Hello to All,

Just a small postcard from a very very old cementery with a nice sign:

Here is an alternate, more famous cementery,

Some tourists, looking for shade at the foot of these big tumbs (very strange colors, in my eye)

Provia & Nikon V ED, either summicron 35 or vario Elmar 80-200.

Comments are welcome, especially for the strange colors, which could be the control of the scanner that does this, I cannot identify :(

Good Mornin' Xavier!

I like all three... although my favourite is 03, because the buggy gives the photo scale, while the buggy's splash of colour lifts it out of the sea of sand. I love this one!

However, it seems that all three have a slight "list" to the right ... that you're right hand was lower than your left... just a wee bit. Easily corrected in Corel, once scanned. (Just be careful that Ted doesn't spot that!!!!! ;-) )

My impression on the colour in 04 is not that the colour is wrong, but that the exposure is ... a wee bit too dark. Try to lighten it slightly and reduce the contrast a wee bit. It should improve.

Were these originally shot as slides, or negs? With your R7, I'm sure, but which lenses? Enquiring minds want to know!

Cheers!
