Old scan from the Canadian Rockies
« on: August 31, 2015, 11:38:01 »
This one is 10 years old. Taylor Lake, Alberta, Canada.
Originally shot in October 2005 on Provia (I believe).
I kept returning to this image until eventually a few years ago I scanned it. Recently made into a B&W version with Lightzone.

A couple more scans from the same year.
Late September, the Rockwall at Floe Lake, Kootenay Nat. Park, BC, Canada.
Colour and B&W versions with Lightzone from scans of Provia slides.

Thank you Frank, all your points much appreciated.
Looking back at the old slides, grain is not always a bad thing. It does lend some character.

Simone, I love the contrast between the snow, rocks and the orange of the tree.

Thank you Mike.
From your comment and Frank's, maybe the image works better in colour.
I like both versions and cannot make up my mind.

Seeing the color image took me into a calendar flip going back, back ... back into the film-only days. I'm think yep, that's what a color slide looked like. Thanks for sharing.

Impressive scenes, regardless of the media.  Which is the original film size?  135?

Thank you Akira.
35mm slide film (Fuji Provia). So yes, 135.
Shot with a Nikon F80.
