You are invited to upload one or more of your landscape photos and, if you’d like, to accompany your image with some commentary: challenges you faced in making the image? your intent for the image? settings? post-processing decisions? why you did what you did? the place and time? or an aspect you’d like feedback on? And please feel free to ask questions of others who have posted images or to join the discussion. If you don’t feel like using words, that’s OK too—unaccompanied images (or unaccompanied words, for that matter) are also very much welcomed. As for the technicalities, the usual forum guidelines apply: files < 1 MB; image size <1000 px maximum dimension.

I'm still hanging out in the archives, trying to improve my color negative scans. Here's another from the point-and-shoot. The color matched pretty well on this one, thanks to Lightroom.

I'm heading back to one of my favorite places, the beach. The starfish was taken back into the water with the next wave. It had been the focus of interest for children, dogs, and a couple of photographers willing to play chicken with the incoming waves. This starfish-eye view was taken at Trinidad Beach in Humboldt Co, CA.

As for scanning negatives; I've had good results with my Epson flatbed. It came with carriage for negatives and has decent software for the little fixes that are sometimes required. I also have a Plus-tek scanner, but reserve it for larger items. I think it would handle negatives just fine.
