Carson River in Winter (2014).jpg

As you can probably see, this is a crop from a previous uploaded photo. That photo was a low res scan of the previous frame on the roll. This is from a full resolution scan.

 

When I shot this, this was the framing I had in mind, but I only had the Hasselblad 500 C with 80mm in my camera bag. I've really tried to see in formats other than square and ideal, but when thats all you've got (I have the Hassy and RB67).....

I really liked the idea of a building a 6x12 Holganon from Regular Rods excellent plans, and even acquired all the parts, but I just don't have the time or patience. So, until I can afford that SW612 I'll stick to cropping and/or stitching.

 

My Epson V500 just doesn't give me the sharpness it should. I know I could get a third party carrier and micro-adjust, but I don't even have time to do the scans much less fiddle with the scanner. So I sent this out for developing and scanning to The Darkroom in San Clemente, CA. They did an excellent job of both. I paid the extra $10 per roll (OUCH!) for an enhanced scan which for square format 120 film yielded a file of roughly 4200x4200 with plenty of room for enhancements if I need. I didn't do anything except crop to a 2:1 format and dust removal. I think this is ready to prepare for print and should nicely upres to a 16x8 print at 360dpi on the converted Epson.
