Re: [APML] new BRC shot

["Bobby Middleton" <bobm@koyote.com>]

Thank you Don. Actually I used the color data in a composite from an earlier
shot I did with a Tak Epsilon 130 on Kodak LE400. I don't think it affected
the outcome much, and the blend rate was a pretty small percentage (I think
<20 %) so I didn't even mention it in the first post. But it probably did
boost the blue some and also probably took off a bit of the orange that M8
so often gives to E200. Another reason I didn't mention it was the fact that
I probably couldn't even reproduce what I did as I was just experimenting
with several different things at the same time. But yes, that's not 100%
E200 you are looking at; I wish it was. I have never been happy with E200
but right now (even considering the Provia F400) I believe it is the best
120 film there is.
Here's the way I think the colors should look for this arae. It's a LE400
mosaic of the region:

I might consider letting my oldest son become an indentured servant for
Kodak if they'd produce LE400 in 120 format <g>
