They were scanned on a medium format scanner, and my new Nikon 5000ED is doing a better job. I got into a workflow routine with the latter 6 rolls, so for sake of consistency, I'll try a rescan. I expected some people to mention the 24x36 aspect of the shots. I have tried in most cases (except the squares) to keep the same aspect of 35mm film rather than boxing it up more in the 8x10 aspect. Surprisingly, I got no complaints.

I appreciate the straightforward, documentary nature of your choices...this is not a case where one would want to go overboard with ultra-wide angle lenses, etc, etc. A few faves from this group: http://www.400tx.com/9th-50.html I'm very partial to these car/tree comparisons, as I mentioned before. http://www.400tx.com/9th-48.html Detail of church pews with strong shadows is very nicely done, especially with the caption, which helps me to understand it. I think finding both details such as this as well as the wider shots is important. http://www.400tx.com/9th-52.html This one is (if you'll forgive the word in this context) beautiful. The way the light hits the house draws my eye right to the wave-like pattern of the disrupted siding, and only after that do my eyes find the upside down pickup truck peeking out. I find these photos that combine beauty with such horrible destruction to be more powerful than the destruction shots alone. Well done, and thanks for showing, Aaron At 11:05 PM 2/8/2006, you wrote: >This is the last of the shots from the five rolls I scanned this week, >beginning at: > >http://www.400tx.com/9th-41.html > >Comments and suggestions appreciated. > >Jeffery Smith >New Orleans, LA >http://www.400tx.com > > > > >_______________________________________________ >Leica Users Group. >See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
