sunset on velvia

Post by mark dyson »

I have started using Fuji velvia slide film in one of my spare backs for my camera. I have had a few scanned by Walter and I have posted one here.Image

Hi Mark

This is absolutely gorgeous, I love sunsets/rises anyway, but the colours in this are fantastic, so warm and vibrant yet dramatic at the same time, absolutely stunning work.

Good to see - and excellent pre scanning processing! :lol:
Epson 750 scanner using the professional mode setting - thats as much technical information as I can recall.

Lovely colours, Mark. Nice shot.

However, I think it's a bit on the dark side and would look even better if you brighten it up a touch. Open it up in your favourite image editing software and check the 'Levels' on it and you'll see what I mean.

Best regards

Another nice shot, Mark.
But ditto my comment above.

I'm just trying to offer some help.
Do you know what I mean by 'Check Levels' ?
