Butter Cup Falls, Ohio Valley National Parks.

Shot on Konica 50 Pro Color Negative Film. Before rating look at the

larger pictures, also, Critiques welcome.

Wonderful details. I wouldn't believe it has been taken with a superzoom.

This is a beautiful image. The details in the water are wonderful. I don't know if you noticed but there appears to be an artifact (from the scanning process) in the stone on the left side of the image. I would have cleaned that up, and perhaps darkened the two bright spots on the rock on the upper right.

I see the artifact you are speaking of, unfortunately I do not scan my own negatives or slides. I have them scanned third party. I am sure in the next few months during the winter season I will be purchasing a Negative/Slide scanner. Thank you for the comments !!!

I don't scan my own images either, but clean them up in a photo editing program.

I use Photoshop all the time for certain photographs. But I also enjoy being able to flag "Manipulated? No (Read this for more information)" with as many photographs as I can. If I use Photoshop to clean up the photographs then they will be manipulated right? Well, I have a pile of photographs that I do at home in B&W that are completely done by hand with no uses of Photoshop what so ever. These photos I print on Glossy Fiber base B&W paper, the ones that go to the gallery. So as you can see I am a film photographer that tries to get as many original photographs uploaded to Photo.net as I can. Sure I could have cleaned up this photo with Photoshop, but would it be my work? or the work of a computer? Something to think about?

I certainly did not mean to stir up the ever present "is it manipulated" controversy.

 

I always figured if the artifact was introduced in the digital scanning process, it makes sense to remove it digitally.

 

I don't think of this as a "manipulation" like a photoshop filter might be, but a cleaning.
