Now that the summer seems to have arrived, and the spring shooting frenzy has come to a halt. I have had a little bit more free time to scan and work on some film shots from earlier in the year. I am pretty sure I am the youngest person to post here at 23 and yet I think I am the only one that still bothers with film, sometimes. Call me crazy but there is just something fun about film that I enjoy.
Anyway here is a shot from April of a dogwood along the Cedar Falls Trail at Petit Jean. Let me know how many dust spots I missed, I've found 8+ so far.
Tim my scanner is pretty old, it doesn't have ICE. It does have a dust removal feature but I don't like it. I would like a newer scanner but I always seem to find something else I would rather put money into.
You can come see me for those high res scans, if you want to pay for it. I have a $150,000 piece of machinery with ICE to use
Nice shot Matt. Film is a dying format. Hopefully it will continue to thrive enough for the makers to manufacture the film.
Nice image. I still work with Velvia on my 4x5, but find it is often quicker to just use the digital for the web since the resolution advantage is lost on a 720 pixel wide image.
yea 720px doesn't do this image justice at all. This is a 35mm slide scanned at 2400 dpi, so its only about 6.6 megapixel, but it seems like it has way more detail than any of my 10MP DSLR shots. I'd love a 4x5, heck I'd love a 6x7 if I could find a good cheap one.
No drum scanner...I wish!
Scans for high rez...9.99 for the first neg, 60 cents for each one after that.
They take a while to scan...that's why so much. I've printed 20x30's off of some high quality images and they came out great. Can also do Med. format and 4x5.
My boss was talking about getting rid of his Hassleblads...I'll ask him what he is thinking on a price.
a hasselblad is probably more than I want to spend. I was thinking more along the lines of a RB67 or something like that. I can build a decent RB setup for about $400. That RB is heavy and huge and would be mostly for fun. If I am going to be hiking and shooting seriously all day digital, will still be my choice.
10 bucks isn't bad too bad. Drum scans are over $20 a shot without shipping for 35mm. I may sort through a few shots and see what I can bring you guys.

Karla, you guys have a drum scanner? How much for 35mm? I have quite a few that I would like to see after a good scan.

Kepp up the fight!
I'll keep on fighting!
