day at the lake...

[whiterabbit7500]

So i had nothing to do today, and some extra rolls of film, so I decided to take the camera to the lake and take some shots. Again, the pictures might appear grainy because I have to scan them from prints. Any C&C is welcome

What a pity to see how much these photos suffer in the scanning and subsequent compression process. Some look like paintings, so much detail has gone lost. I opened up 1, 3 and 8, because those interested me most from the look at the thumbnails and was a little disappointed by the lack in quality.

I still like Photo 1 for that goose (I assume it is?) looks interesting, but it is too centred for my liking ... you could work on composition a bit by cropping out that tree trunk on the right, I think.

Do you develop your own film, or do you take it somewhere? I know a lot of places offer to put film prints on CD. That might help cut down on the grain and whatnot. All that aside, these are excellent photos. Those are interesting waterfowl. Any idea what they are?

I take it to a camera specialty shop to develop, but their scanners do about the same thing. Still need to photoshop out what grain I can. I'm really just using this film SLR until I can learn/save up enough for a decent digital SLR.
On the ducks, I have no idea the actual name of the species. Their just big, fat annoying ducks, lol. Thanks for the critique though guys :mrgreen:
