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.

The Detroit Boat Club is never open on Sunday morning but this day the gates were open and there were a few cars in the lot. I drove in, parked and walked around back taking about 10 minutes to snap a few shots with my old Nikon F2. When I returned I discovered I'd been LOCKED IN! the Boat Club is surrounded by a moat and a tall chain link fence/gate - the gate was closed and locked! - GULP - I'd never even considered the possibility!
I can still climb tall fences - YEA!
Then I discovered my car was in a gated parking lot and yes, the lot gate was closed and padlocked! LORDY.
After an embarrasing phone call home and some devious escape planning I found that my captors had a heart - the padlock wasn't completely clasped - FREE AT LAST - lessons learned.

This is from Jacksonville, Florida in 1974. Sorry the quality is so low, but it's a low-res scan. I retouched the colours to get rid of the dreaded yellow tint. I'm wearing a Garabed Sarkis "Garo" Yepremian Dolphins Jersey along with a hideous pair of pants.
Missouri River Valley shot with a Minolta SRT 102 with a 28-85mm MD Rokkor macro zoom lens and Ektar 100 film. This low res scan gives you an idea of how well this film reproduces color, highlights and shadow details. To really appreciate what this film is capable of the negative should be scanned at very high resolution.

A wider view of Tn5129 Landquart-Samedan ore freight service, with a decent load. Nikon F-801 fitted 24-70 Sigma zoom. Fuji 100 film, low res scan by David Warwick for me.

I've always loved the rangefinder version of this dinky little 50mm Tessar copy russian lens, and been delighted with the results off it when fitted to my old Leica, Fed & Zorki cameras, as here:
www.flickr.com/photos/f8onfilm/524227387/
I'd love to be able to fit that lens (or any of my old Leica screwfit lenses) to a modern Canon or Minolta/Sony Alpha body,,,but you can't because the register is so different.
But KMZ did make this tiny version of that lens, to fit early russian SLR's which had a 39mm mount thread before they moved to 42mm.
This is the little machined sleeve you need to make the ingredients mix together in the recipe, and this is what it looks like on a late MInolta 35mm SLR (link below).
It makes for a very compact & lightweight piece of kit indeed.
Go to the buffet and something good will come! I managed to grab this shot of a triple header. Running for Crossrail, hired in 11290 leads CR113 and 115 ( former RM locos ) 13-02-09 Fuji 100 slide low res scanned

Museum for Modern Art
"The art museum stands in the light of Lake Constance. It is made of glass and steel and a cast concrete stone mass which endows the interior of the building with texture and spatial composition. From the outside, the building looks like a lamp. It absorbs the changing light of the sky, the haze of the lake, it reflects light and colour and gives an intimation of its inner life according to the angle of vision, the daylight and the weather."

The lances didn't quite hit their targets here. Perhaps the knights were a bit reticent in where they aimed their weapons on the first try at the jousting match.
I am using a Pentax K1000, with an 80-200mm zoom lens, photographing it on Kodak Gold film, rated at ASA 200. The picture quality is due to a low-res scan.
