Mark, those are slides (you guessed right), I took the
images two weeks ago and then they are new scanned
images. BTW the contrast is typical from slides, the
contrast is very high in the wood/jungle and there is
no capable slide film to register the entire tonal
range and I doubt even if a negative color film with
the widest latitude could register the entire tonal
range in the jungle, the only way to diminish the
contrast is to use filling flash, sometimes I did it
and it works for subjects close to the camera. Anyway
this Fuji 400 has an excellent latitude for a slide
film.
Thank you very for your comments about my gallery,
really I appreciate them. Flickr is a site where you
can have a gallery for free or paying a "pro" account
to obtain some advantages and where you can share your
photographs with millions of users and photography
groups like the "Rollei Users Group" gallery managed
by the RUG member Eric Goldstein.
All the best
Carlos
