so i got around once again to scanning in some photos at work.

this one is from western michigans arb. i think its called assylum lake
they had some sweet red winged black birds but they were too far away to get even with 400mm.

This is also from the same place.

and this one is from kalamazoo college's arb. im not sure of the focus on this, i remember spending a while trying to figure it out. probably should have used a higher f/stop.

Did you forget to mention the polarizer or did you not use any?
If not, how did you get these colours?
Last time I used mine, I had pink clouds like the ones that show in your photos, they are what make me wonder, you see?
The intense blue of the sky is fascinating, indeed!
And that lake that you get a chance to visit is beautiful. I love such serene and peaceful scenes - in photos even more, since there are no mosquitos coming out of the photos .

oh yea...polarizer i dont think i take a single picture of sky without it.

that last film i used was AGFA Ultra color. it made my skys really blue. some of the pictures from the rolls have unreal blue skys. i had problems with my 28 mm lens and the corners of my pictures being so dark blue that they look black.

and tomorrow is lake michigan for a sun set :lmao:

Cool, I'll be sitting here with bated breath to wait for the results... ah, well, no, I'd die from suffocation. You shoot film. Agreed: I shall breathe inbetween. And yet: nice to hear you're going out for the sunset.
(And you had a beer in BONN? The town of my first university? Cool!)

I really like #5. Something about the strong contrast of colors. I like the blending of colors in #6 too.

I like the last one. Very rich, warms tones in a pretty scene. I've heard good things about that Agfa Ultra Color. :thumbup: Nice!
