Wrong film choice, bad processing or bad photographer?

I also think it is the scanning. I've been using the 120 version for about 2 months (see my Flickr stream) and I've had excellent results either scanned at the lab or with my Epson V700. Of course, it depends on personal taste - the colours are naturally quite saturated.

Hello again everybody.

 

Guess today is my lucky day. Today I met a lab guy with better work ethics, better communication skills and the rest probably chemicals and etc.

 

This image comes from same ektar 100 and same scanner at the second lab I mentioned on previous post. With correct exposure, this film provides beautiful vivid color. Directly from scanner, no post processing. This is what I am talking about :D

 

Case closed, eh?

I really like Ektar - I scan in my own negs on a Nikon 9000 and this film needs very little post processing compared to Portra and Fuji NPS. The other two are great, but I like a little more pop in my images, and Ektar really shines.

 

Outdoor - no post processing other than dust removal

Craft

 

Indoor - minimal post processing to increase contrast

Craft Bar and Restaurant - Calgary!

 

If it isn't the scans though it might be an issue with heat - the film might have been exposed to too much heat either before or after purchase.
