I think the luminosity mask is the right direction, but I've just learned how to make and apply a mask. I would like to make a mask for just the sky. I'll have to keep farting around.
I've never done darkroom work, always shot slides in the old days. So I can't comment. But if you want to do more masking, you could remove or smooth out just some of those spots so they didn't appear so regularly spaced. That would make them look natural. Just a suggestion.

Slides from October 1978.
I have no idea where this is. Anyone recognize it? Montreal or Boston or Cambridge?

Another study of architectural contrast, Trinity Church and the Hancock Building, Boston

I worked on this quiet a while trying different luminosity masks, and I couldn't get that to work so I just cloned out the uneven sky.
Here's a couple more from Glacier.

We had steady snow here all day so I spent much of the afternoon scanning more old slides, all taken with my Nikkormat FTn on Ektrachrome, most likely with a 50mm f/1.4, 1978 through 1981. I also posted these in another thread in the Nikon forum.
With friends at the top of Franconia Ridge, White Mountains, New Hampshire, elevation about 5000 ft. For those of you not familiar with the White Mountains, tree line there is only 4000 ft due to the severity of the weather.
My sweetie and myself on Monadnock, Jaffrey, New Hampshire.
My sweetie on the rocks at Nobska Point, Woods Hole, Massachusetts.
A tree apparently with some history, Falmouth, Massachusetts.
Some colorful plant life. I have no idea where these were taken.

This scan is from a 6x6 Provia slide, shot back in 1997, at one of Cincinnati's urban parks. Camera was a Mamiya C33 TLR w the standard 80, but the remaining details are lost to memory. I do remember it being very cold and windy, and shooting this well after sunset on a tripod. The color and density is quite representative of how the image appears on a lightbox. I can also say that no filters were used, but only because I never used filters with that camera.
Can't say I have ever seen snow so neatly plastered to the sides of local trees before or after. Wish I took more images.
Ault Park, Cincinnati, 1997

Here's few 4x5s that I scanned and worked on the last two days.
The first two are along the entrance road to Many Glacier campground. The waterfall is Florence, a spur trail through 6 foot high cow paddies off the Gunsight trail. Goose Island should be recognizable. The last one is the creek you cross on the Gunsight Trail.

Yesterday, I was testing out the Essential Film Holder I got last week. It took about 3 months to arrive. I thought about posting this under the scanning thread, but I don't really have anything to say about the holder, except it seems to work fine. I'm doing two image stitches. Solid design.
These are from a couple rolls shot in South Dakota back in the mid- or late-90s. Back then I didn't have time to print, so I was developing the film and contact printing. Fun to see these "enlarged."

Very nice, dramatic yet subtle. Strong sense of place, though I've never been to SD. (At least that's how they appear to me.)
Speaking of place, here are a few newly-scanned slides taken 1971 to 1973.
Wonderland, more commonly known as the White Mountains, New Hampshire
Wild blueberries, probably Great Meadows, Shenandoah National Park, VA
Seek identifies this as Sheep Laurel. Probably Shenandoah NP
I have no idea where this is, barely recall taking this picture

Recently developed 11 C-41 Rolls. One was an old 24 exp roll of Ektar 1000, which turned out to be from 1993. When it came out of the Photo-flo it looked black. After it dried it looked very, very dark brown, and I couldn't see any image with my eye on a light table. However, the Nikon LS-5000 saw something, and NLP made it better still. Exposed 33 years ago sitting there all this time.

A previously hidden glimpse of the past, impressive work to bring it light (literally, not metaphorically).

I've had a roll of film sitting in the darkroom for 32 years (at room temp) and I finally developed it. Based on the label "Verichrome" I thought it was from the 70s (47 years ago), but it was actually Tmax 100 and a ski bib in one photo dated the roll. The negs are quite thin (TMax requires a longer development time), but the fog was surprisingly mild, similar to the same bulk roll in the freezer.
I couldn't quite get the same angle in the "after" photo since a silver maple is in the way. That silver maple replaced a huge elm tree that was damaged in a storm when I was re-roofing the house.
Rollei 35 (based on the negs being "up-side-down."
D-23 with some benzo.

Found another 1993 image. The last photo I took of my father in late July 1993. He was head of a division (instrument) for a now defunct company known as Lear Siegler. They provided things like attitude indicators, altimeters etc for Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and all commercial jets in the 1960s. It was a geeky bunch of engineers spanning a range of specialties that he worked with. This is at age 73 and TriX film

Good Evening,
A Kodachrome 64 taken back in the early 90's; Les Schockley at the wheel of "ShockWave", jet truck using 3 J34-48 engines. At over 36,000 HP, it ripped.
Quonset NAS (RI), shot with Canon F1 N with FD 85mm f1.8, which I still own...
Regards,
Edd

Some of my wife's photos, never scanned or printed until I got the Valoi. All circa 2005-2006, I think.
