MF (6x4.5 to 6x12) COLOR image sharing

[tgtaylor]

I have some fresh RA-4 chemistry on the way so pulled down a couple of negative boxes of color negatives to look at and decided to try my hand at scanning one, the above, which is my first time scanning a color negative (I scan the finished print - much easier that way for me). Unless I misplaced it, the Epson 3200 doesn't come with a dedicated 6x7 holder so I had to use the 6x9 slot immediately above the 4x5 slot and had to choose a middle negative from the 3 image strips to scan. Otherwise the strip would have protruded from the edge of the scanner and possibly scratching the film. The above image, chosen for its convenience, was taken several years ago at the Japanese Gardens in San Jose on Fuji Reala film during a Meetup group photo outing.

The human interest really makes the second photograph.

Lovely image. Excellent light!

How do you like the 45mm? I have one arriving in the mail today that came with a Pro TL. I'm debating whether or not I'm going to keep the 45mm or sell it for the 35mm.

Seeing your image reminded me of a very similar image I shot on Fuji slide with a Pentax K1000 from my campsite in Evolution Basin, Kings Canyon National Park around 2000:


Looks like we have the same "eye" for images.

I like the 45mm very much. The big glass does offer some challenges if you only have 75mm x 75mm filters. Best if you have 100mm x 100mm.

Nice shot. Similar idea and a good example of why I used the graduated filter to darken the sky and keep detail in the shadowed foreground.
