I was quite disappointed this week to receive back my slides of
Ireland. The Provia 100F had pushed nicely to ISO400 and the slides
came back quickly (out by post Monday, back Wednesday!). There were 3
problems: the slides had a few bits of dust on them which required
quite a bit of spotting with clone tool etc...; the contrast in Ireland
had been a bit too much for the film and I have had to accept washed
out highlights in the sky to see the detail in the fore- and
mid-ground; and the blasted polariser had intruded into the corners on
several shots.
The vignetting was my fault as I had used a hood as well as a Hoya
super-slim polariser. Because the hood would not allow me easily to
fit the filter, I had screwed it in only gently. This was obviously
just a bit too far forward for my superwide Zuiko. The 50-250
performed well for me though.
In case you wish to see some of the shots (this is only one film, there
are 4 more to scan, 2 mono and 2 colour print) you can see them at
http://homepage.mac.com/zuiko/Ireland.
Let me know if they will not show for you, or if they are too dark or
light.
Chris
p.s. Ireland is a beautiful place, so if my shots don't show that, go
and find out for yourself. Oh, and the Guinness really is better there
;-) cb.
