Well I finally finished editing this drum Scan. On 4x5 Velvia 50 from Great Sand Dunes NP in September. I am surprised at the color casts I had in my original: http://www.flickr.com/photos/zboumee...57626457305442
I tried to keep the mountains more neutral as well as the sky. Glad I am finally done editing, it took forever. Just getting rid of the small bits of sand/dust took over 6 hours. I would have liked to keep the vignetting less noticeable in the lower right. Not sure if it's the scan or my processing but the drum scan has much better detail in the highlights of the sky.

I liked your original scan but Lenny's is fantastic. :)
Sweet Zaitz, the Lenny scan does justice to this chrome.

@all: amazing pics everyone
@zaitz: that is an exceptional picture! i think that is the kind of pics why we are all going out to those places! thank you for showing

Zaitz, I personally liked the sky being more blue as in your original. It played off of the blue shadows in the dunes better. But that is just my opinion. The tonality of the scan is certainly fantastic.
Finally figuring out how to get some tones out of the 1903 Eastman 8x10

Zaitz - Inspirational to say the least. Beautiful work, and a brilliant scan.
I am not sure if these 4x5 can be posted in this thread or not.
These were taken with a Chamonix Saber which does not have any movement.

Look great, Luc.
Holden, great tones. What ISO are you rating your Arista? And if you don't mind me asking, what is your process method (HC-110 dilution, time and temp, etc)? I have been struggling with Arista EDU 100, both 8X10 and 5X7. My latest attempt (I haven't processed them yet) was shot at ISO 25, HC-110 1:63..."H", I believe, and will be tray processed for 10 minutes @ 68 degrees. My negs have been thin and lack contrast. I am getting weary with testing.Quote:

Here is another one with the same setup. The electrical wires all over Japan drive me crazy.

Holden's got the tones all right. I have developed 8x10 edu 100 (foma) in hc110 dil.H 10 minutes, 70-72f, rocking the tray gently once a minute.
Pyrocat HD (normal 1:1:100) also develops the film very nicely, but PMK (as diluted normally) comes out pretty weak.
I shoot it at iso 50.
Thank you Frank!Quote:

Horrible flatbed scan.
This has a feeling of presence and grand scale, distance and atmosphere, strength and delicacy, power and silence... :)Quote:

Lbenac, Zaitz, great work!

Zaits, dperez-wonderful chromes!
Thanks Ken, I do like our woods and mountains :)Quote:

That is a nice use of selective focus. Gives a great mood too.Quote:

Dperez - The second wave is a sensational image. Composition is great, love the colours, strong leading lines, nice placement of a prop (i am assuming the stick was placed by you?) focus and overall sharpness is fantastic...
Thats a winner for sure
Unusual and very beautiful image. I usually am not a fan of selective focus, as it can feel subject-centric and contrived, but it feels very "right" to me here. Excellent.Quote:

Here's another one. Different lens. It's got shapes and lines, but I don't like how the grass rendered out of focus in the middle third of the image. This is with the trioplan, which usually does a great job with out of focus stuff. I guess I should have used the meniscus here too.

Room temp water, 1 minute of gentle agitation and for 4x5 57 minutes of stand and for 8x10 35 minutes of stand. The 8x10 seems much more sensitized in development. Key to this is being sure that your HC110 is mixed thoroughly before the film hits it. Good luck!Quote:

I misspoke in my earlier post, I am shooting this @25 just like you are and doing an N -2 development in HC 110 at 1+200 in stand. for the 4x5 its 1 minute agitation plus 57 minutes stand and for the 8x10 its 1 minute agitation plus 35 minutes stand. cheers!Quote:

Your BW scans look better.
