The Coal Bunker

[JohnMF]

A shot from a recent batch i processed. Turned out to be one of my faves on the roll.

Interesting looking coal. I've never seen them almost round like that.

I like it, it would make a great series.

nice stuff, what are you using to scan your negs? i'm looking for something to do 120..

 

[JohnMF]

thanks

Ocular: I think it is special smokeless coal, it seems to be compressed or something.

Duncan: a Canonscan 8800f. It's quite good if you place the film directly on the glass and flatten it with another piece of glass. Although I do get the occasional funny colours appearing, not sure what is causing that.

hmm the 8800f was what i've been looking at as i can get it on staff price at work

Nice tones. I'd like to see the foreground in better focus but that's just me.

I got a Canon V700 for scanning 35mm and 120 negatives but haven't had a chance to put it to use yet. Only used it for Polaroids but have been extremely pleased so far.
