    Great shot Steve. The scan looks pretty good. One thing. There's a vertical dark band on the right side just to the left of a lighter band along the edge. I also see vignetting too on both sides. Were you using a center filter?

    Thanks!

    That band is rain clouds. You get the these vertical winds out of the canyon that can cause vertical separation of clouds and rains. I have a black and white of the canyon with a storm that shows the same thing, but more pronuounced.

    I did not use a center spot filer. Still want to get one though. How is yours working out for you?

    I don't see the vignetting you are talking about. There are some parts in the bottom right and left that are at 0 simply because they were underexposed for this scene. There is literally no detail in them.

    One thing about the canyon is it is really difficult to shoot. It has a mind of its own and most of the time dictates the image you will get vs you getting the image you want.

    Thanks for the observations. I will look at what you perceive is vignetting and see what it is and if I can fix it if it needs fix.

    Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

    Grand Canyon from Lipon PT. Tmax100, red 25A, 75mm Nikkor f4.5@f/32. Rescanned using Howtek


    Epson V850 Scan. Some of the differences are in post-processing 2 years later.


    There are a couple of areas I am may crop out when I go to print that I am not happy with.

    I like the tonality of the Howtek scan. I guess the epson cant be trained to do that?

    I like the BW. Howtek is definitely better than the V850. The V850 is granier and grittier. The tones look better on the Howtek.

    The greater sharpness in the Howtek scan makes a HUGE difference in tonal and object separation. That is the main barrier to getting a great scan from the Epson - sharpness.
