My faves are 5 and 6 --- on 6 there's a little line of Newton rings across the frame

[fish4570]

thanks, jussi.

i have noticed that line as well. it shows up occasionally. i have no idea why it would. i use the plain neg holder that came with ther scanner.

Paul, if the film has a bow to it, and the bow faces down, it may contact the scanner glass. Not that it doesn't have downsides, turning the film around so it bows up fixes that - possibly at the expense of sharpness

Interesting set with lovely textures. I particularly like the end of the post (no 5 I think).

4490 has terrible holder for 35mm (same as V500), you need to force film in negative direction. but not alone! put it in some archival sheet and the force it to opposite way than its "rounded" for several seconds. be careful to not broke it. after those few seconds, you have limited time to make scan without newton rings. other way is use different method of holding, there are also of course anti newton ring glasses available on the internet.

and pictures: very good, i like those minimal compositions.

#2 for me, looks like an uncommon setting for such a subject

Numbers 3 and 5 most definitely need cropping to improve them. Left and right respectively.
Try it

[fish4570]

thank you all so much.

but trev, that would put the subjects in the middle! horrors!

by the way, the kentmere will be perfectly flat after pressing for a day or so. still, i might order myself one of those fancy holders ...

[shauttra]

the topic-name perfectly describes the photograph!

I love the dynamic in the grey-tones. Striking whites.
