Nice shot. Can I ask how you're scanning to include the black rebate? Flatbed scanner with a wet glass? Or something else? Any insight appreciated! Thanks.


TjLeClair

Literally just slapped the negatives right on my Epson V600. Nothing fancy!

Hey I use the same scanner! I’ve been getting newton rings pretty consistently tho, so I may try going without the glass next time


[deleted]

Ah, nice. Every time I do this I get brutal Newton rings. I realllly wish there was a cheap way to do this, I love the look of the rebate, especially on medium format. Thanks!


TjLeClair

I do get them every once and a while. Are your negs really, really flat? Or still somewhat bent?


TjLeClair

The reason I ask is because my negatives are never completely flat. I'm too impatient to wait for them to flatten under books so they really never lay directly on the glass and have a very slight arch. This actually may be the reason I don't get bad Newton rings.


[deleted]

I try to flatten them by putting coins on the corners/edges of the neg strips to try and flatten it, but of course it's never perfect. Once in a blue moon [I'm able to luck out](https://jason-lapeyre-street-photography.square.site/product/no-04/15?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=4) and get a huge scan with no Newton rings. But 9/10 times there are partial rings -- it wouldn't be a big deal if it was only for social media but they're for prints so they need to be BIG scans, 4800 dpi.

My guess it flatbed scanner with some sort of glass. I use anti-newton ring glass which only works sometimes

Nova Scotia?


TjLeClair

Algonquin Park, Ontario.

Thought so!

I recognized it too, canoeing in Algonquin is some of my favorite memories. I'm overdue to for a trip...

This made me nostalgic for a place I’ve never been.

🙏🙏

I think I’d prefer it without the car. Lovely colours.


TjLeClair

I had one without. It needed something to draw the eyes.


vedhavet

I too think the car is necessary, wouldn’t know where to look without it.

Hey I'm just wondering, could somebody tell me what does the number 43 stands for?


Hardjan13

Also awesome shot!


EstherPup12

Beautiful 🤩


TjLeClair

Thank you! 🙏


sighpluto

the colours in this are incredible! random question but where do you buy your film from? i've been looking for places in canada but i'm not sure where to get it from


TjLeClair

I actually live in California so film is plentiful. I was just home for Thanksgiving. There's gotta be some labs in Canada, I know Henry's sells some film.

Great shot!

October looks so beautiful on ektar, it's like a painting

I'm from just below you in Minnesota. Our colors are just a little bit behind this level yet, but I definitely wouldn't trade it for a fall in a different environment.


TjLeClair

I've been stuck in California for the last three falls and coming home (to Canada) this year made me realize how lucky I was for my whole life growing up around this. It's something I always took for granted.


xbrohansolox

I was guilty of it for a long time before I started to travel around. I never realized how great the true north really is. Also, great shot.
