If you think scanning is expensive take the total cost of the scanning your film and divide it by the cost to fill a fuel tank. It's $140 a tank where I live and I don't blink about that price when...

You can see the shifted area from the poor scan mentioned above on the top line of the dune. I thought these images would be bigger and I can't replace them.

Having spent a lot of time on this forum years ago and having looked at the many options to get film scanned Tim Parkin's scanning service was always at the top of the
reviews here for scanning...

Thanks to the all the people on this forum that recommended Tim Parkin Scanning in the UK over the years. https://www.drumscanning.co.uk/author/tim-parkin/

I just can't believe how you talk out your A$$ about a place that you have never been to.

Thanks once again for sharing you fantasy about what the Wave is. You have never been there and it is not 60 feet across. At this point I could really care less about
how you continue to project...

Drew,

I just can't believe that you would chime in and diss an area that you have absolutely no idea about.

You can spew all the negativity that you want but when it turns out that you are...

"One could hypothetically get "abstract" subject of layered rock like that"

Actually you don't need to explain anything. It's obvious to me how much you saw of the area when you were there.

Have you been to the Wave?, and if so did you scout the whole area? I'll admit I over reacted but in retrospect I have to question whether you have even been there, and if so I would like to find out...

I must admit that there were indeed signs of foot traffic on the sandstone, and I did see other people there! OMG and come to think of it there is only one shot that is possible at the Wave and...

I was there on Thanksgiving day. A woman I met hiking at another park gave me a permit - I just couldn't believe it! She had been trying to get a permit online for 3 years. I just couldn't believe I...

Another BIG concern about tripod bags is color coordination! Sometimes the colors just clash with my hiking ensemble!

But, I certainly wouldn't want scratch marks on my tripod from days like the...

If I am carrying the tripod short distances I will carry it over my shoulder.

I use the bag set up for very long hikes where some of the hiking is through thick underbrush. Many hikes are not on...

There are questions about tripods in another thread so here is a cheap tripod bag FWIW.

This idea for a tripod bag was given to me by one of the members here a while ago. I just added the small...

It seems as though creating a template with numbers along the edges would help the stitching software along the sides.

I wonder if very, very small letters or markers had to be placed on the film...

If we were wanting to build something anyway just to try and do better than an Epson V700 / 750 what would you recommend for a set up using a DSLR?

As compared to this which is bulky and overkill IMHO.

I do almost exactly the same thing except I select a point in the image positioned on or near one of the grid lines so I can see if the focus shifts at all when I tighten things up.
