RA4 printed through a roller transport with Kodak chemicals using a Schneider Componon-S. It was a quick proof with very little colour balancing. No masking (pin registration system is on it's way). I had about 60 minutes to get the roller transport to temperature and bang out a couple proofs before it was clean up time. Never enough time!
Same image scanned with the V700. For some reason I have a heck of a time colour balancing film scans. I can balance a print in the darkroom quicker and with better success than what I get in photoshop. The above's with EpsonScan; I haven't tried this negative with VueScan yet.
I used a graduated filter turned on it's side to keep the fence from blowing out. It darkened the upper regions a bit in the sky area but overall it turned out pretty much as I had planned.
I'm waiting to back from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts to see whether I got a project grant or not. If I did I'll be making a whack-load of these for a body of work. If not I'll see if I can scrounge up the money myself and produce the body but without as much "pizaz" as originally planned.
