Been there at 5am in -15 degrees and wind to get some good morning shots... Too bad they were on a Mamiya 7 so I can't show ya ;)

An old negative that just came back from processing. Taken during the monsoon season in Grand Canyon and it was quite the adventure to get there, dodging lightning and slipping in mud.
Chamonix 4x5 and Kodak Ektar, quickly scanned and processed. The colors and contrast might not be the best, I really need to calibrate my monitor :)

Nice work. Great depth.
The colors miss a little of the Ektar pop, but that's easily corrected. It could use a little more red, but it might be just a profile problem.

I agree about the depth, was tempted to ask the exposure settings and movements.

I think the lack of color is more about the light then anything else, and I think for this particular shot it's not too bad I actually agree with the exposure level, or rather it agrees with me. Otherwise the sky in the background would be all blown out.

As far as the colortone, I'm not sure if that's the film itself, as it tends to shift the blue in lower exposure levels anyway, or the scan itself. But honestly I think it's good how it is.

I agree that it looks like underexposed Ektar. On the other hand, I think it works for that image.

Thanks for your comments, all. I appreciate your input. I guess I really need to invest in a calibration device. Looking at the picture from work, it seems more blue/purple, a bit darker and less saturated then what I had on screen. I'm kind of color managment illiterate and I think i should spend some time learning about this
