Grand Canyon


Big Bend

I scanned these slides with a Minolta Dimage Scan Multi Pro, and filtered them with infrared dust-elimination and grain-reduction (Velvia tends to need that), but no sharpening.
The originals are typically 8600x7000 when scanned at 3200 dpi. You can see the 1/4 and 1/8 reduced images here.

Rocky Mountain

Yellowstone


Most of these photos were taken with a Pentax 67II medium format camera.
(Which weighs a ton, even without the AE prism.)
(Or so it seems by the last day of the hike, especially when you add in the lenses, the light meter, and the walking-sticks-to-tripod adapter.)
(And don't even ask about the 4x5 large format field camera.)
(So? I should go back to 35mm? Digital? Bah!)
(Well ok, maybe a medium/large format digital back that costs as much as a new car)

Pictures with nnnn-nn labels are from color negatives, most likely Fuji NPS.
Pictures with SLn-nn labels are from color positives, most likely Fuji RVP (Velvia 50 or 100).
