Flowers for our General Vo Nguyen Giap, who has passed away a few hours ago.



Rest in peace, General.

I find it frustrating using my view camera to photograph individual flowers. The problem is that if you get close enough, you have very little depth of field at feasible apertures. (If you stop down too far, subject motion is going to be a problem at the required exposure time.) I got myself a full frame 35 mm digital SLR, and I can do just as well or better with it as I can with my view camera for subjects of this kind.

A fresh revision of an older photo.

Ken, do you revisit an older photo such as this by rescanning the negative or simply reworking the older scan? My guess is the former, because I find myself looking at scans from even two years ago and thinking, "Wow. I could do much better now."

Most of the time I go back to the negative and scan it again from scratch.

I love this film. I've only shot a few sheets of Portra 160, but after years of shooting transparency films, I gotta say that I really like the color palette and smooth tonality of it. This is a straight scan converted with CF System's Color Perfect with a only slight touch of red added to ease up on the cyan prior to scanning.
