Docked rowboats on Lake Plansee, Tyrol, Austria
This is a rescan of a Kodachrome slide first posted on Flickr in 2008. I'm rescanning at higher resolution all of my earlier low-resolutions scans done with a flatbed scanner (an HP Scanjet 4800). I'm now using a Nikon Supercoolscan 5000 at 4000 x 2500 (10 mp) resolution with Digital ICE turned on. I get a smoother image with higher resolution and better colours and no dust and scratches. I kept the old flatbed scan for comparison (see below).
I was intrigued by the bright greenish streak on the lake in the upper right of the photo. I thought at first that it might be a defect in the film or something introduced during processing. But looking at it large, it appears to be real; the light appears to be coming from the end of long floating rod-shaped object. Reading about Lake Plansee, I found out that it is a popular place for scuba divers looking for artefacts. My guess is that the light we see in the photograph was being used by divers in those row boats that were in the middle of the lake when I took the photograph on September 11, 1971. Just a guess!
