide film is The Slide Printer. They're on the corner of Broadway and Alameda.

They're a little expensive and the lady that usually works the counter is nice but kinda weird. But they do a really good job.

>>2974841
Self bump, I just realized op is shooting color negative. I use Englewood Camera and Photo for that. They're also really good.

>>2974829
4 sure, I'm glad I have the prints at least.
they're not as shitty and having physical keepsakes is always nice

>>2974837
I think I'll give them a try when I have the maney, as I mentioned there's another roll kicking around from this trip somewhere so I'm looking forward to that

>>2974841
I'm in Fort Collins now, but I'll look into it since I'm in the big shitty a few times a month so that might be convenient
>slide film
Dumb question, is that a catch-all term for 35mm developing, or do they do exclusively slide film as opposed to C-41 or whatever?

If anyone cares - here's a blogpost for ya:
Most of the photos were from a trip to this girl's parents' cabin in Crested Butte - apparently they call it "the last great Colorado ski town", and damn it's a wonderful place

So for like a week in the summer we went up there and spent that time in an ethereal bliss - no internet or TV - just the gorgeous landscape and each other

We fucked each others brains out, ran around town, went mountain biking, canoeing, hiking, etc. for days on end - it was just fucking beautiful.

I don't think I will ever again have a chance to feel so carefree and "there" if that makes sense. So yeah, easily one of the greatest times in my life, so that's why I was pretty fucking pissed at how it all turned out. When I picked up the photos, before opening them I went to a scenic location and got pretty high, then looking through them I couldn't help but cry tears of joy at the fact that this teenage innocence was captured on film, it's really inspired me to get back into photography

>>2974849
Slide film and color transparency are the same thing. It's called slide film because once upon a time people would put them in carousel projectors and show them on the wall. Slide film uses a chemical process called E6, which is a lot more difficult and uses more hazardous chemicals than C41.

The Slide Printer does all kinds of process, but their price point means that I'd only use them for E-6.

>Crested Butte
>"the last great Colorado ski town"

Whoever said that needs to off themselves m9. I just went to Breck last weekend and that shit's amazing. Breck, Copper, fuck even Telluride are all better slopes than Crested Butte.

>>2974853
ah alright, I think I knew that to some extent, and shit it's $9/roll for C-41 which really isn't horrible considering my volume, I think I might give them a shot

>Whoever said that needs to off themselves m9

fucking LOL, it was on the wikipedia page when I looked it up.
But seriously, having made the resort rounds - I think they're discussing it as a ski *town*, not the quality of the slopes.
I love skiing there, but there's certainly better slopes in CO.

But the atmosphere of the town couldn't be better, it's gone a little downhill in the past few years but it's a tiny town packed with amazing people and restaurants and things. There's an incredible sense of community and lots of local festivals and shit like that. You don't really get clued into it as a visitor, but being there in the off-season for extended periods of time is really amazing.

whereas Breck or Aspen are pretentious shitholes for white people to an extent, they're just too gentrified and commercialized to have that feel

>>2974853
The best ski town, not the best slopes. Breck is a fucking shit hole owned by Vail Resorts, along with Copper and half the other towns in Colorado. Crested Butte is by far the most chill town in CO and doesn't have the douchebag vibe that the other ski resorts have. I spend at least a month a year kicking around CB, especially in the summer and fall.

>>2975014
hell yeah dude, I'm glad someone else feels that way to the point of seeming like a samefag

for example: nobody locks their multi-thousand dollar mountain bikes around town ever, you walk up to a bar and there's $20,000 in bikes leaned against the building and nobody gives a shit

You can get around town on a bike and get to the trails without a car easily, then ride right off the trail into town and have a beer, grab a 'za at Mikeys and be on your merry way

the fucking chillest

>>2973229
So you gave Walmart a roll of your personal CP to develop? Hope you like being on lists.

>>2975368
kek I swear I didn't mean to say nudes I was drunk as fuck, well maybe I did as b8 ,i don't remember

but I went along with it to fuq with u guise, no CP unfortunately just pics of the grill
