A first comparison of the betterscanning.com (www.betterscanning.com) negative holder with ANR-glas for Epson v600 and the standard Epson v600 holder with medium format film.
[edit] Follow up test of height adjustment of the holder can be found here:

How I did: I made two separate scans at 3600 dpi with a Epson V600 and Vuescan of the same negative strip of three pictures taken with a Rolleiflex model F 2.8 Carl Zeiss Planar loaded with a medium format 120 roll of Kodak T-max 400 later developed in Rodinal 1+50 at home. The scans was made all in one take of the full strip and not as individual frames. The negative strip gave an arc of the negative in the Epson holder of about 0,5-1 mm most noticeable in the middle of the middle frame. I used the Epson black plastic card that comes with the holder at the end of the arcing strip to minimize the arcing (the Epson grand solution for arcing). The exposure was locked between scans to give the negative the same exposure during scan and then saved as a Vuescan raw-file. No infrared clean, restore of colors or fading, grain reduction or sharpening was used in Vuescan when scanning. The raw-files were then imported to Photoshop, merged as one image and then received as one image invert image, desaturation and curves for contrast and enhancing the details but no other cleaning up of the negatives or sharpening was done. The image was then resized to a manageable size as seen here in the original resolution
Impression: The betterscanning holder is much easier to work with and is sturdier. I think I will have less problem with more troublesome and arcing negatives but no big quality improvements of scans with rather flat medium format negatives. I don't know what I expected from the holder more than something sturdier than the lame Epson holders. So far the image quality in the scans are not that big of an improvement.
To do: This is my second day with the betterscaning holder and I have used it as it came out of the box. I have not yet tried to optimize the result by tweaking the holder hight to the scanner and only used it with the default 1 mm hight from the scanner.
Conclusion: Do I like the betterscan holder? The answer is yes. Does the holder make much of a image quality improvement in general? No not much with a Epson v600 what I have discovered so far. But will work better with more troublesome and curly negatives. Am I happy with the holder? Yes. Do I think it's worth the price? I'm not sure. Will I keep using it? Definitely yes as almost any holder given a any thought and effort might be better than the standard Epson holder in my book. Will I keep looking after other alternatives? Most likely as I want to use what's best for me but until then I will keep using this betterscanning holder.
"I remember when rock was young, Me and Suzie had so much fun," as Elton John and Bernie Taupin would have it in their 1972 hit Crocodile Rock. And for many, many years now in Seattle, if you mentioned "Crocodile Rock", then the place you are heading to for fun is the legendary Crocodile Cafe on 2nd & Blanchard, less than a block from my apartment.
It's said that if Seattle is the record, then the Croc is the turntable. The club undeniably has the best sound and hosts most of the best bands. It has become to Seattle what CBGB's was to New York back in the day - this is the place where the likes of Kurt Cobain and Nirvana, REM and Pearl Jam all cut their teeth as embryonic rockers.
And it's always a special night when you catch a good live band at the Croc - last I saw rocking the rafters there was the timeless Robyn Hitchcock and the Venus 3, featuring Pete Buck.

Anyone familiar with using Vuescan? I've switched to scanning my negatives on my Mac and the software I'm using is more complex than what I used on my PC--and a lot less straightforward.
This is regular color film that I x-pro'd in slide film chemicals (at home). I shot it in my pinhole, and the negatives came out really dark.
I'm having trouble getting the colors of the scan to match the colors of the actual film. Vuescan saves two versions of the image--the one I've color-adjusted in Vuescan (see it here), and also a raw tiff file (which is what this one is). Neither really match the negative. I'm OK with that, I think they're both cool images, I'm just not sure what I'm doing with this software! A little bit frustrating.
On Friday, May 2nd 2014 the Impossible Project had it's Open-Day in the Factory in Enschede. My brother and i decided to attend.
Trainride from Hamburg was a bit long and only getting in for the 10am Tour meant i had to get up at around 2am :)
It was quite amazing to see where those films in my fridge come from and what is involved in making them. Seeing the drums of developerpaste kept reminding me of the Roger Rabbit movie ;)
Shot a roll of film while on the tour. Well... i think there are a few Kodak BW400cn pics in the Olympus AF Mini but that's not ready yet to develop.
Anyway... I hope you enjoy the pics although they are not that great and my chems where really on their last run.

Almost twenty percent of Americans have no means whatsoever of paying for healthcare. For that population here in Seattle, there are few places to go when they are sick, and only one place they can go for advanced medical care - and that's the "ghetto" hospital of Harborview Medical Centre.
The folks that work in the ER may not treat you like your regular doc does, but they really have only one mission... to keep you alive, and there, like most other hospitals around Seattle, they don't first check your insurance status. If you are ever in a traumatic accident, the Emergency Services protocols in King County automatically send you to Harborview. Nowhere else. These folks have seen it all and do it better than anyone else.
My hat is off to the folks that work in the ER at HMC. It's a thankless job and they do it non-stop 24/7, 365 days a year.

I've been interested in the classic car aesthetic lately, which is a first for me. Every time I see an old, striking car, I feel the urge to photograph it. I took these near Sandy Hook, NJ yesterday.

More unseen borders forming in Westlake Park, as Seattleites mingle with the 26 (now down to 24 due to summer casualties) androgynous human figures as they mix art into their daily life through a major summer art exhibit entitled “Borders”, by the Icelandic sculptor Steinunn Thórarinsdóttir. Meanwhile, for those that might feel intimidated by the life-sized one’s, at the Nordic Heritage Museum across town in Ballard, there’s also an exhibit by the same artist using their smaller counterparts she used as models for the real thing.
