Bravo! Both are marvelous.

Thanks very much! Only sad thing about the day was that while these images were being made my car was being broken into and my Mamiya RZ was stolen from the boot. These images are some compensation to me.

A thing to mention about the toning: I think the first was toned with a Platinum gradient map in photoshop then with an orange fill layer overlay at very low opacity, to add a bit of warmth. The second had a gold gradient map applied; I feel that 8x10 scans of nature and landscape, when converted to RGB, tend to look rather too blue so need warming up a bit.

A thing to mention about the toning

Excellent, I was meaning to ask you about your toning workflow (have you moved to a flatbed scanner, or were these done with your DSLR system?) At any rate, that's rather harsh news regarding your Mamiya--hopefully there's still hope you'll be reunited!

[DaveF]

Thanks: very unlikely sadly (just another UK crime statistic). They also stole my raincoat and the 8x10 film holder I'd left in the car! Good look to them with the latter.

Re. scanning, yes Epson V850 with diy scanning mount (the usual silicon rubber, about 1.5mm thick, with film taped to edges). I still have the DSLR but for 8x10 scanning with the Epson is so much more user-friendly for me.

Found this in my scanned archives.

Taken in Washtenaw County Michigan, around fall 1994. I used a Super Speed Graphic and a Commercial Ektar 8.5". Exposure details are lost to history. Image was scanned in using an Epson V850, then edited in Affinity for cropping. Saved as a JPEG.
