Amsterdam Sail 2025 on film

[u/aerokhin]

Apologies for yet another Sail post, but I just got my scans back and wanted to share my experience

[u/earthfase]

That's awesome. Can I ask what you did with post-processing? Highlights look blown out, which should not happen this way on film..

[u/aerokhin → u/earthfase]

Yeah, I did try to recover highlights in post and bring back colours a bit. The sun was pretty harsh and I believe I might have overexposed those.

Not sure though, I am not very experienced with film yet. All these are shot on the same roll of Kodak Gold 200.

[u/earthfase → u/aerokhin]

You just went a little too far on both.

[u/aerokhin → u/earthfase]

I might have - it seems to add a lot of reddish colour to them. Still have the original scans though, will try to be more careful with the processing.

[u/Manus_R → u/earthfase]

Came here to say that.

[u/PeegsKeebsAndLeaves]

Nice pics. Where do you get your film processed?

[u/aerokhin → u/PeegsKeebsAndLeaves]

Thanks, had these developed and scanned at Analogue Amsterdam. But I’d like to try another lab next time. I don’t think Kodak gold is supposed to be that grainy ..

[u/PeegsKeebsAndLeaves → u/aerokhin]

I have had nice develop/scans from Key Color

[u/aerokhin → u/PeegsKeebsAndLeaves]

Would you recommend them?

[u/PeegsKeebsAndLeaves → u/aerokhin]

I would. They’re pretty expensive for hi res scans but I guess everywhere is nowadays

[u/Flapappel]

This is the last sail post...! If I see but one more sail post come in, im gonna keelhaul the poster!!

[u/Waitingroom → u/Flapappel]

Yes let's please go back to posts from rich expats asking general questions about what to do about neighbours playing music.

That's way better content to let through than beautiful pictures of this very special event that almost everyone in the city enjoyed and has warm memories of.

[u/Flapappel → u/Waitingroom]

If there are 10 posts a day about rich expats complaining about music, let me know.

Also, feel free to add more positive content yourself. No one is stopping you

[u/Eagle_eye_Online → u/Flapappel]

threating to keelhaul people who just post a nice picture is super positive.

[u/Flapappel → u/Eagle_eye_Online]

Waarvan akte

[u/Eagle_eye_Online → u/Flapappel]

It's a once in a 5 year event, maybe you shouldn't threaten people with death who didn't even do anything wrong.

*edit* the downvotes say that threating to keelhaul (murder) people in this sub is okay.

[u/JasoNMas73R → u/Eagle_eye_Online]

It's not that serious bro

[u/Eagle_eye_Online → u/JasoNMas73R]

Are you sure, let's wait and see if it's okay, then I'll gladly do that too every day.

[u/Flapappel → u/Eagle_eye_Online]

Is walk the plank ok?

[u/kremples → u/Eagle_eye_Online]

You’re chronically online get a life neckbeard 😂😂😂😭

[u/Eagle_eye_Online → u/kremples]

The challenge nowadays is take a photo where no smartphones are visible...

[u/aerokhin → u/estic_nito]

I just accepted it. And I kinda like how you can see the sails on the screen of a smartphone in the first photo.

Who knows, maybe in ten years will be all wearing smart glasses or something. Smartphones on old pictures would become interesting then.

Love the progression of these Sail posts.

• During the event we got daily phone photo sets.

• Then the Lightroom crowd found time for the touchups and started posting the week after.

• Now it’s the film crowd’s turn to post after getting their stuff back from the lab.

Ik heb Sail overdose. Effe 5 jaar bijkomen nu...

[u/Lost-Air1265]

What going on with the color red in your photos?

[u/aerokhin → u/Lost-Air1265]

I pushed saturation a bit for the scans and red popped out more than other colours. I kinda liked the mood and kept it.

The colours are not in any means accurate. Not sure if gold adds reds that much.

[u/Traditional_Count_21]

Imagine how much we could enjoy without smartphones and let the hobbyist and pro's takenthe pictures

[u/aerokhin → u/[deleted]]

Best is a relative term. These are the ones I liked for their vibes and decided to share.
