Advertisement Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 Hi leicamann, Take a look here Red Splendor. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
lambroving Posted August 24, 2006 Share #2 Posted August 24, 2006 John, WOW, is this recent? I can just imagine the slide or a big dye transfer transparency on a light box. I'm sure this screen can't touch it. Have many KII's myself which would never fully translate here but would reproduce well enough for a big glossy book. Any more like this? Nothing like KII...

leicamann Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share #3 Posted August 24, 2006 William, of course there is nothing like it....and yes it is recent. What I see from the lightbox is the amazing 3d quality..which I've yet to see in digital And yes the whole roll turned out excellent:) Cheers, Leicamann Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Armitage Shanks Posted August 24, 2006 Share #6 Posted August 24, 2006 William, how is it that you can "imagine" what a transparency looks like yet not accept that a good digital image posted here does not also suffer from similar (or worse) degradation for the web? I look forward to the posting of some of the fabulous images which you would put in your "big glossy book". John, if you have "yet to see digital quality which surpasses this", then you really have not looked very far. Your whole roll "turned out excellent" (sic); that I find remarkable; even HCB would not have said that. The first shot is missing part of the flower on the right side, which detracts from a passable image; the second has the base of a flower intruding from the top which does not contribute at all. At least the first image does have a focal point, unlike the second. Please do not be offended by my comments; but, frankly, both of you (who have been round the block a few times) seem to be condescendingly talking a good photograph, without actually showing one. Please come back with some breath-taking images and prove me wrong. Regards, Armitage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted August 24, 2006 Share #7 Posted August 24, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Interesting first post. Think I'll let John handle this one... Of course, Shanks, you COULD search the archives... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Armitage Shanks Posted August 24, 2006 Share #8 Posted August 24, 2006 William, Do not assume that because that was my first post on the new forum that I have not been around the block a couple more times than you! By refering me to the archive, rather than posting some of your glossy book fillers, you make my point for me. Let's see 'em dude. John? Regards, Armitage.

stuny Posted August 24, 2006 Share #9 Posted August 24, 2006 John - Now I see them on my home monitor. SUPER MEGA WOW! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrewer Posted August 25, 2006 Share #10 Posted August 25, 2006 Wow-eeee! That second one just jumps right off the screen into my lap, John! Super shots! Alas, my roses and hibiscus and xenias and on and on are not long left now with the nights getting a little cooler and the days a little shorter here already. Thanks for sharing!

Guest flatfour Posted August 25, 2006 Share #13 Posted August 25, 2006 Incredible colouring, but Kodachrome 25 was the best of all slide films in my opinion. Good image Ed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybarton Posted August 25, 2006 Share #15 Posted August 25, 2006 John - I think that you may have surpassed yourself with these (esp the second one - the first seems to have blown the red a bit). Do you underexpose the film for this type of work? "Armitage" - perhaps you'd care to share some of your work with us, rather than just coming along and having a go at long-standing members? Just a thought... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicamann Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share #16 Posted August 25, 2006 Thanks everyone for your comments. Armitage..hmm Richard Armitage.....death squads, Contras, the slaughter in Tegucigalpa 83?La Mano Blanco etc.....Negropontes right hand man..sorry I am not going to argue with you. Andy..the blown red has nothing to do with the slide or exposure and has everything to do with the limits of the software and the scanner, I have yet to find a way around it.. on the slide the exposure is spot on.... this is where I need you to see the slide in the RAW to actually believe it, the quality of K25 is simply amazing..now maybe with an Imacon FlexScann or drum scanner. The probelm is really where they have made huge leaps and bounds with digital cameras, they have not done so with scanners...thye have been left behind in this race:( ..
