    A Place to Rest.

    I have an old Ricohflex TLR that I want to start using again (cheap, late '50's vintage camera, but has a very sharp lens), but need to find a cost effective way to scan the negatives.

    (1) I don't think that one need be a "participating member of high standing" to recognize flaws in the rating system. A rarely participating member of low standing could easily discover that what Peter has complained about happens all too often.

     

     

    (2) "...he and those who tag on his coattail with ratings, are sabotaging this site in ways I, as a paying member, resent deeply. "

     

     

    This seems like a rather elitist comment that I, as a nonpaying member, resent deeply. :)

    I, for one, believe that Peter put quite a lot of thought into making his statement, which, unfortunately, I find to be all too often true. I have made a statement by rating his a 7/7.

    I would use PhotoShop or another image editor to get rid of the black spot near the upper left corner of the image. Other than that, it's a gorgeous shot.

    This one must be viewed in large format to fully appreciate. I actually like the thin, red frame surrounding the image. As I told Doug, these pictures of the fall colors really make me miss my home state of Tennessee. Fall tends to be very dull here in SW Texas.

     

     

    Thanks for sharing, fellow AZ enthusiast. :)

  1. This one really has to be viewed in large format to fully appreciate. I notice that you're using fast color negative film (ISO 400-800) for most of your outdoor photos. I would like to encourage you to use 100 speed film whenever it's possible to do so (maybe try some slide film too; Kodak Extra Color is pretty cheap and produces very vivid images). You'll notice far better detail in the dark areas of your photos, a more pleasing contrast, and, especially for photos taken in mid-day sun, less instances of that washed out appearance that is easy to get when using faster speed films.

     

     

    Just a suggestion.
