Hi wormzz ,

Lovely pictures .. didn't know film scanners can scan that kind of detail .

Can share what scanner you are using ?

Some sharpness seems to be lost after I save at quality 7~8.

Comments welcome

Yeah, that was me. Don't remember seeing anyone in blue shirt. I wanted the bluish sky, so I went earlier. Will post the photos up when I get them developed.

I'm not going back for re-shoot, unless the prints turn out horrible. Am trying to take the buildings from esplanade or Shears Bridge the next time.

Just got myself a Nikon Coolscan IV. Very good scanner compared to my previous ones.

The only Nikon thing I own and it did not let me down!

Cool ... looks like its time to save up and buy one

Wonder how's the performance of the minolta dual scan 3 compared to this ?

 

[wormz777]

Not sure abt the minolta, but I feel the ICE3 already more than make up the difference in price!

Hi wormzz ..

Thanks for the advise .. almost forgot that the minolta doesn't have ice

Wow... looks almost the same as mine! Even the ship light trails are similar

The sky is much more interesting than mine.

wormz777
Yeah, I wait for the traffic lights to turn green then rush back to press the shutter. I think your light trails are better, seems like more vehicles pass through that day for you.

It was taken actually in 2001 and I visiting the location on the 3rd try, I manage to get the right cloud and sunset. I was told if you snap on full moon, the sunset will be slower so you have more option.
