edwardkaraa Posted November 7, 2017 Share #42243 Posted November 7, 2017 Very nice portrait Antonio, really engaging. I was busy taking boring pictures of rocks with the Rolleiflex before these guys appeared and made my afternoon.

edwardkaraa Posted November 7, 2017 Share #42245 Posted November 7, 2017 I have started using my Plustek scanner to digitise some of my old negatives from my travels in India. I'm still getting used to using Silverfast so bear with me. I was using a Nikon F80 with a kit zoom at the time, film was Superia 400. Kashmir Shepherds' Ponies by Robert Michael Poole, on Flickr Beautiful series, Robert. Just one small advice if you don't mind. I can see grain aliasing in your shots, so I assume that you're scanning at medium or low resolutions. I would scan at the maximum optical resolution of the scanner, then resize. That would avoid the aliasing and give you smoother tonality. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a plustek 8200 which has a maximum resolution of 7200, I will try to up it and see how it goes. www.robertpoolephotography.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipus Posted November 7, 2017 Share #42251 Posted November 7, 2017 Richard, Phil - these are two truly sublime shots, each in their own way of course. What a fantastic coincidence to catch that diver like that. Composition is simply fantastic and his split-second pose perfectly caught. It's a dream shot, in my world, and one I would love to have on my wall. The one with the horse family (?) has a lovely tone and serenity that's not easy to capture. Delightful. Very nice portrait Antonio, really engaging. I was busy taking boring pictures of rocks with the Rolleiflex before these guys appeared and made my afternoon.

edwardkaraa Posted November 7, 2017 Share #42254 Posted November 7, 2017 So, would you scan at 3600 or 7200? www.robertpoolephotography.com 3600 of course. There is no advantage to scan at 7200 and you get longer scanning times, bloated files, and no extra resolution. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert M Poole Posted November 7, 2017 Share #42255 Posted November 7, 2017 3600 of course. There is no advantage to scan at 7200 and you get longer scanning times, bloated files, and no extra resolution.Thank you that's what I thought. I was scanning just below this. I'll try upping the resolution to 3600 and see how they turn out. I really appreciate through advice, I've not done much scanning and I'm still getting my head around the difference between editing film Vs digital. www.robertpoolephotography.com 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A miller Posted November 7, 2017 Share #42256 Posted November 7, 2017 Thanks, Gregor Adam, as always .... you got it! What a nice street shot! Best Gregor Awesome, Sunny. You've certainly coined this color palette. The scene looks like a snap shot of a TV show from a shotty TV. Love it! Thanks Gregor, one more for you, my friend.

I've seen my fair share of hanging peking duck, but none that look quite as gruesome and execution style as this. I think the second works better b/c the duck is still in plenty focus and the people are more interesting to view. Very nice! Peking duck, if you're feeling hungry I focused first on the poor duck, then on the waiter.

Robert M Poole Posted November 7, 2017 Share #42258 Posted November 7, 2017 Also enjoying the Kashmir shots Robert, it was a closed part of the world by the time I made it to that area. Sounds like it was hairy enough when you were there. Another lazy iphone picture of a print, 8x10 from Rolleiflex this time. I think we perhaps shouldn't have gone. On the Times of India after we left I read about a grenade attack on a police checkpoint. The road we took to get there was described in the guide book as, "prone to the occasional shelling by the Pakistani army", I spotted a sign at the road side (bullet ridden) saying, "you are now under enemy observation". Our hosts would not let us into the town without a chaperone. Saying that, I never felt like I was in danger except perhaps on bus journeys but that was more to do wth the state of the roads! www.robertpoolephotography.com 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert M Poole Posted November 7, 2017 Share #42259 Posted November 7, 2017 This reminds me of my first trip overseas with an entry-level Canon SLR. However, your photos are much better! Thanks for sharing them.I think the quality of the pictures is more to do with the interesting locations rather than any technical skill of mine but thank you. www.robertpoolephotography.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
