Low-res scan of a transparency.
One day, I was out by one of the somewhat out-of-the-way coastal accesses---yes, the ones with no dogs running around aimlessly--- and, before I arrived, I noticed the rainbow gliding accross the field toward the hills with the rain drops that allowed me to see it. So, I had to hurry and nab a few images before it was gone.
Hint: Always have film or a memory chip in your camera with several exposures or sufficient space ready.

Windscreen glass and couplings removed, brake pipes severed ...D1050 WESTERN RULER was nothing more than a cold hulk when photographed in the scrapyard behind Swindon Works on Saturday 31st January 1976. During its final year or two this locomotive was always recognisable ...from one side at least... by that gouge under the nameplate. The other loco was D1026 WESTERN CENTURION. I would prefer that this wasn't quite so grainy. Grain can be a thing of beauty or it can look yucky: this falls the yucky side of neutral, I feel. The flat light didn't help. It was one of the most horribly cold days I can remember. It wasn't the invigorating, frosty sort of cold you get during anticyclonic weather, but a dank, penetrating cold, sealed in by this blanket of featureless white cloud. I was numb and shivering all day, albeit that I wore my trusty ex-army greatcoat.
This is not the first public appearance of the photograph. I see from my notes that its début occurred on 4th July 2004, when I posted it to the "usenet" newsgroup alt.binaries.pictures.rail ...probably as a horrible low-res scan (128KB) of the original print that had come back from Hodder's all those years ago in a two-part folding wallet of execrable design. Ten years ago! Does usenet still go on? I thought it was great for the first few months I had a computer, but became rapidly disillusioned. I forget how it went now. Didn't you have to use Outlook Express for your email and usenet newsgroups? I was too thick to understand its intricacies and preferred to get newsgroups through a website called Remarq. This suddenly disappeared but I found a replacement, which I liked less, called Dejanews. I never cared for it, abandoned usenet and transferred my activities to Yahoo! Groups. They, however, suddenly announced that they would no longer archive members' photographs. So I "migrated" to an outfit called Domeus, which offered a service similar to the old Yahoo! Groups. My account apparently still exists and I get occasional emails from them, but they were based in France or Belgium or somewhere and had a non English-speaking "euro" bias and, of course, many fewer members than Yahoo! I was just getting set up on fotopic when I discovered Flickr, which was obviously superior. In any case fotopic folded not long after. The rest is history...
Contax 139 quartz, Kodak Color Plus 200 - Low res scan from film.
A few months ago me and my girlfriend went on a little trip to Rome. We booked in a cheap hotel with "panoramic" view and we walked a lot. We also went to ladure and I blame it to those damn fashion blogs!

NEW YORK CITY by RENÉ NUIJENS (1993)
In 1993 I stayed for 3 month in downtown New York during my study at the Royal Art Academy in Den Hague, the Netherlands. I had a Nikon F2 and I shot about 20 rolls of Kodak Tri-x films. I did not have the money to shoot more.
Back then it was a bit inspired by steet-photographers: Henri Cartier-Bresson, August Sander and Diana Arbus. I studied the compositions on photographs and paintings. 'Why do some photographs stay interesting and why some not'? Also the light and diagonal lines were very important for me. My graphic background developed in this way.
I have never done anything with these photographs which is a real pity. The passing years are making them even more stronger. I finally scanned in everything in a low resolution and put them on my website. Here are a couple of the low res scans (all rights reserved). I am hoping on a museum or a gallery who's interested in the series. Thanks!
First try with medium format film. Unfortunately a low res scan for the moment. (Lab developed and scanned)

Considering these were shot on £1 shop "Mexican Fandango" Kodak 200asa print film, and given a bog basic 99p Tesco Supermarket scan, I'm v. pleased with the results, and especially with the extreme light-weight and compactness of this bit of kit, and the remarkable performance of this ageing diminutive KMZ Industar 50mm, it's lovely bokeh, and amazing close-focussing ability.
I just knew this inexpensive little russian jewel wouldn't let me down.
Early morning south of Altdorf, the first place the sun gets between the mountains.

Ooooh - superslick, even if I do say so myself! (Shame about the low-res scan - the real photo's much better)
8x10 neg, low res scan. Brass Busch portrait lens, 11" (275mm), f/5.6. No shutter so who knows how quickly or slowly I covered and uncovered the lens
Above shot is digital however the commentary below is about colour film
Got the second roll of film back and scanned.. much better this time around.
Did some low-res scans using the epson software so that I could have a quick look before using 'Vuescan' for a few of the shots I liked (25%).. Seem to get a better result with the Vuescan software.
I do have one Question for those of you who shoot film. How much variation do you get in the initial processing of the negatives?
I ask because I struggled to get the scans of the first roll of film looking reasonable, but with this second roll (processed a week later) the initial results Im quite happy with. Could there have been a problem with the developing of the first roll?
I was recently informed about the Galen Rowell Tribute Group here on Flickr and I was flattered that the message bearer thought my work was worthy. I went home to see what images I had that would adequately reflect Rowell's influence on my photography.
In truth, I don't feel his style has been so much of an influence as his approach. I learned much about mountain photography from his book 'Mountain Light', which I must have read at least three times.
This photograph here was captured at Russet Lake, in Garibaldi Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada. I was back home in Canada for 15 months and asked a friend to join me for a hike to this lake. In the morning there was little potential for alpine glow photographs because of the too perfect summer sky. However, the wildflowers in bloom and the early light creeping into the scene kept me busy.
The slide was shot on Velvia 50 and scanned back in 2005 at Lens & Shutter as a low res scan. The blues came out a little too strong and I tried to correct this with GIMP but I couldn't get a satisfactory effect that matched the original slide. Also, the sharpness seemed too strong and so I used a Gausian Blur set at 1 (the lowest setting) to reduce the pin-prick white pixels that seemed to be throughout the image.
While the photo is posted here as a tribute to Galen Rowell, it was published in a 'Canadian Camera' issue in 2007 along with an article about my mentors in photography and was used as an example of J.A. Kraulis' influence on my work. The photo representing Rowell's influence was a shot of Cerro Poincenot, near Cerro Fitz Roy in Argentina. That photo is also in my photostream.
