SCANNING AND METADATA FOR FILM PHOTOGRAPHY



Scanning is essential in analog photography for digitizing your images and sharing them online. In this video I will discuss my secrets and techniques for scanning negatives as well as how I work with metadata on images that are not digitally native.

I’ve done several detailed videos on scanning in the past as well – my technique really has not changed much so if there’s more detail you’d like to get, feel free to refer to the following:

  2. Great vids as usual. Re the F5 and Metadata35…with the nikon MF-28 data back attached and the clock set correctly, the F5 will also record the timestamp each image was shot. Then using Metdata35 it will recall that timestamp and embed that into the image metadata rather than the time and date you pulled the data from the camera.

    Further, once you have the timestamp each image was taken stored inside the tiff file, you can then match this to the timestamp of any GPS data you might have recorded on a handheld GPS unit at the time you shot image….assuming the clock in the GPS is set to the same time as the clock in the MF-28 🙂 I use a Garmin Epix strapped to my wrist for this.

    Its a manual process to add the GPS data into the file using say, Lightroom, but at least you end up with a file with a decent set of metadata that has time/date/camera settings along with a mapable set of gps coordinates. But we're shooting film, so where's the rush, eh ?😎

  12. Hi Ted, I noticed your scan software is outdated. I use Epson Perfection 4990 Photo scanner which came with a 4.0 Dmax as oppose to 3.8 on the model you currently have, and see no reason to upgrade at all, mainly because Epson provides tons of support (drivers and manuals repairs etc.) and secondly because I love the SilverFast Ai Studio 8 software that comes with it (I upgraded to this pro edition immediately), there is absolutely nothing better. Just make sure you have the latest and greatest and you'll be fine carrying on as you've always done.

  13. The idea and execution of Meta35 is fantastic, but the HUGE caveat being that it only really support a select few very late model 35mm film cameras. I understand they're working toward more generalized support which I would hugely enjoy. As it is now I don't have nor plan to have any cameras the software supports. Thought it was an important note to point out.

  23. Hi Ted!

    I lately started with some film photography alongside my digital camera.
    I use lightroom for workflow and editing and i really love it!

    the problem is that i would like to add camera information (like: film type, camera name, basic shooting information) in the metadata of the scanned film.
    I've understood that there is a tool called Exiftool (by Phil Harvey), but if i recall correctly is a standalone program.
    Is there a plug-in for lightroom that you are aware of?
    What did you do before this program?
    Have you any advice?

    GREAT SHOW BTW!!!!
