Strawberry Banke - Tech Pan

Very nice. Clean, sharp and a nice range of tones. The flag in the foreground is a nice touch.

Nice to see a side by side comparison of the same scene in B&W and colour, assuming of course the scans can actually replicate the best colour and B&W print possible. The colour scene looks more "open and brighter" I suspect this impression I have may be caused by the colour green being too dark in B&W. In some ways it has made me think that I need to carry my yellow-green filter with me more often for scenes involving scenes with trees.

Thanks, guys. Pentax, the scans should be color accurate (scanner and my monitor are calibrated), but once it passes beyond my computer I don’t know what it looks like except the color profile is standard sRGB. I didn’t do any color correction, either, to capture the toning of tech pan in photographer’s formulary TD-3. The velvia pic looks right on my iphone. This techpan pic on my iphone doesn’t *quite* look as warm as the negative.

Thanks for the reply, Nodda Duma. One day and that day has to be soon or way into next year, now it is autumn, I must go into a woodland scene and take three pics with no filter, yellow-green and green to get this side by side comparison.

@pentaxuser Even more fun, I also took that shot with a dry plate and posted it here a while back. Just look through my media content and you'll see it. Ignore all the dust / specks that I was too lazy to clean off when I scanned the plate.
