Digitize my chromes

[phillane]

As I slowly digitize my chromes I thought I'd share. Shot this bad boy in Jasper National Park on Ekatchrome ES200 SW which is was some of the nicest warm toned slide film around. Ahh, nothing looks like to a Ciba print these days although there are some fairly good metallic processes pout there. It was dusk I pushed the film to 400 shutter speed with my Canon 400F 5.6 was less than 100th of a second all the way open.

Nice looking bull, there seems to be a strong magenta cast. I did a little average blur to remove the cast, some levels work to set color balance. Greens could have saturation dialed down IMO, but just did it quick to give an idea.See what you think.

Those slides can be brutal !!! .. you doing yourself?

Best to zero in on a neutral tone and try to color balance, I had a ton sent to the Scan Cafe and was a good option, did a good job of scanning !!

Fine looking bull, would have liked more room up front and less behind !!!

When the chrome was pushed a stop it ran red, keep in mind E200 ran red to begin with. This was kodaks attempt to steal market share from Velvia at the time by producing a E6 based film with very neon saturated colors. I have reposted with some addition color corrections, thanks Todd for your feedback. In answer to your questions Al, yes I really found labs in general do a poor job and considering I been scanning slides for two decades I don't mind the work but yes it is a pain at times. This was during the rut and this Bull had just taken down a small tree with it's antlers, getting in front of him was not an option I thought to consider. Part of the problem is if you remove too much red here you destroy your alot of your middle tones which sit in the red zones.



Thanks
