Salvage Saturday

[Ben Egbert]

I apologize for not getting this up yesterday, I thought it was friday,

So pile on with the recently reworked images. Today I am showing a scanned slide from 1982, Kodachrome 25.

 

[AlanLichty]

I decided to dig deep for this one with a Kodachrome 25 slide from December 1974 showing a sunset at the Superstition Mountains near Apache Junction.

 

[John Holbrook]

Near Devils Kitchen, WY (October 2012) Edited RAW file from a Nikon D800 for shadows in particular and highlights of the clouds––and colors too.

Nice one Alan, much sharper than mine and great scan/processing.

good job John, shadows, color and highlights all look good. Neat image too.

A bit of a long story with this one. I was originally happy with the image. It was soft but since it is mostly falling water it didn't really bother me. Looking closely at it I thought that there may be an image at the bottom of the falls where the water hits the rocks.

Viewing at 100% I noticed that the softness was lots of camera movement in the 1s exposure. I remember that I took it while standing on a steeply sloping hillside covered in thick heather. I was using a large Gitzo Systemic tripod with 3" spikes but couldn't get the spikes through the heather so there was a touch of bounce in the strong wind. As is my usual habit with waterfalls I hade taken many shots at widely varying shutter speeds and the fast ones looked fairly sharp.

Looking closely at the bottom

I do like the shapes and textures but the overall composition looks unbalanced to me but it gives me ideas for my next visit. Here is one of the faster shutter speed images at 1/100s

Good object lesson in this series. I actually like the first 2 and of the crops, the 4th.

This is from circa 2004 shot with a Canon 10D. Just processed with some noise correction and tonal range.

Wow Ken, that’s really cool. I think we have all been there before with it being windy at a waterfall and soft ground below us, so I know your feeling. It’s interesting to see each, and I do hope a revisit to there is in the near future.

This is really nice, good thing for canon this modern software did not exist then or we might not have upgraded

Even with modern software, those cameras were pretty limited. I never went over ISO 400 and that too was rarely. And of course 6MP is still 6MP.

A collection of slides rescanned. I think the 1st two are Kodachrome & last Ektachrome
Rescanned at 4000 dpi, used Topaz AI sharpen & edit to taste

Yellowstone 1973

Yosemite, Glacier Point 1977

Great scan and rework Dan, love that 2nd image.
