Sure. It still needs to be uploaded.

Hell Andrew, Nope, it's not too late. Please send me your mailing address via PM if you want a negative. Thanks

Hello LtDave, You sort of signed up, for a scan. You'll be able to access it once it's up on the Photrio site. The file size is 43 MB

I'll mail you a negative. I already have your address. Thanks

Please see post #26. Once the scan is up, I'll describe the photo so people have more context.

Hello, I have struggled getting a good scan from the negative, but after several tries, what I have will probably have to do. I could send a negative to you if you want to give it a try. I used a Nikon Coolscan V, with Nikon's scanning software. No image enhancement. It just looks very grainy...

I am sorry I asked. I did not mean to ruin the magic. But for me, knowing the subject does not diminish it and I still really like the effect. Not knowing the technique preserves much of the mystery.

Are these the Wild Rose kilns in the Panamints? Cool picture!

I sway to the technical side, which comes easily to me, but I find the creative side a challenge and it probably maintains my interest in the long-run. I don't take many pictures for pleasure, but it is mainly due to cost of film, anticipated time in the darkroom (if B & W), and always saving a...

At the risk of drifting too far into ethics rather than photography, the backhoe story is a little more complicated. Most if not all causes of backhoe accidents are from employers cutting-corners, after a hole is dug competently. Still, an experienced backhoe operator dug a hole for me and made...

About 60 years ago, I was an "innocent bystander" to my father's experience in wedding photography. One of his friends was a professional photographer (newspaper freelancer I think) and he helped my dad get started. He stuck with it for a while, but it was a side hustle so not a big financial...

Whatever works for you - there is no rule about it. With the camera in landscape mode, I mount the lens so that the shutter speed range is along the top, and the f-stops are along the bottom, and also conveniently places the cable release socket and the shutter-opener switch.

I am interested in the Fuji Provia. Do you accept Pay Pal?

There are plenty of negatives left. Please send me your mailing address via the Photrio PM service. Thanks
