Dawid,

The scans from the leaves and flowers look very good te me. The other ones
are a bit bluish on my monitor and to my eyes.

I said I'd try some colour film in my OM for a change this year...

I still hate scanning 35mm with an Epson V700, but the results are not  
bad. I can almost get a decent 8 megapixels out of this thing, now  
that focus is calibrated. When Epson says calibrated, it means  
fiddling with flimsy plastic bits until the film is held the correct  
distance above the scanning glass.

Some very strange late-afternoon light in our garden...

Something like 1/8s at f/1.4, it was pitch dark...

What can I say, I like shooting Zuikos at full aperture :-) The last  
image was more of a test, I wanted to see what super-wide angle with  
the Zuiko 21mm at optimum aperture could look like on colour film. I  
must say, apart from film grain, the detail rendition is mighty  
impressive right into the corners. Scanned this at 3200dpi (12+  
megapixels) and it's really surprisingly good. In all of these  
experiments, I am struck by the immense dynamic range of colour  
negative film.

I hate fiddling with the colour trying to make them look right, I  
could still play with these for hours before being truly happy. And  
this with Vuescan, supposedly among the better scanning apps! (but the  
application with the single worst, amateur user interface I have ever  
used in my life)

thanks for looking,
Dawid Loubser
