Is there a way for me to post my black and white photos online?
To be more specific, these photos are 35mm film. These black and white photos are taken by a 35mm film camera or by a NIKON N45 film camera. I would really like to know if there's a way I can post them in online. Also, if i can, will the quality of these photos will change, or still be the same thing? I need some photography gurus out there. Not some people who just Google or Bing it right now. I hate it. Answer it As soon as possible.
I was planning this to post it on my upcoming new website to post my photos. I hope you guys can tell me the answers. Thanks!
Added (1). Please give me more details how to do it.
You can either scan your prints or negatives.
Which you do will have more to do with the equipment you have
Here are two I have posted.
* One is a scanned print made from two sandwiched 4x5 inch litho negatives
* The other is a digital RGB converted to black and white.html? Sort=3&o=6.html? Sort=3&o=0
As you can see, you have many options
I shoot B&W film & scan my negatives to convert them to digital images - they can then be uploaded.
You can either send them off to a photolab to get scanned or if you have a lot to do it may be worth investing in a film scanner. Epson V500 or V700 are excellent scanners.
Yes the quality should be as good as the negative, if you have it scanned on a decent machine.
This is my film set - a mix of 35mm and 120 (medium format) stuff;
If you have prints, a drum scanner or a flat bed scanner will copy them as digital files (jpeg.) Drum scanners are large, suitable for high volume scanning, but not suitable for home use, but they are high quality - probably higher than you need, since these are for the web. A drum scan is worth considering if you have a large number of prints to scan - you would take your prints to a pro for this service - check your local service directory for this.
If you have fewer than 100 prints, a flat bed scanner is fine. Flat bed scanners are very cheap - a simple one can be plugged into your computer for less than $50, but realistically, you should be looking for something that can produce hi-res files - a photo copier from Canon or Epson for about $100 from any office supply store is excellent. If you do not want to buy a scanner, it should be possible to take the photos to a photo store of similar and have them do it. It depends on how many you have to process.
If you have the negatives, then a negative/slide scanner is the way to go. Cheaper than a flat bed (some flat bed photo copiers have a slide and negative scanner built in; handy if you have negs and prints). Like a flatbed, it plugs into your computer, typically through a USB port.
In either case, the process is similar: place the negative/print in the scanner, press the scan button or open a program like Photoshop (anything that can work with images) and from the File Menu choose acquire (in some programs the option in in the Import section of the menu). You may have to tell the program which scanner to use before the first import.
Set the import file type in the scanner set up to be jpeg, no compression and highest quality. This will give an image file with the least loss of quality compared with your original print.
On your web page, the picture will be displayed at 72 dpi - a much lower resolution than he print, but it should look just as good… When you preview the photo before you upload it, be sure to get rid of any specks (like dust spots or scratches on the negative or print when you scanned it) or other artifacts from the conversion. Tweak the contrast and black levels to give your photo the look you want and upload - if you need to reduce the image size before you upload, keep the hi-res version; you may need it to make prints etc.
