Ice Detail - 8x10 Portra 400

Ice Detail - 8x10 Portra 400

Another closeup of some ice on the Mississippi River. Tripod was a bit tipsy being pointed down like this but luckily it didn't fall over.

I think the shutter speed was 1/60. I accidentally exposed Velvia 50 as a 400 speed film and that came out pretty black.

St Paul Cathedral Statue - 4x5 HP5+

St Paul Cathedral Statue - 4x5 HP5+

An older 4x5 negative that I never processed. I only had a super wide angle 75mm at the time and thought this was too vertical. I cropped a good bit off the top and was able to work the contrast a lot. I am going to try a Kallitype soon as I think that will work well here, but who knows.

I am happy with how it turned out and I'm glad I re-stumbled upon the image on my HD. It has given me some ideas to go back to the Cathedral with especially with 8x10 and a couple different focal lengths.

While waiting around with the 8x10 I took a few closeups of the ice on the Mississippi River.

Great Sand Dunes NP - 4x5 Velvia 50 drum scan

Great Sand Dunes NP - 4x5 Velvia 50 drum scan

A new and I think final edit of the drum scan of this 4x5 Velvia 50 transparency. I am surprised at the strong casts I had in my previous edit from my scan (Epson 4990). You can see that here:

Lenny Eiger did this drum scan and it looks fantastic.

I was able to keep the distant mountains more neutral and there is also more detail in the highlights of the sky. I've had the drum scan for quite a while now but I could never get rid of the lens vignetting for whatever reason. It is still noticeable but not as bad. The size of the file made it tough to work with - 15000x20000. After a few weeks off and on I am pretty much done I think.
