In learning more how to scan on my Nikon Coolscan V ED, I'm still

getting inconsistent results. Sometimes I get lucky and a scan

remains true to color to the original Kodachrome. Usually, photos

with "evening light" have colors that don't come through easily in

the scan. Any hints from veteran scanners? Which color space might be

the best choice for the above situation? Any help would be much

appreciated. Thanks

I cropped this picture out of a much larger TIF file generated from a

RAW file. I was also close to the limit of my 10X optical zoom, as

well. I'd like to be able to enlarge this up to the largest size I

can and I'm worried about losing too much detail (more than I've

already lost). Is there any advice on sharpening you could give,

given that there's so many ways to enhance sharpness in Photoshop? (I

have Elements 5.0).

 

Any other thoughts on aesthetics?

Any thoughts about this frame-filling color?

I took quite a few shots of this scene and this one seemed to be the

best. Any thoughts?

 

Thanks

I'm finally starting to learn all the manual functions of my camera.

However, it's still a difficult task to freeze the water without over-

exposing the white highlights. Also, a polarizing filter seems to be

somewhat useless, as the camera re-adjusts in most auto-modes.

 

Is totally manual operation of my camera a necessity in these

situations?

I waited for the last possible moment, as the sun was going down, to

take this shot from the Mount Watkins area. I had hoped for a little

more gold color from the "golden hour".

Please critique. Conditions were great but my composition might be off

 

Thanks

You never know what you might run across, so carry your camera as

often as you can. I found this scene while searching for rare

goshawks.

 

Thanks for looking!

All the other rocks all had soil and plants growing on top. Luckily,

I found this one and had my camera handy

I really would like to bring out the color of the Indain Paintbrushes.

Maybe I'll trying focusing a scan on a smaller area next time.

Any cropping preferences would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

My scanning skills ARE getting better. Is there anything you could

see that I could do better?

 

I'm using a Nikon Coolscan V ED.

 

Thanks

I'm still trying to refine my scanning skills. How am I doing?

 

Thanks!

Everything was good about this photo except for a jet's contrail I

tried to edit through cropping and then use of the clone tool

 

Please critique

Thanks

Great picture and good job dealing with the sun. The green grass is very natural looking.

 

A very spiritual kind of shot.

It's hard to say which would be better, Ross. It's quite a moody picture and I like those skeletal-like tree silhouettes. I surely would have taken a dozen shots or so to get the best composition. Nice picture, Tatjana.

Desolation Wilderness, in California, sure lives up to its name in

this scanned Kodachrome slide. This one seems to have scanned

properly, capturing the the vividness better than in some of my other

scans with my new Nikon filn scanner. This photo is fresh from the

scanner with no manipulation other than resizing.

Does anyone else like this flowing water effect? My Fuji both

freezes the action but makes it look like a slow shutter speed.

 

Also, would this work as a "Fine Art" photo?

 

Thanks

Took this one while my work vehicle was broken down in Montana.

 

I like it but, what do you think?

 

Thanks

Please critique this Yosemite photo. It's a companion to the other

El Capitan picture in my portfolio.

 

Thanks!

Some people prefer this picture upsidedown.....LOL

 

What do you think?

 

Sold a print to my boss at a charity auction 2 years ago

Another shot from a Photo.net newbie. Please critique and enjoy.

I'm new to Photo.net. Please critique.
