Hi, David, and thanks for taking a look.
The shots are taken more or less straight of the CD I got back from the
lab - of course they don't tell you what scanning parameters they used
in the way of shapening (I suspect they did a lot of that - a little too
much for my liking) and possibly tweaked the contrast too. I'm thinking
of running them through my own scanner when I have time to see if
there's a difference. In fact, on one scan on the CD the tarmac of the
road was violet, even though the scans of the neighbouring negatives
were ok as far as the colour is concerned - I reckon the predominant red
of the shot (bricks) screws up their automatic processing.
If I get a chance, the big Rollei (6006) will get taken out for a walk
soon - I'm looking forward to seeing some BIG slides again.
Cheers
Douglas

/However, on my monitor it appears that the contrast is a wee bit
high, in all of them. I suspect this is a consequence of
over-ripened (out of date) film. There also seems to be a fair bit
of grain ... particularly in the last one ... imm030_31A. This, too,
may be because of the beyond date film. I just didn't expect that
much grain/ from any 6x6 negative.
It turns out that the Rollei 3003 is not a 6x6 but a rather rare 35mm
camera! I've been reading up on it, and it's quite a toy! I'd never
run across such a camera, or even heard of it. Looks to be a very
interesting device! For those who also do not know this camera,
Steven Gandy's Cameraquest site has a good blurb on it. ...

However the format explains the grain, so I withdraw my comments about
the grain. My mistreak!
(Still a nice series of photos!)
Cheers!
