Nicely done.

I tested some new films the other day, Ektar 100 being one of them.

Now that's really good - I like the range of light and brooding atmosphere.

@Steve and tgtaylor

Thanks. Its easy to get a decent image when you have great color and overcast sky.

Great location for those in the midwest.

My 8X10 negatives are scanned with either an Epson 750 and, or with a drum scanner, and where the drum scanner is put into service when the Epson fails to extract the shadow detail information properly from a keeper negative. I develop a digital negative from that file to produce a print, going forward...

I have three digital output processes that I use and that I trust, where the first happens to be a digital proof from an Epson printer that is in continuous service locally, and incorporates "ImagePrint" as the RIP. The second process is a Jon Cone print where Jon provided me with a fabulous curve to fit my images perfectly, and lastly through Bob Carnie at Elevator Digital, where we are now working together to produce a silver based image through his digital enlarger. The printed images are "what I see is what I get" when compared against my calibrated monitor. They process my digital negative file with great care, fabulous expertise, and without interruption.

As a side note, my darkroom disappeared a few years ago, once I made a decision to remove my family and myself from that environment with specific intent to remove my son from the minor effects it caused with his sensitive skin condition, and because I happen to have very limited ventilated space within my home.

Thank you for your explanation, Jim.

I keep doing my photos on my darkroom but I don't know if I'm gonna doing that for much more time long. It's been hard to find affordable fiberbase paper and the power supplies on my Durst 5x7 and 6x9 enlargers are very old and sometimes they "sleep". I bought a second Durst 138S (the other one is a 139G with dichroic head) with condenser head wich is power supply free, but there will be hard to find lamps for it in a short future. It's getting hard, to enlarge photos, nowadays...

Thanks David. So far I'm liking Ektar better with the slower shooting styles of MF and LF than what I was getting with 35mm.
