I've spent a couple of days playing with the flatbed scanner trying nto get decent scans off old negs and slides.. I can't get the quality anywhere near what I want but this one off a slide is one of my old faves..

The little town of Cartama in Andalucia was positively glowing on this April morning - the clarity of light in the clear Mediterannean sky... Some local fiesta was coming up - as you can see from the Spanish flags hanging from the railings.

Taken with a Minolta X300 camera and Fuji Velvia 100 if I recall rightly..

Excellent DOF and lighting.

Wow. Yeah, nothing wrong with this scan. The colors looks really vivid, nice sharp detail. Looks like a perfect day ... nice comp with the little street leading in and the tower off center.
What kind of scanner do you have David? I have a mountain of slides from way back, and I'd love to see if there's anything salvagable in there.

Hi David, Just looking at this I get a small, mini vacation. I like the white against the blue. Great travel shot showing the Spanish flags. I like how my eyes stay on this photo. The left side frames the scene and the right has the angles to keep me right in the midst of things. :)Lisa

Hello David,

You have really captured the jolity of this street, even without people.
The bright sunshine has created wonderful contrasts of light and shadow, but your careful management has meant no oe on the white.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

David

A successful scan, for sure, with the cheerful sunny mood working well. I like the variety of architectural and visual details, including the shadows across the pavement. Delightful and appealing:)
