All:
After some fiddling with my inexpensive flat-bed scanner, I've managed some
success.
Please note: the 'snow' you see in the photo is NOT digital 'noise'.
It's snow! Temp was a balmy -12C and it was snowing lightly.
www.horizon.bc.ca/~dnr and click on 'pheatured photo'.
Techie stuff: R8 with 400/f6.8 Telyt and 2x converter at f8 (really f16)
about 1/125th of a second. Hand held, with the aid of the shoulder stock.
Take Dec. 29th, just south of Logan Lake, B.C., on Kodak HD-400 negative
film. Scanned from a 4x6" print, so some detail is lost. Sorry!
True confessions: There were two or three stubs of branches on the right,
which I felt disturbed the composition. So, in PS, I removed them! In my
mind, no different than dodging them out in a silver print. Everything
else is as photographed, with the exception of a tiny bit tweaking in Focus
Magic to make the scan as sharp as the original print... or at least,
close. :-)
As always, comments welcomed, criticism grudgingly accepted. ;-)
Thanks for looking.
David.
