It is wonderful what clarity a tripod can bring to a photo. SP1000, Super-Takumar 55/2, Kodak Gold 200, exposure [provided by the SP's newly refurbished meter. Direct sun coming from the upper right corner played a little hob, but I'll take it ...

Excellent shot Paul.. the composition adds to a somewhat sombre atmosphere which I like. Is this the new scanner?

Not my scan. Since it is C-41 film, I had to get drugstore processing, so I went ahead and got a CD, too. I think I will try a scan with the V300, though.

The washout from the sun in the upper right is perfect! The contrast change draws your attention to the left, and really gives you a sense that there is more out there in the direction the chair is facing. 
Throw in the subtle but not extreme use of DOF to emphasize the foreground, and the saturated colors in the background, and this is a solidly great shot!
Heck, you even got a good scan from the drugstore!  How often does that happen?

Yes, it was a good scan, EXCEPT THAT PERCEY DIMPLED the negative. The dent makes that little arc of light on the chair arm. I discovered this just now when I pulled the negatives to try scanning this shot. I should have known something was up when I noticed Percy was wearing make-up - and too much of it ... 
An adjoining neg shot with slightly different framing is next to this one. Perhaps I will scan it ...
Aaaarrrggghhh!
Oh, and thank you for all of the kind words. In the meantime I have bought a hood for the Takumar. Perhaps no more side glares ...

Here are my own scans with the V300, 48 bit/ 3,200 px, mild PPing.
First, my scan of the original chair with a view - and that stupid Percy-induced dimple:
Second, my scan of an adjoining negative that had a little more foreground, and a little more to the right side. I cropped to match the original as best I could. There is no dimple. I also added some contrast and saturation, and reduced highlights to more closely match the original. IIRC, I shot this one with a stop more exposure, which increased the washout on the right.
And here is my scan of one of the summer-on-black-creek shots:
They are not quite as sharp of the drugstore machine scans, but I think they certainly are excellent for an $81 scanner ...

And here is a photoshopped version of the original, with my clumsy attempt at getting rid of the effects of the dimple. I am sure you can see I did not get the curve of the left armrest quite right. But hey, not bad for a fellow with a nervous right hand.

Perhaps you would have better luck using the burn tool to fix the blemish? I think the content of the original image is there, it is just lighter in that one spot.

Hey Bill, you did wonderfully with that dimple. What tool? What software?
It took me an hour to figure out that I could change the size of the little target thingie and click color in tiny dots rather than paint ...

Nah, I shot the chair in black and white with the M-O 50/2, one with deep DOF, one with shallow DOF, in still, overcast, humid early morning light. The humidity, I am sure, will soften the background a great deal, even at the smaller aperture ...

Haven't used that film, looking forward to your results!
On the pic, I blew it up (wuddabeen better using a larger file) and started
dobbing it out with the clone stamp. |

I stay completely away from the word 'bimbo' since my early 20's.
EDITED, some might find it offensive. |
