Thanks for the very kind words guys. This image was taken during my shortened visit to Oregon in May of this year. Initially I wanted to take the image with my Toho Shimo FC45X with my 75mm Grandagon lens. Unfortunately, the camera would not afford sufficient rise with the lens (subsequent to the trip I purchased the Toho Eccentric lens panel that may have allowed sufficient rise) to keep the lines straight. I returned another morning with the Mamiya 7II and the 43mm Mamiya lens. I was forced to tilt the camera to capture the image, but this is not evident in the image.
Also, I am not quite sure as to why the uploaded images are not matching the colors as viewed in Photoshop CS2. The real colors of this image are a bit warmer and more intense in both the digital file used for upload as well as the prints themselves. Rich
Richard,
Well done! I am sorry that you are not happy with the scan, but without the original to compare to, I think it is great! I really appreciate you sharing this image with us! I haven't put an APUG image into "My Favorites" for a long time but with your permission this one diffinitely goes in.
Thanks for the very kind words. I am not unhappy with the scan. It looks great both in the original Photoshop CS2 file and the prints that have been made by the Chromira Printer. I put one of these out and the 24" X 30" print sold the first day it was displayed in the Art Show. I am just not as overjoyed with the color rendering here at APUG.
You certainly have my approval to include this in your favorites. Thanks again. Rich
