The film is unbelievable but there are little spots(you don,t see them in the jpeg,s) in the base that take hours to clear . Kodak states that these are easy to remove with a diffusion enlarger without a loss of detail but have not figured out how to do it quickly in PS . There has to be a way with layers to do it all at once but it,s a bit of a puzzle. I have many more cloud shots of last trip.The ones i took over Iraq are disappointing only the fractal i found a bit nice. My bird is the only biggie with curved winshields ;at some angles worse then a coke bottle. It took a bit of manoevring to line up the shots through the clearest bits. You would have enjoyed that . Didn,t see Grahams comment yet thanks for the relay . He,s nuts though his frames are much better have a common theme and are way better executed. I,m blundering along. Still this film wow you magnify and magnify and don,t see a change just more and more detail . I,m going to the zoo to find a rat so i can photograph it,s tail with a large summicron with the camera mounted in a 1 ton block of concrete to humour B.D. Are you in Canada in september?There is a chance i,ll be on saturna island with my nieces family. simon
