Very nice tonality in that image. I like!! I'm sure that -blue filter had much to do about that.

Did you pull up the shadows on the computer?

Thanks. Foma 200 has been my go-to film (though I am still learning what I like). It is a bit grainy and there are some small imperfections sometimes, but it is cheap and I love the long flat curve.

I actually added some contrast. When scanning, I adjust the historogram to get the full information of the negative. I set the contrast curve to linear, then scan.

This gives a full information scan (as much information as the 750 can get anyway), though somewhat flat looking. I then use Photoshop to adjust the curves to get the image to my liking, then sometimes add sepia to the blacks/greys sometimes.

The pictures always look better on my photoshop screen than they do here since Flickr always adds a lot more contrast when uploading for some reason. I always have to edit the photo in Flickr and take contrast out to get it close to what my image looks like in Photoshop. Its close, but always looks more contrasty and has more pixelated edge effects than it does in Photoshop.

Great image, Andrew...

I would like to see it in print.

Thanks for the kind words everyone! I love color shots of snow where it almost looks monochrome, but that little bit of color sets it apart. I think that's why I didn't particularly care for the shot of this I made on Delta 100. The scene was almost monochrome to begin with so the black and white didn't add anything to the image.

The brightly lit rock 'face" is looking up admiring the mountains and the clouds. Just like I am. Excellent composition.
