You seem to be getting pretty good colour from your scans. What scanner are you using?

Epson V500 – just a cheap flatbed. For the price ($150 new), I can’t complain, but dedicated film scanners blow it out of the water. The V500 is pretty terrible with most color films (negative or positive) but adequate with quite a few black and white films. I’ve pretty much resorted to shooting only the films that scan the best. The film I used for this shot (Kodak Ektachrome E100VS) scans better than most slide films.

“dedicated film scanners blow it out of the water”
I wouldn’t say that. I’ve been using an older Nikon Coolscan IV and I’m not happy with how it’s scanning my old Kodachromes.

Welcome to the hell that is Kodachrome scanning. Very few scanners can properly handle it (although a change in software may help). My friend had a Coolscan IV (now broken) and he scanned some of my slides/negatives for comparison; it definitely beat the V500, sometimes handily.

I miss my scanner, a Minolta Scan Elite 5400 was great but has now died.

You know I was just reading about that scanner (creepy); actually, the 5400 II. Seems like a decent scanner, although it does appear prone to all kinds of issues.

MY first though was: “Awww, yellow!” The colors makes me so happy. 🙂 Nice and different picture of a flower.

Thanks. Yellow is tough to photograph, but I think this turned out alright.

Nice. Very yellow! But then, I love yellow!

This is so nice to see the colours comming back in spring. Yellow is sometimes difficult to catch, – you did it well here 🙂

With film, yellow is ALWAYS difficult to catch. 🙂
