Yeah, it looks spooky!

I really like #1 in this series, very nice image.
Ha ha! Great photo. Those guys wake me up every morning. They like my neighbor's roof. Might be time to get a pet hawk.
Here's the Iowa Pacific rolling through Aptos, California this afternoon on its first passenger train to Santa Cruz. Hoping for more of this in the future!
Canon D60, EF 17-40mm ƒ4L lens, ASA 400.
Originally, chromes were requisite because of optical color separations, and color matching, this was a 40+ year regime in place for color printing before scanning came along. PMT scanners were originally built to use the same print conventions because they had to phase it in.
Until 16-bit (hardware level) scanning came along, it was almost impossible to get a decent scan of a color neg. No one much wanted to print a wet darkroom color print just to scan it, but that was what was needed with 8 bit scanners. Transparencies populated more of the dynamic range of the scanner. We're working with a much smaller portion of that scanner's dynamic range with color neg--in the film itself, there's far more dynamic range, but it's occupying less density difference.
C4D - That CL has an amazing lens on it, love mine. Nice shots.
Austin - Nice shots too. What are you scanning with ? Very crisp.

I use an Epson 4990. It does pretty well, though I have to admit I only make small prints. I've been meaning to get a couple of good drum scans made from some big negatives to see firsthand what the difference might be, but honestly, I'm a little afraid the results might be TOO good-I can't afford drum scans! Cool shot of the statue of liberty.
I went through a phase where I shot nothing but really crappy, outdated negative film. This was before I shot LF or MF, I was just shooting some old 35mm cameras and developing at Walgreens. Everything sucked, but every once in a while something interesting would turn out. I found this random photo today, taken way back then, of a bridge near Brunswick, GA. I think it was with a Nikon N65 and probably a 50mm or close enough.
