The scan was done with the Epson V700 scanner.
#Soundslides plus iso
Camera settings are long forgotten (no metadata recorded to the file back then!) Off the top of my head I can’t recall exactly which film was used, probably Kodak, probably ISO 100, but frankly, I’m too lazy at the moment to dig out the negative and check. I couldn’t decide whether I liked the colour or monochrome treatments best and so have included both versions of each shot.įor the tech-minded, the shots were taken with the Pentax MEF 35mm SLR with a 28-80mm zoom lens.
The original scene had very little colour in it, just a wash of grey-blue through the sky in the horizontal shot and then some pink tones through the sky in the vertical shot taken just a few moments later when the sun poked through between the moving clouds. Having scanned the negatives into the computer, I processed them in Photoshop. There was no chance of achieving detail in both the sky and the foreground shadows in the one frame and so I was happy to let the shadows go to black, perhaps it adds a touch of mystery? Contrast in the scene was extreme with the late afternoon sun poking through the clouds and foreground elements in deep shade. I took 2 shots of this scene, one in horizontal format and one in vertical format. Ah, things were different back then, I was about 10 kilograms lighter, had more hair, and of course, was shooting 35mm colour negative film. The shots were taken way back in October, 1987. 4 images in total, well actually 2 images but each one is presented in 2 variations! South Island, New Zealand Taking a brief break from my India shots (don’t worry there’s more to come…) today I’m digging back into my archives to present some New Zealand, South Island, landscapes.
